Interesting in that he didn't comment on the distirbution of your data by frequency in that your receptions of the two lower-frequency stations was significantly more frequent - and that your receptions of 1548 ought not to be all that much different from 160, relatively speaking.
I have become somewhat jaded over the years in some of the efforts of some of the 160m ham community to try to force conclusions on propagation on that band and also on MW, although this may not be happening here. My personal feeling is that there are other factors at work here. I've been reading with some interest some recent scientific studies which offer significant changes in what scientists thought they knew about how various atmospheric and geomagnetic operations actually work which could have some significant impact on radio hobbyists' view of propagation.
