After reading Bill's report I started listening on the higher channels first. Much better than the lower channels, 3 lower channel powerhouse stations were heard. Three Chinese stations logged and a couple unknown stations too. A few more days of zero on the A & K Solar Indices would be nice. HLAZ 1566 was heard on the Eton e100 outside while filling the bird feeders around 1600 utc. Reception was poor at best. 1604 utc and HLAZ & VOA still have decent signals.
594 JAPAN, JOAK NHK 1 1534 very weak signal with man in Japanese. 603 REPUBLIC OF KOREA, HLSA 1536 weak signal with music. 774 JAPAN, JOUB 1532 weak signal with woman in Japanese. 1044 CHINA, CRI 1529 weak to fair signal at times. Japanese. but heavy domestic splatter made reception difficult. 1098 UNKNOWN, 1526 Asian station with poor signal. 1116 CHINA, 1522 believed to be the station with weak signal and talk. 1503 JAPAN, JOUK NHK 1 1540-1541 weak signal with Japanese talk. 1566 REPUBLIC OF KOREA, HLAZ 1512 good signal with man in Chinese. + Still good at 1538. 1575 THAILAND, VOA 1513 fair signal with man in Asian language. + Excellent signal at 1537. + UNKNOWN station underneath VOA at 1514 with weak signal and music. 1593 CHINA, CRN 1 1515 fair signal at times with man in Chinese. Moderate KOHI splatter.
