No argument there was a sunrise enhancement today, but not enough for top quality audio. In fact, you might say it existed in comparison to poorer earlier Asiatic conditions than yesterday had (though there were DU's earlier).Fading was erratic enough that I may have missed some audio on one or two of the strong carriers. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): not quite enough of an enhancement Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling w/splash or noise): 747 JOIB man in JJ woman in EE 1416UT //828 828 JOBB woman in JJ 1402UT T not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK man in JJ 1419UT 612 4QR woman w/ ABC nx 1401UT 738 Tahiti likely, island mx 1230UT, pop mx 1330UT 774 3LO likely?
