Things were pretty moribund my way around 14:00, although 774 was there,
but with lots of domestic splatter. Overall, not a great morning for

overnight emails, so by 14:25 Japan was in well with 747, and 828 both well
heard. Interesting that the usually strong 774 was not doing well. Also

Happened to turn on the radio after returning from an overnight delivery.

stations. 891 was also very strong, but I didn't wait around long enough
to ID
I can believe it, Richard. Checked the dials at 7:44 AM local (15:44 UTC)
with the sun streaming through the windows, and there's 774 streaming in

You got that right, Gary! As we get older, it's SO much nicer sitting in
the vehicle happily dialing away with the roof mounted FSL! Time does fly
when you're having fun. I recall virtually DXing around the clock in
Masset in the dead of winter. Heck, who has time to eat when the DX keeps
Pretty decent conditions listening between 14:55 and 15:15 UTC. The upper
band especially was nice with 1566, and 1593 in well. 1494 also decent and

improving now (at 15:23) to fair/good with inspirational and piano music,
A long way from audibility, thoughWalt (at 01:16 UTC)

Sorry to be a bit off-topic, but perhaps some of you would be
interested in my FM observations here on Rarotonga:
FM Bandscan from the Cook Islands
Having spent a bit of time on MW and SW, I decided to play a bit with
FM and see what was available on the islands. I monitored things on

Thanks for that explanation, Don. Makes perfect sense, especially
since I was looking at the airport from the hill top! 73, Walt.
PS: No luck for the LW NDB since my radio doesn't cover LW
