Listened this morning from 13:12 to 14:19 UTC. As soon as I looked at the screen (Nick's DX Fishbarrel), it was very apparent that this would be a good morning, and indeed it was. SF 124, A 8, K (12:00) 2. No space weather past 24, nor any predicted next 24 hours. Impressive Asia opening with some armchair levels on many first tier JJ stations. In fact, what I heard was mostly Japan. The dawn enhancement was pronounced, but again, mainly Japanese with a very modest DU appearance. LW even wasn't too bad, and SQM 529 was very well heard this morning (a rarity for me these days). A always, "6" (threshold audio) unless otherwise stated:
LW: 153 - 6, 189 - 7, 234 - 6, 279 - 7 All at 13:39. My LW is very noisy (could be in my shack or a neighbour), but when rechecked at 13:39, the noise was way down. 558: 6.5 567: 7.5 level 13:42 NHK 1 // 594 594: 9 level early, and still strong at 14:04 NHK1 603 612: 7.5 level, presumed Brisbane at 14:05 621: 6.5 level 639 657: 7 level at 14:04 666: 8 level NHK 1 at 14:06 702: 6.5 711: 7 level.
