There was no Asian propagation noted this morning on medium-wave from
Michigan, however North Korea had a booming signal here on 2850 kHz a bit
after local sunrise and perhaps the best I've heard them here, but it
didn't translate down to the MW band for me.
Back at the dials tonight and there
Heads up: according to the Topband list, this morning, 160m hams in
Georgia and Pennsylvania were working Japanese contacts around local
sunrise in the eastern USA.
Here in western Canada, wel, the Iranian jammer on 1575 was heard
about half an hour before my local sunrise, but
Perhapsand you get all the nasty weather also.
On the other side of the continent, no DX, but
some idle leaf raking in 54F sunshine, with light
breezes. More suitable for normal folks indeed. Very bland...

Audio so far on 972, 774 and 1287 from 0900utc. Dangerous time of day though
as audio on 1107 was Spanish … though signal level and expectations made it
take a minute to figure that out!
Hopefully things will improve a bit nearer sunrise.

In Newfoundland, I would say TP's were slightly better today than yesterday,
but it seems like Bill was sucking up all of the signals in Maine before they
got all the way to the Rock. LOL!
At 1000 UTC, 972 was the best. Audio also on 1566, 774, 1134, 1206 and "almost
audio" on several others
Mostly the same as yesterday but weaker and, as Nick Hall-Patch says, more
‘splashy’ from domestics.
Audio on 972, 774, 747 1566, almost audio on 1287, 1107, 1134, and others.

972 was loudest, starting at <1000utc then 1206 [China in Korean] and then the

far this season, as did VOA-1575. On the other hand, the Japanese were

Here's my initial Grayland report from this morning.
Conditions were quite good for the Japanese and Koren stations, which
managed to populate most of the 9 kHz channels this morning. Chinese
were not as numerous as in past DXpeditions, and consisted mainly of the
usual powerhouses like 639

TP conditions today were reasonably good, but were down a bit from the
past couple of days. The low -end NHK stations remained dominant, and
the high end was rather unexciting.

but only in the bottom half of the band, so all was not lost. 576, 594,

I don't think I saw TP reports from Gary, Dennis, or anyone else this
morning. If they listened, their results may have been like mine. I
recorded with the Excalibur again between 1125 and 1405UTC and spent
maybe three minutes reviewing the files. I checked 1566, 774 and 972 -

I truly believe that this is the worst dx season in years because I have moved
to a vastly superior Dx location... That showed some incredible promise weeks
ago...
Before it all tanked...

Conditions improved quite a bit today, with a sterling performance by
the 972 Korean, and cameo appearances by a couple of others. Even so,
reception was limited to a few of the regulars
My recording started at 1125 today, which helped in finding TP activity

It was another decidedly mediocre morning for TPs. HLAZ was the only
one that woke up today. A few others muttered incoherently, rolled
over, and went back to sleep.

Rick - no I won't be at the convention, even though it sounds like fun.
I believe there will be one or two northwesterners there.

Conditions were decidedly lackluster this morning. Except for

Gary and I were obviously DXing on different planets today, even though
our mailing addresses are only 30 miles apart. There was no generous
low-band enhancement around here, I'm sorry to say.
My morning was pretty much a repeat of yesterday. A handful of signals
were sort of OK, and a few
This was my first serious DX session of the season, and the results were
interesting. A few of the usual suspects showed up with audio, some
good and some barely there.
I was impressed by the sheer number of TP carriers I could see on the

This morning I decided to set up the SDR to check for TPs. The results
weren't bad for August.
Most of the action took place 1215-1240 UTC. 972 Korea had decent audio
at times; I could have understood some of it if I spoke Korean.
HLAZ-1566 was somewhat OK with music and female talk.
Not a bad morning, but not a great one. I was limited mainly to the
usual NHK and Korean stations, with no big surprises.
