Asia is getting better day by day in the mediumwave band. In addition to the Arabic region and Iran, stations from the Far East are already reaching Salzburg. Yesterday an unexpected opening to Japan around 1715 UT, with JONR ABC Asahi Hoso, Osaka on 1008, JOQR NCB Bunka Hoso, Tokyo on 1134 and JOLF NBS Nippon Hoso, Tokyo on 1242.

Here are my mediumwave logs of the past few days. The reception window to South and North America was well open this weekend, the days before rather below average. Particular pleasure on Mexico, XEEST Ondas de Vida on 1440 kHz and XEFCR Focus Radio, Reynosa on 1670 kHz should be highlighted. Asia can be heard every evening from about 1730 UT with some stations, but the signals are very variable. The Orient can be heard very steadily later in the evening, Far East is rather below average, although 1566 FEBC from Korea can be heard reliably. While the VoA station in Thailand on 1575 kHz could be heard at 1745 UT with S7-9 at the beginning of the week, it has only been very weakly receivable the last few days.
