The last few days have seen some very unusual conditions from a DX standpoint. The powerhouse signals from the south that usually dominate the AM band haven't been there and that has created a huge opening for signals from the east.
I woke up around 2AM this morning and went across the dial. The first surprise was a very loud CKSW 570 Swift Current dominating KVI, CKDM 730 Dauphin was causing havoc to Vancouver's CHMJ, CKJH 750 in Melfort was booming in like a local, French programming on 860 which had to have been CBC Saskatoon, CKLQ Brandon on 880 way atop KIXI & CHQT, & somebody playing Country on 920 which I assume was CFRY in Portage La Prairie. We'll see what tonight brings in.
