I started recording slightly late last night, just after sunset, but wow, am I glad I did record! Level Island, AK, Whidbey Island, WA, Tofino, BC! All rare stations here. I thought it might be a good night, as I was getting west coast stations as early as 0229z, normally they appear in the wee hours. And over 2K decodes for Richmond, BC.
Level Island, 4 decodes over roughly a minute, when there was a brief opening after Partridge Island had faded out:

I normally do not look at single decode stations, but I decided to peek this time:
Biorka, AK not the same time as Level Island, so highly questionable, but IIRC no one else uses 305 kHz:

Cape Hinchinbrook, AK, I'd suspect Kensington, SC. However the time is reasonable, and if you look at the graph, it came in during a period when Kensington had faded out. So it is questionable, but possible.

If you look at the graph, there is a fairly high night to day decode rate ratio, indicative of lots of decodes and good conditions. And the DST value has stabilized, so the ionosphere seems relatively happy. Also not many t-storms. Hopefully these conditions will continue!
