** Personal Skegness 'First'

A welcome return to good North American conditions (at last!) with some mid-western activity. 850 KOA was also tentatively heard at 0400 when 1510 KCKK was audible. In fact there were many stations which got away due to being splattered over or just not quite strong enough to push through the pile-ups. 1230 had a few bits and pieces of audio, including tentative IDs. I could hear ABC News and USA Radio News on 1230 around 0500 and 0600 but any presenter's vocals were obscured by the co-channel mess.

Other curiosities were USA Radio News and CBS News, heard on 1300, as was an echoey of USA Radio News on 1360, both around 0600, indicating two stations.

Geomagnetic activity continues to be quiet and North America is booming in on several channels before local midnight tonight.

Good DX!
