Hello All, Asian conditions this morning were similar to yesterday's, exceptfor 603-China temporarily pounding in at an S9 level around 1411 (its strongestsignal ever here, in 7 years of TP-DXing).

Very nice catch. How are you IDing these? I'm finding the Moroccans harder than average to ID. --

Rob, Congralulations on bagging another new one for the ULR logbook. It's great to see you back at the AM dial after the summer season. I'm hoping you will add a bunch more as the fall DX season

Hello All, As Dennis and Bruce have reported, Asian conditions were favorable thismorning, with many second-tier TP's managing energetic audio for the first timethis season. In addition to powerful

Hi Guys: After a long layoff and even longer drought, I have finally added a New Station to the ULR Log. Through the night I noticed that my Local CJBK, on 1290 Khz was unusually weak and I was able
