Hello All,
What seemed like a promising band at 1500 here didn't really manage much
improvement during sunrise enhancement, and the low-band Asians failed to
repeat their vibrant performance of yesterday. The high-band regulars did quite
well, though, as 1566-HLAZ led the way at 1530 with excellent-level Chinese
speech.
Around 1500 both 594-JOAK and 603-HLSA had fair audio in and out (like
yesterday), and 603 had occasional female Chinese speech as well. Unlike
yesterday, though, none of these signals received any boost around sunrise, and
the other low-band Asian mainland stations on 639, 648 and 657 stayed in the
noise. The high band Asians did receive a moderate sunrise boost around 1520,
though, with 1503-JOUK (fair), 1566-HLAZ (excellent), 1575-VOA (good) and
1593-CNR1 (very good) hitting their peaks shortly afterwards. As usual these
high-band regulars faded in and out in short cycles, unlike the slower-cycle
fades on stations like 594-JOAK and 603-HLSA. The low-band signals bailed early
around 1535, leaving only the usual high-band diehards of 1566-HLAZ and
1593-CNR1 with any Asian audio. 1593-CNR1 had a pretty impressive signal this
morning around 1535 in the 1590-Seattle splatter, but nothing close to its
legendary fade-in on January 18th. Overall the band was fairly average for mi!
d-winter, with the high band enjoying its normal propagation edge.
