Night 31m logs, March 2
 

I woke up at around 3:30 am local time so I decided to do some real
DXing for the first time in a year or more. I chose the 31m band because
it seems to have better reception during darkness hours. Comments at
bottom.

Comments:

I'm not sure on the ID of 9750-Radio Japan is on at the same time.

Indonesia was playing some beautiful Indonesian music when I tuned in.
This is my first log of Indonesia.

Isn't University Network one of Gene Scott's stations?

The two stations on 9560 were almost equal strength at my location.

Thanks. Passport doesn't indicate what language this is in, just
"other". I usually can't tell one Asian language from another. European
languages I'm pretty good at, especially the major ones, but with Asians
I can tell "Chinese" from "non Chinese" and that's it. :) Reception was
fairly good here on West Coast USA. I noticed the absence of jamming,
which I thought odd, but sometimes the Chinese jammer covers up the
signal and sometimes the jammer is weak. Depends on frequency, as far as
I can tell. What does 1200 UTC equate to in local time for Saipan?

That's 2200 local! We're UTC +10 here. And just for the record, it's
a breezy 80+ degrees F here too! LOL
