Hello All,
There was a definite downturn this morning in TP signal strength here,
especially on the mid-band frequencies like 1107, 1134, 1143 and 1170. Whereas
for the past week 1170 kHz had KBS and the Chinese station seriously
competing with KPUG (and the Indian-language KLOK), this morning KBS was way
down in strength, and the Chinese station was gone.
I checked 594 and 828 for the co-channel TP's reported by many DXers under
the NHK stations, but apparently these co-channels don't like mediocre
conditions. Today's sunrise enhancement sure didn't have much strength, and
the only interesting thing was on 540 kHz, which had a medium-strength
Russian-language station competing with CBK (maybe Radio Mayak?).
Can't complain about the October conditions in general, though. The new 9'
box loop has received 18 new TP's (and 2 new TA's) since being set up on
October 3rd, and has temporarily even made me forget about going to Grayland
:-)
