Hello All, What started out as a miserable session in the predawn darkness was
rescued somewhat by a late sunrise enhancement boost, which brought a couple of
big gun Asians out of the noise up to a respectable level. One of them even
managed to peg the PL-380 S/N briefly, in one of the strangest comebacks in
recent memory. The band was dreary indeed during the predawn darkness from
1250-1315, with only 738 (presumed BEL2) and 936 (presumed Anhui) flirting with
audio in a halfhearted way. Around 1320 there were weak signs of life from
594-JOAK, 603-HLSA, 747-JOIB and 972-HLCA, although none of them could sustain
their poor audio for more than a few seconds at a time. It was looking like the
first day of October might be a real clunker, when increasing sunlight around
1345 suddenly brought both 747-JOIB (with NHK2 Chinese lessons) and 972-HLCA
(with a Korean radio drama) out of the noise up to a good level. 747-JOIB
stayed at that level fighting the Portland splatter for the rest of sunrise
enhancement, but 972-HLCA just kept getting stronger, finally pegging the
PL-380 S/N display briefly around 1352. Other than these two diehards
657-Pyongyang and the 1053-Jammer also got some minor benefit from the late
Korean propagation surge, reaching fair audio in and out before t he band
collapsed around 1400. Best Asian audio of the morning (excellent) was from
972-HLCA around 1352-- which had been comatose for 90% of the session before
its late comeback. To put things in perspective, though, only a few big gun
Asians showed up with any kind of life this morning, and nothing remotely
exotic. 972 HLCA Dangjin, S. Korea Korean female-male speech and music at
