Perhaps a touch under yesterday morning's strength, and slightly more DU action as well, but at 1340UT, signals seemed to peak, with many channels showing more than one signal. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 594 JOAK man in Japanese

As higher power stations tend to congregate on the lower band in many locations, the lower band often seems to deliver more regular overseas DX here, Carl. However, the "real" DX seems to be on the higher band, on the occasions when the lower power suddenly punch through (the extended band

KPUG-1170 often has a chunk of dead air at the top of the hour. The pips from the powerful Korean can be heard there. Probably you've heard the Japanese on 1440 as well, and NHK1 has been heard on 540. Other channels are a bit more challenging unless you're at the coast. Certainly worth

Thank you - very kind. I am working on raising the production value on these videos -- at some point I am going to RECORD separate high quality audio and add that in - and eliminate the spoken word "at the time" audio - which can be MUFFLED -- and record a stand alone audio channel from the radio

Much the same as yesterday and the day before -- maybe a few DB less than yesterday -- largely Japanese, Korean and a few subdued Chinese stations... I was paying particular attention to 1170 Khz - which is both a "Stateside" domestic channel but also the Asian 9 khz spectrum falls onto this
