1242 Tokyo was missing as was Pyongyang on 657 and 873, AFN The Eagle on 810 from Tokyo was briefly listenable but 1575 The Eagle from Misawa was totally absent. But I still had some interesting results, despite a crap ton of atmospheric noise. The most interesting one was 729ABC 5RN Brisbane getting wiped out and buried by an Asian. Whenever I've had 729 in the morning, it's always been 729ABC Brisbane, sometimes strong, sometimes not. .but always them. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RpFylHsGGW0 1206 was in kinda weak with that repeating loop of Silent Night. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtyVU2KEI3A 1134 KBS Hamminjok 2 Radio was about the strongest, signal wise.. with music. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=60HCHlsoIdM 1188 was pretty good too, not quite as strong as 1134 KBS but there wasn't as much noise. I happened to catch the top of hour station ID on JOKP/NHK Radio into the NHK Newsdesk. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vzPjr8j1M8 1314 was in fairly well with some music.

W1440 Oldies, CKHR Westaskawin, Alberta with 10kw Non Directional Day and 3 towers at night. There are my constant, daily visitor on 1440khz. They might be weak, and sometimes, like today, they're strong. But I don't usually hear them in the morning, just at night. Audio: http://www.onairdj.com/W1440Oldies121120161904UTC.mp3 I had a pretty strong 1548 4QD Emerald, QLD. I've had it before, but it's not usually very strong. Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11UwMyi_XI8 1566 HLAZ with it's 250KW and 6 towers was a bit fadey, which isn't usual here. It's usually pretty strong, solid and steady. Today, as usual when I catch it, it's a man talking in Russian.
