It's been average at best lately, for awhile.. The low end of the band, below about 730-ish has been nearly dead and real quiet.
Here's my favorite, "Eagle 810", with 50,000 Watts from Tokyo. I catch them at the end of a spot break, followed by a station liner and into pop music.

Audio: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFe8bfxWOxU Here's KBS2 1170 with man and woman talking. Hear that guy undernearth them? That's Dr. DAvid Jeremiah from the 50,000 watts of KJNP 1170, 300 miles away. Usually, more often they blast in with no sign of KBS. Sometimes the two compete for the rights to 1170khz and not often, but sometimes KBS full takes over. One morning, I had KBS2 1170 in the clear, with no KJNP and a half hour later, KBS2 was gone and KJNP Was in the clear.
