Hello All, Asian results here this morning seemed somewhat better than Bruce's version, although vibrant audio was still limited to the Japanese big guns. A fairly potent sunrise enhancement boost late in the session brought 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB up to respectable levels, while 747-JOIB and 774-JOUB had similar strength in the domestic splatter. Once again the predawn conditions were dreary, with only 594-JOAK and 693-JOAB managing poor audio in and out prior to 1315. Increasing daylight around 1330 gave all the low-band NHK big guns a boost, although early in sunrise enhancement only 603-HLSA (poor), 657-Pyongyang (poor to fair) and a presumed 738-BEL2 (poor) had any audio from outside of Japan. 972-HLCA and the 1053-Jammer finally showed up late in sunrise enhancement around 1355 with fair signals, but they never reached their typical levels this morning. The Japanese totally dominated the session, with 594-JOAK, 693-JOAB, 747-JOIB and 774-JOUB all receiving a late propagation boost around 1355 to hit good strength. 594-JOAK was the best of the bunch, managing very good signals briefly with bizarre amateur signing around 1357. Except for the NHK big guns the session was pretty dreary, however, with nothing remotely exotic showing up. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Amateur signing practice by bizarre female vocalist (along with male commentary) at very good level briefly at 1357; best Asian signal of the morning http://www.mediafire.com/listen/nfh9mm02lcwltcf/594-JOAK-1357z100414PL380.MP3 693 JOAB Tokyo, Japan Japanese male storyteller at a good level around 1347; completely free of CBU splatter with one of its best signals this season http://www.mediafire.com/listen/vnnv0ih3kfe9azq/693-JOAB-1347z100414PL380.MP3 972 HLCA Dangjin, S.
