Unlike others I found this morning's TPs quite exciting, and the best of the last while. I'm not sure if it's due to DXing from a bit further north, or just a change in propagation. The audio listed below was heard between 1430 and 1510. I did also listen earlier (well, on at automated basis!), but the only audio at 1100 or 1200 was from Japan on 774. A most unusual morning in that the Aussie on 1548 was doing well, but other than a feeble 4BC, no others were to be found. I had to be careful what I assumed too. When I first noted audio on 1593 I expected it to be China's CNR, which is usually what I get there, but it turned out to be Japan. On the other side I expected the audio on 1422 to be from Japan, but it was not. Not sure what it was. CRI from Kashi is a possibility, but last year I only heard that on a couple of exceptional days. I think the biggest surprise though was hearing audio on 1584, which is pretty much the Asian version of a graveyard channe! l. I'd like to be able to say the band is alive with TA's this evening, but no such luck, as we have yet to see any sign of a TA tonight.
