Hello All,
Although the morning was definitely a clunker compared to yesterday, the Asian
results here were similar to those reported by Dennis (without the DU's, of
course). At 1300 the band was completely comatose, without even a TP carrier
here. Things sounded bleak right up until 1330, when a few big gun TP's like
972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer started to manage fair audio. 594-JOAK hit a fair
to good peak at 1345, and then some weird Chinese high band stations (1323-CRI
and 1377-CNR1) started to come out of the noise with poor audio in and out.
1566-HLAZ was also playing hide-and-seek with fair audio around 1350, along
with 1503-JOUK. The other Japanese, Korean and Chinese stations were missing in
action all morning (most of them without even a decent carrier).
The halfhearted TP propagation didn't last for long, and everything had crashed
by 1405 here. Best signal of a very lackluster morning was that from 594-JOAK
at 1345, one of very few Asians managing any kind of reasonable audio.
594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Fair Japanese male-female speech and
interval music at 1345; best signal of a miserable morning
