Such improvement wasn't prevailing in the East yet, not at my QTH at 
least. The MW band was remaining deaf last night (22:30-01:30 UT) except 
for 621 Canary Islands and a few faint traces here and there likely from 
Spain. The normally reliable big guns from France & UK, 864, 909, 945, 
1089, 1215 and 1377 were still absent.

As for the longwave band, only Iceland 189 showed some character. The 
Maghrebians 153, 171, 207 and 252 were also present although at a weaker 
level than usual.
