More of the best on medium wave

The following loggings represent the latest from our prime AM DXer Patrick Martin. Thanks!

Greetings,

This morning was not a repeat of yesterday morning. That is for sure! I
am typing this at 1535 and yesterday at this time the dial was wild.
This morning, most of the DX has faded out.
This morning I got up at 1430, a half hour earlier and found a few
signals, but nothing too exciting at that time, but DX did improve,
Filipino-wise. The highlights were the Filipinos that were not in
yesterday.

531 PHILIPPINES, man talking in Tagalog and EE mentioning in an
interview "Employers and employees" at 1514 10/24. Three Filipinos
listed, DXGH Gen. Santos City (5 KW), DYDW Tacloban City (10 KW), and
DZBR Batangas City (5 KW). DXBR has been logged here before back in the
80s. (PM-OR)

612 PHILIPPINES, Cebu City DYHP, fairly good, the first thing I
heard at 1432 10/24 after getting up, man in Tagalog. (PM-OR)

729 CHINA, Jiangxi, Nanchang, good with ending mx going into pips at
1459.54, opening mx and woman in Mandarin CC 10/24. (PM-OR)

936 CHINA, Anhui good with man & woman in EE/CC with news at 1502
10/24. (PM-OR)

945 CHINA, CNR 1 good with man in Mandarin cc // 981 at 1510 10/24
(PM-OR)

981 CHINA, CNR 1 good with man in Mandarin CC //945 1510 10/24
(PM-OR)

t1008 PHILIPPINES, San Jose, DXXX, commercial station, sounded like
ancr mentioned "RPN" (Radio Phil. Network) at 1507 10/24. (PM-OR)

1125 PHILIPPINES, Davao City DXGM, good for a time with man ancr in
Tagalog mentioning Davao City at 1519 10/24. Gave Davao City phone
numbers. (PM-OR)

I might mention that the DX on the WNW EWE was much poorer. I would
guess the signals this morning were more of a Southern pattern.
