Hello All,
The low band Asians finally broke out of their winter doldrums here this
morning during a potent sunrise enhancement, as propagation finally seemed to
favor the lower TP frequencies.
As usual the band showed little sign of Asian life around 1430, but by 1500
some weak but interesting signals from 603-HLSA and 657-Pyongyang were already
showing up. The high band seemed rather quiet at the same time, with only
1566-HLAZ managing fair audio in and out. As sunlight increased the low band
Asians went on a romp, with 594-JOAK (good), 603-HLSA (good, but with no
Chinese co-channel), 639-CNR1 (poor-fair), 648-VOR (good) and 657-Pyongyang
(good) hitting their peaks from 1525-1535 before collectively bailing out
around 1540. The high band never enjoyed its typical propagation advantage this
morning as only 1503-JOUK (poor), 1566-HLAZ (fair-good) and 1575-VOA (fair)
showed up with any audio. On the other hand the low band signals from 603-HLSA
and 657-Pyongyang were the best Asian signals all morning, and 657-Pyongyang's
signal was its strongest of the month. Both stations sounded pretty vibrant on
the C.Crane SWP Slider model (with its relatively good narrow filte!
r audio).
