A different and somewhat better morning than yesterday, except the Alaskans were totally missing today. More China in however and the CRI on 603 was a new one for the log. As others have mentioned, no dawn enhancement at all, and dawn degradation if anything. 1400Z seemed to be the peak of the four times sampled and was considerably better than 1500Z when even some big guns (693, 828) were absent.
The following times sampled this morning: 1259Z, 1359Z, 1445Z, 1459Z for 1-2 minutes each using Perseus and TOH Recorder. The following were heard in audio: 153 R.
