Don't forget the Canary Islands station, which is 20 kW and obviously 
in a good position to get sea gain to help launch strong low angle 
skywaves.  Along with Holland, they are the 747 TAs normally heard 
here.  Bill heard the station at 0700 UTC, and sunrise today at the 
Las Palmas transmitter location is not until 0727, so it's entirely 
plausible that Bill could hear them at that time.
