I went back early on the hilltop around 7 am despite the heavy rain close by as its usually pretty tame up there but sometimes can be confusing. The rain was isolated and some lightning in the area. Which was off the coast about 4 miles and very loud.
again as mentioned all times in UTC and all frequencies in Kilohertz. I will add a note on why UTC later.
9500 khz 20:59 ut Radio Australia with news and comments on there station and how many can learn english along with other things by listening to the station. This was followed by world events and a bomber in Pakistan. 44445
11695 khz 21:00 ut Radio Australia with comments on the unemplyment in the US and how if you buy something it keeps the employment going. 44444
11650 khz 21:12 ut Radio Australia Asia-Pacific comments on the recession and loss of Jobs and the jobless records in decades. 44445
utility catch on Marine Bands
8415 khz XSV 21:40 ut China station repeated the callsign followed by some digital tones
9000 khz 21:56 ut Fire Dragon Station in China signals were strong 55555
9170 khz 22:04 ut Chinese station CNR6 broadcasting lots of music and comments in non english 44434
Note: The use of UTC is an old tradition amongst Shortwave and Ham Buffs for many years we use this when make a schedule or contact with another station. For example if BBC was gonna broadcasts a program on say 9740 khz at 21:00. It would be very confuseing not knowing what part of the world it would be as we all know there is 24 hrs in a day. So long time ago it was decided that UTC would be considered Universal for all to mention there plans for a broadcasts.
This also helps in Ham Radio or even Marine radio when a certain schedule is going to be done.
