A vast improvement over 24 hours ago. Lower half of the band was especially decent, though not quite back to "average", with the upper half presenting few signals with nothing strong. Dawn enhancement was lackluster this morning with little improvement noted. Five R. Rossii LWBC in this morning but no Alaska noted. Nothing new heard.
