Listened from 1350 for about an hour, and conditions continue "bitty", with very little in the way of consistent signal strength, and no really big signals either, just lots of hard work digging in the splatter. Upper band was incrementally a little better than the last two days, but still not good.
I didn't repeat Colin's logging of CC on 621, though it wasn't bad here about 15 minutes later, and has been a pretty consistent performer this season. The peak seems to around 1430-1440UT these mornings, but it's not too pronounced Just as I write this at 1620UT, there's still some weak JJ talk on 594, and weaker talk on 954 and 1242. At 1600, actually snagged 945 //5030, as well as 1575, but the strengths were pretty poor. pretty darn good audio (at least briefly): 279 R. Rossii earlier 594 JOAK , not steadily by any means 774 JOUB at 1401, rough earlier 828 JOBB at 1412, not before; another station struggling below reasonable audio at times during the period (though often battling w/splash or noise): 153 R. Rossii earlier on 567 JOIK//594 576 Mayak; RR talk by man 603 two stations, neither really dominant whenever I tuned by 621 CC talk o/hum on channel at 1445 747 JOIB later on 873 N. Korea //2850 1408UT 936 presumably Anhui, but poorer before 1430 963 CRI in RR 972 HLCA 981 CNR-1 //5030 1053 Korean jammer 1566 HLAZ, always a big carrier, but got to this level of audio 1449UT 1575 VoA later on not so reasonable audio, occasional words in splash or noise: 234 R. Rossii //279 at 1355; a rare visitor 558 seemed KK talk 1407 no 603 // at this time; JOCR under 639 CNR1 //5030 1446 w/ delay, then faded to something else w/slow murky talk 666 JOBK //594 at 1444UT 675 VV talk by man at 1433UT 738 CC talk by woman 1451UT 783 CC talk by man, not //6185 837 seemed like CC talk but not //5030 846 Tagalog talk by man? 945 CNR-1 //5030 w/usual delay at 1451UT; something else there, but not NHK1 1134 not //972; talk seemed more JJ, so JOQR 1161 mx 1323 CRI RR talk //963; rare visitor this season Burbles in the splatter and noise: 189 R.Rossii 531 seemed //594 so NHK1 540 CNR1 choral mx //5030, under EE religion 549 seemed //576, so Russia 585 JOPG //594 at 1445UT, which wasn't much better at this time 693 JOAB //828; this is really suffering from CBU splatter this season 702 hum w/ what seemed a mix of N.
