Reception of NHK powerhouses was much improved this morning.  It was marred by static from nearby thunderstorms.  Receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-310 & 7.5-inch loopstick.  Sunrise was at 1243 UTC.

558  unID, 1236, carrier, fair.  A weak signal was still audible at 1306.
567  JOIK Sapporo J, 1220, man speaking JJ, poor.
594  JOAK Tokyo J, 1237, man talking JJ, poor.  Signal audible until sun was above horizon fading out at 1253.

No TP signals was heard in the upper half of the MW band.

I spent a few minutes listening for TA's overnight.

I hope you also had a good night DXing.
