Don't quite know where to start this morning. Upper band was best, mostly. Not sure listing audios and relative levels really is significant, as fades meant that something that was only a carrier might be delivering two fair audios a moment later, 1134 being an example with JJ / KK mix at

Patrick,, As I stated years ago, there is a ridge of mountains that extend up the east coast of Luzon Island. These block low-angle takeoff skywave, and this is why one doesn't hear the Metro-Manila stations as commonly as one would expect. It works the other way. They block low-angle skywave
