Well, they were predicting a geomagnetic upset. But, not yet. Still pretty lively this morning. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB 1422UT 1575 VoA powering in at 1439UT with man in Burmese per announcement at 1430UT;

Further sedate conditions before sunrise today, although there were quite a lot of carriers near audio, that at some point might have briefly been in audio. The second tier stations today were Chinese and Taiwanese rather than Japanese for the most part. As Bruce points out, conditions seem

Didn't get a chance to post any results yesterday, ( and today was a victim of equipment/operator error) , but as Nick notes it was a morning above the recent average. Here is Alberta the low band wasn't doing a lot, just the big guns from Japan with so-so signals, but the upper band was

Definitely more than met the ear today. After 1400UT, several channels had at least two stations on them, most weak, lots of carriers, many that turned out to have bits of audio if one listened to them long enough. Oddly, the big guns didn't often deliver big audio. Would have been a fairly

Possibly there was more than I dug out this morning. Was fairly lively after 1200UT, but most of the better signals were 1330 to 1350UT. A couple of less usual ones among the big guns. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 747 JOIB

Back to the doldrums for sure, but I also started recording earlier, and 1230-1245UT was pretty vigorous, then a drop off in signal strength, followed by a further drop off after 1330UT, with a brief revival of the old predictables just after 1400UT pretty darn good audio (all of it

Another interesting morning, pretty hot around 1200UT, though mostly the regulars, varying signals after that, though never really dead, finishing off with CNR1-945 well after local sunrise. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 774 JOUB

Another dreadful morning, unless you wanted to listen to Thailand on 1575, in which case, it was a wonderful morning, with strong steady signal from 1350 to after 1430UT even keeping pace with the local intermittent electrical noise, with a nice fat VoA EE ID at 1430UT announcing Burmese to
