As Colin noted, the lower band collapsed around 1500UT, not really to be heard from again. There was certainly more action in the hour previous to 1500UT, but the morning monitoring here is limited to sunrise effects.
There was in fact a "sunrise" (20 minutes early) peak particularly above 1550kHz, 15dB or so for HLAZ-1566, which took it from non-existent audio, to "barely there" audio. pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly): 972 HLCA 1540UT, the exception to the general collapse of the mid to lower band. Takes a lot to hold this one down. Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise): the above passing through not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker: 594 JOAK 1510UT 747 JOIB //828 1507UT 774 JOUB 1508UT; barely there audio during its sign off at 1540UT 945 CNR1 man in Chinese, much delayed from //6175, and barely holding its own with //1593; 1547UT; another mid bander that proved the exception, with this brief flurry of activity 1593 CNR1 man in Chinese peaking briefly 1534UT; weaker at 1547UT, when //945 Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music) 567 JOIK //594 1510UT 828 JOBB //747 1507UT 1287 man and woman, Japanese intonation 1548UT 1566 woman talking, Chinese? choral music 1535UT, very erratic fading, and problems with domestic splatter.
