OK, as John mentioned yesterday, it's difficult to call yet another morning, "best of the season", or "best ever", but this morning I was blown away with the wealth of rarely heard frequencies, especially on the lower half of the band and especially from Japan. Wow! Now the upper band may have been as good, but with all the digging in the bottom half, perhaps it was simply too far past dawn before I got to the upper channels. I'm not complaining, though! I started only at 13:18, having come home after midnight from a marathon delivery session last night. SF 75, K1, A1. "6" unless otherwise noted.
153 (9) and 279: 8 529: SQM at 9 (a good predictor of TP DX) 531: JJ at 6 level 13:25 540: CNR1 at 8 level and someone on 539.611 549: 7 level JJ at 13:29 558: 9 level with music 567: JJ at 8.5 level // 594 576: RR at 9 level 585: JJ and cochannel music at 7.5 level 594: JJ and coch at 9 level, and still 8 to 9 at 14:11 603: KK and strong CC at 13:32 9 level 612: Brisbane at 13:33 (strange how they're coming in all alone, no other cochannel and when I didn't hear any other DU stations). 8+ at 14:10. 621: North Korea at 7 level. I'm seeing 2 carriers on 620.996 and 620.92 639: CNR1 at 7 657: 7 level North Korea 666: JJ at 13:27 at 8 675: NHK1! at 13:38, then like a light switch, presumed VoV with soft spoken female (less likely CC) at 8 level 702: N. Korea at 8 711: 9 level pres KBS1 720: CNR2 at 8 738: Instrumental music over Taiwan Fisheries station (which was talk and //1143) 747: JJ at 9 level 756: 7 level undermod 765: 7 level undermod 774: JJ at 9+ level and weak cochannel. Still at 9+ at 14:12, and I was still hearing audio at 14:20 (with the sun up for a while). 783: 7 level 792: 8 level with 2 cochannel. Instrumental and talk at 13:45 801: 7 level with a very sick wobbly transmitter on the high side as well.

More likely JJ or KK 1143: ?JOBR at 8 1152, 1224 1242: 7.5 level at 14:01 plus het from 1242.45 1251: Jumble and CC at 7 level 1269, 1278 1287: JJ at 8 level 1314, 1332, 1341, 1359, 1386, 1422 1440: JJ at 8 level 14:05 1503, 1512 1566: HLAZ at 9 early, still a 7 at 14:06 1575: VOA at 9 early, still an 8 at 14:06 1584: 6 level with 3 tx seen: 1583.98, 1584.015, 1584.069 1593 No X-band activity.
