This morning was another good one for dawn enhancement of trans-Pacific
signals. From 1325-1405, I noted ten split-frequencies in with audio, and
numerous hets. All but two stations in audio were in the lower half of the
band.

Two intercepts were worth logging:

738 CHINA Hunan PBS, Sep 25 1355 - Female announcer in Chinese, with generic
'Zhongyang Renmin Guangbo Diantai' ID noted at 1400, and found parallel 4990
shortly thereafter. Fair to good signal. (Atkins-WA)

747 JAPAN JOIB Sapporo NHK2, Sep 25 1345 - Male and Female announcers with
amusing English lessons: 'Don't call me a computer geek; I read several
social magazines, too!' Good signal level during peaks. JOIB also heard
yesterday Sep 24 at a good level. (Atkins-WA)

Those are nice catches. I imagine that trans-Pacific DX is easier to catch
from where you are than from where I am (Minnesota). Despite many hours of
trying, I've never caught a far-east MW station yet. I have gotten some from
as far north as the Yukon and some from the southern Caribbean here, but
none from the Pacific Rim.

Thanks for the reports!
