Today's DX was more interesting than yesterday. I woke up at 1320 today
and listened until just after 1400. Except for 594 and 693, the NHK
powerhouses were very much subpar, but some of the commercial stations
were better than average. The upper part of the band was interesting at
about 1200, or at least that's what the SDR files revealed (I was asleep
at the time). There seemed to be a narrow enhancement window around
1340-1350, in addition to the gradual drop in domestic splatter I noted
yesterday.
