QTH: Maakeski, South Finland, 40 km from Lahti. RX: Perseus. ANT: 700 m Japan, 700 m Colombia, 650 m Alaska. DXer: JLN, Jari Lehtinen.
Common stations with nothing noteworthy omitted.
Tromsö K index was lying on zero level most of the week, Kyoto DST had highly positive numbers and sun was calm as lake in sunday morning. The results speak for itself. There might be more stations, but I gave up. This is enough. Next top period arrives after sun settles down after Nov 16, according to current forecast.

918 31.10. 1859- J: JOEF YBC Yamagata. Yamagata did it again. 17 over commercial break with a good signal contained only instrumental music. This has happened before. JLN
1008 1.11. 1310- J: JONR ABC Osaka. Baseball. JLN
1188 1.11. 1959- J: JOKP NHK1 Kitami. Payam took a deep breath and gave room to a clear ID with call, that is exceptional for a Hokkaido station. "JOKP NHK Kitami daichi hoso desu". JLN

Amazing that 100 watt relays can be heard under the Chinese megawatts, but exact identity will remain obscure, as China has terrible echo and only Kimigayo was heard, with 26 x 100W = 2.6 kW combined power.
