TP's this morning were better than yesterday. The best signal heard was from JOAK 594. Receiver: Modified Tecsun PL-310 with 7.5-inch loopstick. Local sunrise was at 1232 UTC.
558 unID, 1204, het. 567 JOIK, Sapporo J, 1227, man JJ (fair), QRM from unID 570 (probably KLIF). 594 JOAK, Tokyo J, 1228, //JOIK 567 (poor-to-fair). At 1232, singing, then man & woman JJ (fair), fading away at 1234. 648 unID (VOR?), 1205, het, QRM from CKOM, 650. 702 unID, 1207, het. Weak het still heard at 1239. 747 JOIB, Sapporo J, 1213, man JJ (poor), QRM from KRMG 740. 774 JOUB, Akita J, 1225, man JJ (poor); 1235 poor-to-barely audible, fading out at 1237. 828 JOBB, Osaka J, 1223, man JJ (poor), fading out at 1225. 972 unID (HLCA?), 1202, weak het; stronger at 1218; audible at 1244, QRM from KCFO 970. It seemed all signals were enhanced by the "sunrise lift". It seems JOAK 594 is often best at sunrise. Usually best JOUB 774 was more difficult to hear this morning. No trace of signals on the upper portion of the band. Good DX.
