As others have reported, there was a halfhearted Asiatic TP recovery this morning, but those who stayed in bed probably didn't miss much. The Japanese and Korean big guns on 594, 693, 774, 972 and 1053 managed to fade in and out with poor to fair audio around 1315, then were joined by 1575-VOA during a very mediocre sunrise enhancement period. None of the Asiatic TP's sounded very vibrant, and after reaching audio for a few seconds they typically dived back down in the noise. In this DU-dead zone there was no hope of any NZ action like what Nick reported, but 738-Tahiti did show up with its usual anemic French audio around 1405. Overall the session was dreary-- but at least a slight improvement over yesterday.
