Everyone seems to have agreed that this morning wasn't quite like yesterday. My loggings were somewhat odd. On the one hand, there were still many stations that faded up to a solid readable level at one time or another. On the other hand, there was a real lack of low level signals, of mysterious Chinese, and no North Koreans. (also odd: 540 720 900 were exceptions) Lots of carriers with snippets of audio though.
