Hello All,
Asian TP's were rebounding here this morning with better signals and variety
than yesterday, but there still weren't very many second-tier stations showing
up. The big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774, 828, 972, 1134 and 1566 had no trouble
reaching vibrant audio during peak sunrise enhancement (around 1330), and
738-BEL2 in Taiwan joined in the fun with a fairly potent signal around 1325.
558-HLQH and 603-HLSA managed good signals at times, with 603 being an
all-Korean frequency until China showed up very late in the session.
A determined check for audio on some second-tier frequencies produced weak
Chinese music on 1017-CRI around 1338, and weak Chinese speech on 1035-CNR1
about the same time. During 738-Taiwan's vibrant peak at 1325 a check was made
on 1143-Taiwan, but it was a dud at the time. Many of the Chinese middle band
stations that normally manage good signals this time of year (1017, 1035 and
1044) have been notable underperformers here this September, with very feeble
audio at best. Like Nick has said, except for the big guns almost all of the
good TP performers this month have been on the low band, with 603-HLSA,
639-CNR1, 648-VOR and 738-Taiwan being the standouts here. In summary, the
Asians were fairly interesting this morning, and hopefully on an upward trend.
