Better; decidedly better, but mostly due to a fairly short-lived pre-sunrise lift primarily on the high band.

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):

the above passing through

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

594 JOAK 1502UT

1422 JORF woman in Japanese 1523UT

1503 JOUK man /594 1525UT

1566 HLAZ womn in Chinese 1524UT

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 man //594 1522UT

774 JOIB //1386 1523UT, but slightly better signal at 1535UT

1017 island vocals 1449UT

1386 NHK2 woman //747 1523UT

1593 CNR1 woman //6175 1519UT

1593 NHK2 woman //1386 1522UT dominating CNR1 which was also there

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

603 774 828 972 1098 1116 1224 1242 1314 1332 1359 1458 1485 1557 1575 seemed to be Asian;
603 891 seemed to be DU

Maybe the band is finally recovering from all the recent solar activity?
At any rate 171 and 252 LWBC were finally heard again at decent levels
this evening, with even Sync AM on the modified R75 giving good
reception for several minutes, around 0340 utc.
