It was a better morning for sleeping late than listening for TP signals here. The only significant signal was a het on 702 (possibly 2BL) from the WSW. It was heard from 1207 until complete silence at 1227. It was strongest immediately following local sunrise at 1210. Receiver: PL-310

Hi All, A couple of years ago, I purchased the basic version of GeoClock to get more maps than the demo version. It worked well until recently, after changing my Vista laptop with a Win 7 machine. I went trough the registering processas it should and I entered my license key. Now, the

It's literally a one man operation, so there may be response delays. I have no experience with the OS changes you describe as I'm still running XP, although I'll have to move to 7 next year. GeoClock has a version for Win7, and maybe that's the difference. I am not aware of anything like

Here in Alberta, Asian signals suffered took a further decline today, with only the big Japanese outlets, along with Korea on 1566 and VOA 1575 reaching audio. 594 was a bit of an anomaly, as the signal was stronger than the past couple of days. 693 was comparable to yesterday, while

Today was the best of the four days I've tried so far this season. There were lots of carriers, and lots of channels with audio. Some of the higher-powered NHK stations were making decent appearances. Most of the good stuff was below 1100. The high end of the dial was, once again, quiet.

While none of them are anywhere near audio, there are a number of TA carriers audible tonight. They tend to pop up and down quite quickly, but a quick scan at 0340 showed carriers on: 675, 855, 954, 999, 1107, 1215, 1296, 1422, 1566 1584. 1215 and 999 are the best of the bunch. 73, Nigel
