Hello All,
Asian results this morning were kind of a watered down version of yesterday,
with many of the same TP's showing up, but at weaker levels. Whereas peak Asian
propagation yesterday seemed to be from 1300-1345 during predawn darkness, this
morning's best signals appeared after a moderate sunrise enhancement boost
kicked in around 1400.
Like yesterday the band had some fair propagation prior to 1300, with 594-JOAK,
603-HLSA, 693-JOAB, 738-BEL2, 774-JOUB and 972-HLCA all in and out with fair
signals around 1255 (along with 1566-HLAZ, with a very good signal).
Unfortunately, except for the NHK big guns on 594, 693 and 774 the low band
TP's seemed to be stuck at the same fair level throughout the entire session,
rising in and out of the noise without much energy. Sunrise enhancement after
1400 brought in five more Asian mainland stations to join this anemic
collection-- 603-China (usually under HLSA), 639-CNR1, 648-Russia,
657-Pyongyang and 936-Anhui. None of these stations were very vibrant (like
several TP's were yesterday), but 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB, 747-JOIB, 774-JOUB and
972-HLCA all hit fairly good peaks briefly between 1400-1420. With the
exception of 1566-HLAZ's very good signal (around 1255) the high band was also
didn't seem to have much energy, with 1377-CNR1, 1503-JOUK, 1575-VOA and
1593-CNR1 showing !
up occasionally in the domestic splatter, but only reaching fair levels at
best. Best signal of the morning was from 1566-HLAZ during the predawn darkness
at 1255, although both 594-JOAK and 972-HLCA had brief peaks of good audio
around 1400 as well. If not for yesterday's superb session this morning's Asian
propagation might have seemed pretty decent, but unfortunately it paled by
comparison.
