** Personal First

This evening brought one of the best Asiatic sessions I can remember! Three clear Japanese stations, plus monstrous signals from South Koreans 972 HLCA, 1170 HLSR and 1566 HLAZ.

There were lots of unidentified Oriental signals too. I have an idea what some of these are, but until I hear an ID I will leave them alone. It's quite clear there are other Japanese stations in there.

Good DX!
