They frequently do well, even dominate, down here in St. Louis. Always atop a jumble. A far cry from the old days when, after CBE went off at 1 AM Eastern, you could hear bits and pieces of classical music many nights from KKHI, practically the only thing on the channel (San Francisco).

Hello All, There was somewhat of an improvement in Asian signal strength here this morning, although it seemed to benefit the Asian mainland stations at the expense of the Japanese big guns. Despite the improvement the Korean and Chinese signals still didn't quite reach the levels of

Paul is correct. Current NRC Log has: 1550 CBEF Windsor ON U3 1 1000 FF:VAR-Cf-NSP--La Premiere Chaine 1550 AM/103.1 FM I guess they moved from 540 to 1550 to fill the gap created by CBE's move to FM. Marc DeLorenzo South Dennis, Cape Cod, Massachusetts

1640 WQDY411 Strongsville OH listed at 10w. Coming in with a mix of TIS-HAR-NOAAs and enabled by the WI Disney's absence. Hearing 440-238-5530 number which checks to the local chamber of commerce, and others. Seems to have a TIS and public service slant, as opposed to weather or highway info.

Nothing to report from my location in Victoria, BC this morning. Found a fault in my West Corner fed loop in the 16:1 matching transformer. The outer (coax braid) had come off, and the result was a dead TP band, though Nick's DX Fishbarrel had decent conditions. All back to normal now.

Mostly top tier, and erratic, but there were a few odd ones in sifting through the recordings. Also, peak strengths were better than yesterday. As Dennis noted, some like JOUB and HLAZ hung around late, though here, not much later than 1540UT, per the recording. pretty darn good audio
