A gentle return to Asiatic DX conditions after a few days of relatively little of it. The giants like 1098 RTI, 1557 RTI and 1566 HLAZ have still been received on a daily basis, with poor signals, but they returned to reasonable strength this afternoon.
One thing I have not really tried from here much is tropical band DXing. Given the decent Asiatic conditions on MW I thought I should look for Asia at the low end of shortwave. I was pleasantly surprised to receive the three domestic Australians, which even showed a little improvement an hour or so after I logged them.
I wonder if the old RRI stations are still active in the 120, 90 and 75 metre bands. I have never heard Indonesia so it would be great to catch these stations if I can. I understand that a lot of these stations have left the tropical bands now, sadly.
I noticed a lot of beacons across MW when I first moved my flag to 15 degrees. I thought I would start to note them in my log. There are others but conditions must have changed as they weren't audible today. From memory, 650 and 680 were two of them but they were not present today. I forget the other frequencies.
Good DX!
