I caught 972 KHz at 1515 UTC and it was not alone— something co-channel... video taped it but haven’t replayed the file. 639 China felt better today than yesterday - if only briefly. Colin Newell - Victoria - B.C. CANADA - > > > 972 HLSA 1539UT; quite a nice secondary peak at 1711UT > >

Still a good Asian morning, but another small step down today, especially on the lower end of the band.  The North Koreans, and most of the Chinese signals disappeared today, but Japan heard on 1503 and 1593, which hadn't been the case the last two mornings. 558    HLQH    Daegu, S.KOREA

I suspect that some of the "second tier" Japanese advantage in Victoria is on the second go round with the SDR files, Gary. A better comparison would be with what Colin hears live with no wideband recording to back him up. Even going through SDR files has rarely dug out Chinese as good as

As usual, the Asian results here in this landlocked valley were far different than those reported by Nick in salt water-enhanced Victoria, with far fewer Japanese but a few different Chinese and Koreans. The glowing Victoria reports from December 17th were the motivation for the soggy
