As reported earlier another exceptional Chinese propagation wave hit the low band this morning, producing the best-ever signals here from 603-China (Hulun Buir?) and 639-CNR1 during sunrise enhancement. The pre-sunrise boost raised up quite a few other obscure Chinese, and was even more potent than the one two days ago (which managed to inspire Nick's report of legendary length).
A routine band check at the bizarre hour of 1220 revealed Chinese-dominated mixes on both 603 and 657, which is highly unusual in the predawn darkness. 603-China dominated HLSA at an S5 level until around 1410, when the Korean station temporarily took over for a short period only to be buried again as daylight increased. 657-China (Henan?) held off Pyongyang BS' martial music until around 1400, but lost out after that, and never reached its strength of two days ago. 639-CNR1 came out of nowhere during sunrise enhancement to blast in at an S9 level around 1450 (managing its best-ever signal here by quite a wide margin). while weaker Chinese signals on 756 and 936 came into play along with others (which didn't get much FSL time before propagation tanked around 1515). Altogether it was another wild and wacky session-- which I'm sure will inspire Nick to write up another legendary report. 603 China (Hulun Buir?)
