Hello All,
There must have been some happy DXers this morning as Asian signals improved
quite a bit, with a generous sunrise enhancement that continued until 1450
here. The NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were all very strong at
times during the 1300-1450 listening session, along with the Koreans on 657,
972, 1053 and 1566. As Dennis reported, 1575-VOA also managed good signals from
1400-1430, and 1287-JOHR acted like a big gun for most of sunrise enhancement.
Although second-tier Asian audio was modest until around 1415 (with only fair
audio from 603-HLSA and 738-BEL2 in and out) , a late rally from the Chinese
mainland stations (and Russia) made the session pretty interesting from 1415
until the end of sunrise enhancement (around 1450). Both 639-CNR1 and 648-VOR
came up to good audio during this period, and 918, 927, 936, 981, 1017, 1035,
1044 and 1323 all managed fair audio in and out of the noise late in the
session. Best signal of the morning was from 972-HLCA, with its usual S/N
pegging music around 1355. Although the session was a dramatic improvement over
yesterday, low expectations after the recent miserable week probably made it
seem better than it was in comparison with the rest of the season. Even so,
it's great to have very strong Asian signals back-- even if they are from the
usual big guns.
