Well, a sign on at 04 (or 05) UTC wintertime *is* bad news for a 
channel like 1390 at my latitude.

Let's face it, Martin, there's simply no reason at all for using so 
many MW channel in Europe (with the power levels involved, I mean). 
Personally, I don't know of a single person tuning to the MW band 
outside our circle. Not when almost everybody listens only to music 
programmes on local FM or news on car radios, when they don't watch 
satellite TV. Not if considering that night time wide area reception 
is complete nonsense in a region where people are at sleep or if 
they're awake switch languages, cultures and advertised products 
every 100 kilometers. Of course, I know what's good for me, might be 
bad for TA DXers in North America (where they cut the power, at night)
