It was -24 below this morning while DXing between 1745 and 2030UTC but man there was stuff everywhere and most of it ranged from fairly listenable and easily understandable to GREAT.
I had 26 listenable signals too, INCLUDING my semi local 50,000 watt KJNP 1170 Fairbanks, Alaska (300 miles to my east) being blasted out of the water by an Asian. In the 1170 clip below, you can hear KJNP well well underneath whatever/whoever I have on 1170!
