Hi Nick,
The TP reception here this morning was similar to your description, although
there was more of a sunrise lift here.
As you noticed, the band was mediocre at 1410 with only a few of the big guns
around. Around 1500 things were still pretty subdued overall, but 972-HLCA was
coming in
Hello All,
It was a pretty strange TP-DXing morning here, with the band showing that it
still has some surprises for those die-hards who stick around until all the
Asian signals collapse. At 1410 the band showed promise, with decent signals
from the big guns on 594, 828, 972 and 1566, as
That was quite a little post-sunrise enhancement this morning, as noted
by Gary,
and also, somewhat less, by me.

mornings Gary? It's been MIA for me, but you hear it better than I do.
Well, it has been MIA for me, too, Nick (at least during these January sunrise
sessions). Inspired by your PEI DXpedition success receiving TP's
Hello All,
Like Nick has already reported, this morning's TP session was nowhere near as
dramatic as yesterday's. The Asian results here generally follwed Nick's
script, except for a vibrant signal from 972-HLCA that rose up out of nowhere
around 1545. The band sounded dreary during brief

Although the recent TP-DX season has generally featured weaker signals (and
less exotic DX) than the exciting years of 2009 and 2010, there were some
interesting exceptions. Four Asiatic mainland TP's managed their best signals

Hello All,
Despite some promising carriers around 1410 UTC (on 594, 828 and 972), mediocre

Thanks for your impressions, Walt. Yes, this TP season seems unusual by

Hello All,
As Richard, Bill, Walt and Dennis have already reported, it was a pretty

monster levels.

Hello All,
In comparison to yesterday Asian TP signal strength was generally down this

A heterodyne was audible on 828 kHz at 1318-1323 and a barely audible signal
was heard

As both Bill and Nick have reported this morning's sunrise TP-DXing session was
