I continued to check the band until I went to bed just after 0900, and
then had the SDR-IQ recording the 600's and 700's for a few hours.
Conditions at 0900 would have made for a decent sunrise enhancement,
especially this time of year, with audio popping up in all sorts of
places. My recordings showed the TP DX stayed in the rest of the night
but, except in a couple of cases, never produced the exciting signal
levels I found when I first listened.
I noted the following in addition to the stations listed in my original
post (scroll down):
518 Kushiro (Japan) and Honolulu Navtex transmissions
531 carrier
549 carrier
558 carrier
567 Japan with good audio at about 0845
576 Japan fair
621 Asian talk (woman), too much 620/630 splash to ID language, but
inflections suggested N Korea
639 CNR1, ID in Chinese 1001
648 carrier after 1100
657 N Korea fair w/strident woman 1000
666 carrier, presumed Japan
675 Carrier at 1000
693 Japan fair, much weaker than 747 774
729 Carrier, possible time pips from Japan 1000
738 Taiwan with ID in CC 0901
756 carrier, threshold audio
783 carrier, threshold audio
864 threshold audio
918 carrier
1035 carrier
1098 carrier
1287 Japan rose up to recognizable audio at times
1422 carrier, maybe some audio
1476 Man & woman in Chinese briefly quite good around 0845, then faded
Bruce in Seattle

There's a nice TP opening right now (0835 UT). So far I've had good
audio on 747 774 and 972, fair audio on 576 594 1134 and 1206, plus
carriers on 567 585 621 639 738 945 981 1278 1287 1566, and probably
more channels. Some of the carriers are starting to break into audio,
too. It'll be interesting to see what gets reported at our sunrise in
a few hours.
