Hello All,
This morning's TP-DXing session featured a potent sunrise enhancement boost on
the low band here, raising up the signal from 603-HLSA to a huge level shortly
after the 1400 TOH (along with its weaker Chinese co-channel). Low band
Japanese and Asian mainland stations both benefited from the boost, something
similar to a mid-October sunrise enhancement.
The session started off in ordinary fashion just after 1300 with the typical
low and high band Asians managing fair signals in and out-- 594-JOAK, 603-HLSA,
693-JOAB and 738-BEL2 on the low band, and 1566-HLAZ, 1575-VOA and 1593-CNR1 on
the high band. These regulars rotated in and out without any special strength
until around 1350, when 594-JOAK began to receive a potent boost with the first
hint of daylight, reaching very good audio around 1355. The same boost also
raised up the signal of 531-JOQG to a fair level, and brought 558-HLQH out of
the noise as well. 603-HLSA had been in and out of the noise with fair audio
for about an hour prior to 1400, but its signal received a dramatic boost at
this time, so that the 1400 TOH (with the usual female KBS ID, but with an
unusual, no-pip time signal (

was at good strength. HLSA continued to get stronger yet, reaching an excellent
level at 1405 with the!
usual deep-voiced male Korean DJ at potent strength over the usual female
Chinese co-channel. 639-CNR1, 648-Russia and 657-Pyongyang also received a
decent daylight boost, with all of them reaching fair to good audio about the
same time as 603-HLSA's romp (peaking around 1405). A brief check of the high
band at the same time revealed some good audio on 1566-HLAZ and 1593-CNR1,
along with fair audio from 1503-JOUK and 1575-VOA. The low band romp lasted
until around 1420, when all of the signals except 594-JOAK started to dive into
the noise. On the high band 1575-VOA stuck it out until about 1435 as the last
Asian survivor of a pretty memorable session. Best signal of the morning was
from 603-HLSA, reaching one of its strongest levels ever observed in 7 years of
TP-DXing.
