19 Metres. 14 Countries. 1 Hour,

In a random band scan of the 19 metre band at 09.00 UTC, on 7 September, as many as 14 countries were logged. China continued to dominate the band, even with a few redundant broadcasts on different frequencies. Propagation seemed a tad noisy, but certainly much better than on the 25 metre band which is almost useless, here in South East Asia. Reception of course may be better in other regions of the world. Give the radio dial a turn. See what comes through the radio waves. Happy DXing!
