Nick can probably look forward (?) to another lengthy TP-DX report after this morning's session, which featured potent signals from Korea during antenna testing around daybreak on 603, 657 and 972. But instead of Victoria's diverse propagation from both Asia and the South Pacific, the lackluster Puyallup version mainly featured the "booby prize" this morning-- 657-Pyongyang. The wacky station had one of its best signals of the entire winter around 1405, dominating over a trace of China with its typical (weird) female vocal music.
603-HLSA also was pushing S9 with far more pleasant female pop music at 1418, while 972-HLCA was in and out at the same level around daybreak. Pyongyang BS once again seemed to be scared off by the daylight here, with its 3+1 pips barely audible at 1430. The trace of 657-China also bailed around the same time, while the weak Chinese signals on 639 and 738 never seemed to build up any real steam. Overall it was a pretty interesting session, with the Korean stations sounding particularly potent. 603 HLSA Namyang, S.
