Colin lives just down the road from me and he had a good morning for sure.  I ended up only on the bottom half of the band before running out of time and dawn.  I monitored between 12:39 and 13:45 or so.  The first thing I noticed was excellent reception of the Russian LW stations.....much stronger than usual.  My highlight is Guam on 801, though at 13:36.  That one's a first for me.  Thanks to Patrick Martin for confirming this one.  The JJ stations were exceptionally strong today.  Here's the list.  6 unless stated otherwise!

153 an 8
189 a 7
279 a 7....all 3 in //
558
585
594 JOAK at an 8
603
612 4QR at an 8, coming in early at 13:04.  Great signal.  Normally don't hear this one until later.
621
666 JOBK at 13:08 at a 7
675 a 7 around 13:08, not NHK1, but oriental.  Not sure who.  Didn't sound like Vietnam, but who knows!
702  several stations at 13:20.  CC and NHK2 underneath.  2BL at 13:52, though.
720 a 6.  Drifting transmitter.  Initially 720.06 but drifting to 720.83 at 13:50.  Weak audio too.  I'm thinking this is probably North Korea
738
747  JOIB at a 9 with the strongest I've heard them this season.
756 a 7, ?KK
774  a 9 with JOUB and cochannel, I think 3L0
792  probably 4RN with music from around the world at 8
801  US Christian preacher at a strong 7 at 13:36.  I checked Radio Rhema's audio stream.  Not them.  I wondered about Filipino stations, but Patrick tells me this is Guam.  Wonderful!  My first reception of this one, I think!
828  JOBB at a 9, but other stations also heard co-channel
846
855
927
963
1116
1242
1566

I did notice that my various antennae didn't seem to be overly directive this morning, compared to other mornings.  Overall, very strong JJ, while others had their moments, but never had a chance to check the upper half of the band properly.  Also, LW Russians were the strongest I've heard thus far this season.  Good DX to you all!............Walt.
