Hello All,
Like Dennis reported, Asian DX seemed to be somewhat affected by the Artic deep
freeze this morning, but at least one low band frequency had some interesting
action.
The back yard was even colder than yesterday (12 degrees), so to avoid radio
freezing issues, sessions were limited to 15 minutes each (1420-1435, 1450-1505
and 1520-1535). Around 1430 the only Asians with audio were 603-HLSA
(poor-fair), 1566-HLAZ (fair) and 1575-VOA (fair), although 594-JOAK was in and
out at a threshold level. As daylight approached (around 1455) 603-HLSA got a
moderate boost, and was joined by its usual Chinese co-channel (Hulun Buir?),
both of them having fair-good signals in and out around the 1500 TOH. Sunrise
enhancement didn't do anything for the high band Asians, with both 1566-HLAZ
and 1575-VOA staying at a fairly anemic level. The only unusual aspect of the
morning was the staying power of 603-HLSA and China, which kept up their
competition (at a weak level) until 1535, long after all the other Asians had
bailed. Except for this one frequency, the rest of the band seemed rather
frozen this morning.
