Flipped on the radio after reading your and George's post, and indeed lots of promising carriers. And, as George observed, Arabic audio on 1251. Very unusual they'd be at audio level here before anyone else.1377 also reached audio briefly, but nobody else yet. 73, Nigel Pimblett

A fairly audible het on 1566 kHz this evening, from Cortes Island, first noted around 0455UT using a northerly Flag antenna. We'll see if Walt Salmaniw hears something better from his more northerly vacation location... best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch

The 1566 carrier faded out rapidly between 0525 and 0532UT, after having been pretty consistent for the past half hour. Benin sunrise is at 0524UT, rather incredible given that this is pretty much the shortest night of the year. best wishes, Nick * Nick

A very faintly audible het on 1566 kHz this evening, first noted around 0450UT; with the assistance of Spectran, it seems to be very close to 1566., but somewhat smeared, as if there's a bit of Doppler shift, so I need to average the readings. There was also something on 783, only visible

Still about one half hour until local sunset here, but have had audio traces on 1134 and 1215, and a good number of mostly weak carriers. Stronger carriers on 756, 954, 1008, 1287 and 1494, but fading is quite erratic. best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch

not earth shattering, but traces of audio on 1215 just after 0100, a number of weak carriers, and a few stronger ones: 837, 882, 1089, 1377 and 1575. (tried for Greenland on 720, hi, but will have to settle for WGN I think) best wishes, Nick * Nick Hall-Patch
