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 was nice to hear a lot of audio, and not just from the lower half of the band. SF was a surprising 140, A (12:00) 3, and K of 1. I'll adopt a similar rating scale to Nick and Bruce to make comparisons more simple:
Pretty good audio: VOA Thailand 1575 at 14:12, and still pretty good at 14:40, 774: JOUB, the best of the JJ NHK2 stations, although 828 JOBB was pretty decent too. 594: JOAK 567: JOIK 890 (not TP, but interesting): CJDC Dawson Creek, BC with ID at 14:00 "Just a stone's throw away from the Mile 0 marker" 930: KTKN Ketchikan, pounding in. 945: CNRI at 14:32 972: HLCA: really strong, and continuing well past 08:00 AM local 1287: JOHR at 14:19 1323: CRI in Russian at 14:11 1575: VOA just kept going and going. Not so reasonable audio: 558 with time pips at 14:00 747: JOIB 891: ?JOHK at 14:03 963: CRI in Russian 1017: CRI at 14:00, and better at 14:29 1566: HLAZ Burbles in the splatter: 819, 864, 936, 1269 73 to all!
