So far tonight several people have joined us in the StarChat #mwdx chat

COME JOIN THE FUN and talk about your catches with DXers on the opposite

We will be here Saturday Evening and Sunday Morning.

Got up a little late today at 1402 ut so I did not have much time but I found
that conditions were up from yesterday. Lots of carriers on the bottom and top
part of the band. Audio on 279, 558, 594, 747, 774, 828, 972 and 1566.

This morning (11/7), we tried for Trans-pacific stations, and had a
flurry of exciting activity right around dawn (Details will come later).
Audio was heard on at least two channels, but not strong enough to be
100% identifiable - 747 (Japan) and 1134 (South Korea or Japan).
Carriers were seen

Today seemed rather mediocre, but I think that's mostly because it
suffered in comparison with yesterday's excellent conditions. On
reflection, it was still not a bad morning.648 was again doing well,

I was at the dial from 1450 until I quit for breakfast at 1525, with
things still going fairly well. LSR=1505 or so.
It was a very good late season opening with 50 or 60 in some form of
audio, from bottom of the band to the top. Most were the usuial
suspects at greater or lesser strength

If the mideast is coming in, Iran is the most likely on 1503. If
