Uncharacteristic strong reception here in Denver, somewhat marred by spatter from RHC on the adjacent frequency of 6145 kHz. It's sunrise at Moosbrunn so that's probably a factor.

Nice catch, quite jealous.  Was one of my favorite broadcasters when they could be heard in the States on a regular basis.  Plus, they would embellish you with station promotional items for reception reports.  They also had one of the finest IS.  Sigh......

Thanks. I checked in the following night (24 DEC) but the signal was much weaker, so whatever opening I had was unique and not necessarily getting any boost from greyline conditions present at Moosbrunn. Which makes sense since it was a long way from greyline here.
