1129z, Radio Nikkei 1, 3925, 6055 & 9595 kHz - Coming in on all three frequencies, although only barely at 3925. 6055 is SIO 454, 9595 is 232. OM and YL talking casually. Per short-wave.info, all three transmissions are from the same location, at the same power (50 kW) and azimuth making this a good propagation test case. I hear you propagation gods, and will stick with 49m. (It's sunrise now, I don't have much time.) 6055 still strong at 1154z, still OM and YL speaking casually.

1140z, Radio Thailand, 5075 - Laotion broadcast, OM reading news. 232

1142z, China Radio International, 5910 - Filipino broadcast. Music followed by YL speaking over music. 500 kW transmission. 333

1147z, China Radio International 5955 - English broadcast. OM and YL speaking, too noisy to hear clearly but sounds like their regular program "Round Table." 150 kW transmission from Beijing. 222.

1150z, Voice of Vietnam 1, 5975 - YL, news reading format, 131.

1156z, 6090 - five different transmissions scheduled for this frequency at this time. But NHK World Radio Japan has the strongest signal and the music from 1157-1159 sounded like traditional Japanese music. Time pips and switch to Chinese language at 1200z. 232

1202z, Radio Taiwan International, 6105 - band is starting to get noisy. Music that reminded me of what they played over the opening credits of old comedies from the 40s, followed by YL speaking Cantonese which sounded like there was reverb on it. 222.

1208, Slot machine, 6251 - barely audible, sun's getting too high to keep this up.
