Hmmm.  It was a reasonable morning here, but not outstanding
compared with some of the October mornings, so that's why I kept
quiet.  Still, probably pretty good if you were on the coast.

The last couple of mornings, signals have peaked fairly sharply at around
1510-1515UTC, about 15 minutes before local sunrise.  Surprising
things can happen in that little time slot:  for example 1044, where
for a few seconds, there was a woman clearly in JJ in spite of the 1070
local splatter.   After that, was apparently //7190, but mostly
wishful thinking in the murk.  Usually, I'm lucky to get a carrier
in the garbage.

And, while the big Japanese guns were not outstanding, there was audio
(briefly) on channels like 1593 and 1422.

I've been hearing northern Japanese MW stations over an hour before their
sunset when conditions are right.  Komsomolsk-na-Amure (the actual
city for 153 I think) sunset is ~0700UT, so that fits with the MW
experience this season.

best wishes,
