Better than yesterday... and still hopping 10 minutes after 7AM. More to follow. 594 and 603 now my favorite proximate pair of frequencies -- listened from 1345 through 1411 Using the Drake R8 with the outdoor Wellbrooks out of curiosity -- and yes, they are beating the barefoot E1 easily.

La Que Buena slogans. I am rather sure this is OH and not GA which is reported as not on by 10watts.com Perhaps some DXers in the Columbus OH and Atlanta GA areas can advise for sure. I haven't spent the time to listen for local mentions or phone numbers since I don't need either pest.

Hi Colin, I enjoyed your recording of 603 and 594 from this morning... those are impressive signals from urban Victoria with just the whip antenna of a barefoot Eton E1! Your reception made me curious as to the level HLSA and JOAK were being heard this morning on my antenna, at the same time (I

Started listening at 1320UT, and wasn't impressed, yet, over time, individual channels would show something interesting. By the end of listening an hour later, a lot of DX had been heard. Perhaps the most intriguing was some pretty good CC signals on 1161 from presumed Taiwan (of course, not
