Noted here too - I think they had to be on day pattern, if not day power.

Strangely, conditions to the west weren't all that good here, a bit farther 
east than Saul.  CJGX was barely noticeable on 940, and CBW was just so-so.  
On the other hand, LA signals were a bit better than usual, and there were 
some excellent TAs, especially on the low end.  Algeria on 549 was 
particularly outstanding, and the // on 531 was quite audible, though much 
weaker.  BBC was very good on 693 and 909, and at least another dozen TAs had 
decent audio, including France on 945.
