I was up a bit early this morning and TP DX seemed a bit decent, but nothing exciting peaked until after 1600. 1503 PHILIPPINES, Davao City, DYAB, very good with apparent news at 1616 UTC with man in Tagalog, several mentions of "ABS-CBN". Peaking at S7+. Not new, but surprised to hear in January, especially so strong. 1/2. (PM-OR)
t1548 SRI LANKA, DW with man in accented EE at 1620, 1/2. At first I was going to go by without stopping thinking it was only 4QD, but I stuck around because of the accent, as it was not the Aussie accent. Was in EE. The more I listened the more I could hear occasional words in German, then after 1630, the program sounded all in German. Not bad in peaking at S8 or better. I am going to send a CD to DW as I got a fair amount of programming, I tried to check SW //'s but no dice, ot one could be heard. That is not uncommon as SW propagated differently that MW, but I am sure tickled with this one, being a tentative new country for 2008.. Heard with both SW EWE and WNW EWE phased giving me the Northwest lobe. Was audible only in that position. (PM-OR) Lots of other usual stuff was in like VOA-1575, HLAZ-1566, and a fair number of Chinese on 918, 936, 945, 963, 981, etc. But a good morning, especially for January.
