Conditions weren't too good at Grayland either - the K had been in the
4-5 range, and it sure sounded like it. A couple of decent NHK signals
plus a few bits and pieces on other channels, but that was about it. I
started at 1245 and pretty much gave up by 1330, deciding I'd rather get
some more sleep before driving back to Seattle.
I didn't take notes, so the following listings are from memory (Asian
except as noted):
Pretty darn good audio - 693 828
Reasonable audio - 747 774
Not so reasonable audio - 792 (English I think, Aussie?) 1053 1422 1566
Burbles in the splatter - 639 (Fiji?), 738, 837, 1116 (Aussie?), 1242,
1287, 1503
It seemed odd to have the NHK stations on 693 and 828 in better than 747
& 774 . I forgot to check 594, so I can't say how it was coming it.

As Gary noted, things were decidedly quieter this morning, to the point that,
several times I was ready to throw in the towel, then something would pop up.
I started listening just after 1300UT, when things were very poor, and held in
to around 1400UT, with the best period, such as it was, 1330 to 1340 UTC.
Then, at 1411 according to the propagation monitor, 612, presumably Australia,
popped up for its best peak of the morning...so, never say die, I guess
Asian unless otherwise noted:
pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): none
reasonable audios (though often battling w/splash): 1566 (before shifting its
pattern to China)
not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 594 (and yes, the
talk was almost certainly JJ, not English), 774, DU according to the loop, but
judging by the later logging on 828, perhaps it was JOUB on a skewed path; I
didn't listen carefully enough
Burbles in the splatter: 612 DU, 639 island mx, likely Fiji, 828 (although
looping well south of west, this seemed to be language lessons) and 1475 with a
monster carrier but not much audio
Strongish het, no audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter): 1098 DU
best wishes,
Nick
