After three terrible mornings, today was only bad, so an improvement.
Finally heard audio again from Japan on 693 and 774, though weak. Best
signals were actually around 1300, and then they slid from there. Nearer
to sunrise the DU carriers seemed to dominate, and I had traces of audio

To me it sounded surprisingly more Parisian than Creole. That was my first
impression when I heard the Radio Diffusion bit. Okay. Maybe I'm
exaggerating. But a rather light Creole accent; I don't know what French sounds
like In Guadeloupe et al...
Anyhow, I'm not surprised Bruce was able to
Hello All,
There must have been some happy DXers this morning as Asian signals improved
quite a bit, with a generous sunrise enhancement that continued until 1450
here. The NHK big guns on 594, 693, 747, 774 and 828 were all very strong at
times during the 1300-1450 listening session,
You are welcome, Saul. Bruce also reported it on the Facebook Group DXing -

Swearingen a few months ago. Yikes, we have so many different lists for

Gary's already checked in, and yes, it was a better morning, plus
lots of unID carriers, and lasted a long time too. Snippets of audio
up until 1545UT or so. But conditions were still up and down, not
being able to find a parallel for 828 a half hour before local
sunrise isn't ideal.
As others have posted, reception wasn't too shabby this morning, in
Victoria, BC. What was most impressive, was the staying power of several
stations well past 8:00 AM local, including VOA on 1575 and 972 HLCA. I
didn't think the first tier JJ stations were particularly strong this
morning. It

Have you tried those ferrite doughnuts you clamp around any cables coming into
or out of the interference generating device? I think they call them RF chokes.
I ordered a small bag of them from one of the online electronics dealers, put
them on every device I could think of in my house,
My router caused all sorts of noise problems. Replacing the switched-mode
power supply with a linear one cured it completely.

How late did you listen today? I'm curious as to whether maybe the

Well, this morning I gave a final check at 1500UT, but even the big guns like
