Listened this morning from 13:36 to 14:28. Compared to other mornings, my observations were quite different than Nick's DX Fishbarrel. SF 130 A 4 K (12:00) 1. No space weather last and predicted for next 24 hours. Whereas Nick seemed to be picking up the first tier Japanese stations well, mine were rather moribund. Instead, I was getting some pretty darn good reception on some Chinese frequencies, at the same time that Nick was not getting much if any signal. Go figure. My North corner fed loop did the bulk of the work this morning. The highlight was CNR1 on 639, often at 9 level. No DU activity I could hear. A definite dawn enhancement to Asia only today. As always, a "6" unless otherwise noted:
