Conditions below 1000 kHz were good today, with lots of second tier
stations. Most were from Japan, but a few Korean and Chinese signals
were there as well.
There wasn't much to be heard above 1200. Even HLAZ struggled. The one
exception was CRI-1323 which had a blowtorch signal that almost
penetrated some very high electrical noise (which fortunately wasn't
heard elsewhere on the dial).
