At 0450 today, a very weak signal from 10320 (listed as Iceland). Too
weak to use unluckily, something to add to the evidence though. Surely
by going through all the logs from the various locations around the world,
looking at the times the broadcasts have been heard, we should be able
to narrow down the possible sites for each frequency.

My logs today included 10320 - very weak after 0500, usable by 0545 with a Top 40 program, then went off air with no ID at 0559. Now (0715) there is 6350 // 12689.5 with Jazz (6350 just ahead), and 10940.5 with a different program.

A summary of logs reported from around the world follows: (read in fixed width font)

14000                         1045-1320

Now if someone with propagation theory wants to tie this to the sites....
