Not quite Colorado perhaps, but a definite improvement, if hearing some of the previously regular big guns is an improvement. Well, I guess it is.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

not so

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

594 JOAK 1525UT topping out with man in Japanese

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

603 HLSA jazzy soft music 1522UT; had been ID'd a few minutes earlier with //558 on the Kiwi SDR in South Korea

747 JOIB 1522UT

774 JOUB 1440UT; also pretty good with anthem and music box at 1530UT sign off

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

567 JOIK brief audio, man //594 1524UT

972 man and woman talking, Korean intonation 1510UT

1566 man talking, Russian intonation 1648UT; this one took awhile to deliver, for sure.

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

693 828 873 seemed to be Asian;
1017 seemed to be DU
