Hello All, Congratulations to Richard in Oklahoma for his reception of 594-JOAK on his PL-310 and 8" FSL-- always an excellent accomplishment so far inland. The low band Asians also roared back to life here this morning as a potent sunrise enhancement boost raised both 594-JOAK and 603-HLSA up to very good peaks around 1435. The middle and high band Asians seemed to be overlooked somewhat in the recovery from yesterday's doldrums, however. At my 1420 start time the low band was already at potent levels, with 594, 603 and 693 all having good audio in and out. These continued to build up strength as daylight increased prior to 1430, with 657-Pyongyang also coming out of the noise to reach a fair level in and out. 603-HLSA hit its peak stride around 1435 with very good level Korean pop music // a fair level 558, while 594-JOAK was equally vibrant with male-female Japanese conversation. Besides the low band regulars the NHK big guns on 747, 774 and 828 managed brief good levels in and out during peak sunrise enhancement around 1440, but the middle and high band Asian big guns on 972, 1134, 1566 and 1593 stayed at poor to fair levels. 1566-HLAZ and 1593-CNR1 were hitting fair peaks at my 1415 start time but fizzled somewhat as daylight increased, while 1503 and 1575 were pretty much missing in action throughout the session. Increasing daylight caused everything to fizzle by 1450, with the NHK diehards on 594 and 693 the last to sink under. Overall it was definitely a low band morning, with 594 and 603 equaling their best signals of 2015 so far. 594 JOAK Tokyo, Japan Male Japanese speech and interval music at very good level around 1435 http://www.mediafire.com/listen/xpstvsls6hc959y/594-JOAK-1435z022615CCSW.MP3 603 HLSA Namyang, S.
