As I mentioned earlier, I really thought conditions were wonderful this morning....easily the best I've experienced in Victoria this year, and as good as many of the best mornings last year. I knew things were brewing when I began DXing this morning at 13:01 UTC on 1215 (left on from last night's TA search) and heard Chinese at a 7 level.....rare! Continued until just after 14:00 when I had to get going for work. Here's what I heard in audio, with "6" level, unless otherwise noted. One more comment: conditions were highly variable, with signal strength rocketing up to very good strength, and then falling at times to inaudible....more so than normal here. Great fun! Having the Perseus running the full MW spectrum on the coast would have been a fantastic opportunity, I think! Great DX.......Walt in Victoria.
