This was an excellent morning for TP's here. There were many Japanese
stations audible at the low end of the band, plus several mid-band
Chinese. The upper part of the dial was near empty of Asians, except
for a rather anemic HLAZ.
Signals seemed to peak between 1350 and 1410 today, but a few stayed
around until 1500. JOIB and JOUB were still there for their 1500 sign
offs, and JOHR lasted almost as long.
