- Added 1000 KOMO, 27-09-16.
Conditions not so good to Asia this evening, but overnight was interesting and I think I had west coast USA.
Overall, I didn't hear a lot of North American signals. The few which were present were mostly very weak, but the following were worthy of note:
1510 had three stations around 0500: A sports station on a low offset; WMEX Boston MA around the centre of the frequency; Then an oldies station slightly higher than WMEX. I only caught WMEX's ID.
1520 also had three stations around 0500: WWKB. A talk station, plus a country music station. The latter may have been KKXA Snohomish WA.
Finally to 1000, also around 0500: Two US talk stations were fighting it out. WMVP was winning with ESPN IDs. But who was the other station? It has to be KOMO Seattle WA. But could I get an ID? No! It just faded nicely at the top of the hour, allowing WMVP to dominate.
So, I think I can safely say that west coast USA made it through this morning, even though I didn't catch an ID from presumed KOMO. Actually, I thought I heard a mention of "Komo News" at one point, but it was too weak to be certain. Let's hope things continue to improve.
Good DX!

This evening brought one of the best Asiatic sessions I can remember! Three clear Japanese stations, plus monstrous signals from South Koreans 972 HLCA, 1170 HLSR and 1566 HLAZ.
There were lots of unidentified Oriental signals too. I have an idea what some of these are, but until I hear an ID I will leave them alone. It's quite clear there are other Japanese stations in there.

** Personal First
September 1st was quite a special morning. I've only ever logged one Ecuadorian station on medium wave. Radio Sucre from Guayaquil on 700 kHz. I've actually heard this twice, so I am well aware how rare Ecuador is to hear. Then THREE new Ecuadorian stations come along within minutes of each other! Curiously, Radio Sucre wasn't heard at all at the time.
