Default Trans-Pacific MW DX Opening

This morning was an excellent one for signs of TP mediumwave DX, with hets
heard on 29 split frequencies and audio on three channels. John Bryant,
residing to the north of me on Orcas Island, WA, also reports numerous hets
and audio this morning. However, it's very interesting that he did not hear
the three stations below with audio, although he logged 14 other TPs
producing audio from his location (closer to sal****er and further from
bothersome MW powerhouses).

666 JAPAN JOBK NHK1 Osaka, Sep 2 1306 - Weak audio by male announcer in
Japanese; sounded like the end of a newscast. Best on NW Beverage.
(Atkins-WA)

693 UNIDENTIFIED , Sep 2 1314 - Male announcer in unidentified language. I
kept checking back occasionally as local sunrise approached, but the audio
eventually faded down into a het. Best on NW Beverage, so possibly JOAB
Tokyo. (Atkins-WA)

1053 JAPAN JOAR Nagoya, Sep 2 1318 - Noted with male announcer in Japanese;
brief music interlude, and back to announcer. Weak signal, but strongest on
the NW antenna. (Atkins-WA)
