There I was at 10PM local time, concentrating on 774 hoping for
Spain, probably... heck, it was 3:00PM in Tokyo... As I concentrated
on the murmur, it began to rise and I was "listening in my best
Mexican Spanish," while not forgetting a big Hungarian and a Morrocan
station co-channel, and then my aging brain sez.... naw, that isn't
Japanese (I used to be fairly fluent.) And then I heard unmistakable
JJ words... whole bunches of them.... entire sentences of
them! Isn't winter DXing wonderful, especially this far North? I'll
be heading back to the South Prairie after Thanksgiving and I will
miss this! In this instance, I went to bed!
This morning, my first sweep was at 1425, about 40 minutes before
LSR. I quit about an hour later. It was a low-average late season
morning, with all of the strongest JJs, KKs and even CCs.... except
HLAZ-1566 which was just a nubbin of a carrier. There was a post-dawn
boost, though largely of the stronger Chinese. The Echo on 918
(Shangdung) was back to at least three transmitters this morning and
639 CNR1 was walking tall. The big news of the morning was that I had
CNR1 with an echo on 1359.... there are a bazillion 1 and 10 kW
transmitters there.... I'd only heard this frequency at Grayland
once this year, and never here.
So, I learned several more things... all useless, but interesting.
