Hello All,
Asian results here were somewhat different from those reported by Dennis,
probably because of a very late start time. A short listening session from
1530-1550 was all that was possible here this morning, and it certainly seemed
like I had missed the boat for peak Asian propagation, at least on the low
band.
Right at 1530 there were some interesting signals from 594-JOAK (fair),
603-HLSA (fair to good), 639-CNR1 (poor to fair) and 648-VOR (fair), but these
were all long gone within 5 minutes as sunlight increased. The high band
propagation stuck around a little bit longer as 1377-CNR1 (poor), 1503-JOUK
(poor), 1575-VOA (very good) and a mix of 1593-CNR1 (fair) and the Japanese
co-channel (poor) were dropping in and out from 1535-1550. Out of this standard
high band group only 1575-VOA had any real energy, and it was the last Asian
survivor at 1550. The earlier sunrise recently seems to have resulted in the
Asians collectively bailing out well before they did a few weeks back, at least
in this landlocked valley location.
