Shogun, here in Sactown this morn, Radio Australia's 9.590 mhz signal from
Shepparton was kind of weak. But Auntie Beeb's 9.740 mhz Asia feed from
Singapore was relatively strong, as was Radio Netherland's 12.080 mhz
Madagascar relay. Even Radio France International's 11.615 mhz Africa feed from
Issoudon-Allouis decided to settle in as well. Mayhap those propogational gods
are assuaging their ionospheric wrath!

Here in California - Yesterday evening was great as well - Sri Lanka
on 9770 around 0100 was there with older EE pop music, and
RN/Madagascar, BBC/Singapore and RAI/Caltanisetta-Rome were all there
solid (in fact, Italy has never sounded better here). I am amazed how
consistently and solidly RNs Madagascar signal reaches my antenna, on
most any frequency, at most any time - from 11,000 miles away! Now,
for their 9345 Tashkent relay at 1400...

I wish those E. Europeans could get their signals here a bit better!
Prague, Budapest and Bucharest have never sounded decent at my QTH.
OTOH, the Lhasa (Tibet/China) outlets on 60m sounded fabulous here
this morning about 1500.
