Despite S9+20 static, European LWBC reception was pretty decent this evening, especially in the hour or so just after sunset. MW eventually had many hets with a number at levels one would think would produce audio, but didn't. Only 1134 Croatia produced poor audio at 0316 utc. LWBC with audio: 153 weak; 162 weak/medium; 171 poor/weak; 177 weak; 183 weak/medium; 189 weak/medium; 198 weak; 207 poor; 216 weak; 225 weak; 234 poor/weak; 252 poor; 270 poor/weak--all from 0220-0330 utc. That may be my best ever for number of channels with recognizable audio at one session--and despite the high static level. Conditions on LWBC declined as the static crashes became continuous; 162, 189, 198 still had some audio at 0400 utc. MW still had lots of hets but not as strong as earlier too.
