I've managed some longwave DXing lately, and here are the results. New job (!) isn't kicking my butt quite so badly now, time-wise, so I'm actually awake when conditions start to be decent. If nothing else, there are always the weekends.
I'm still amazed at the 1/18 catch, though. How I pulled that off, I do not know. I'll call it akin to hearing KOA on 850kHz and just count myself fortunate. Tonight's been crazy for Ontarians, though.

You lot get my full, wordy logs, as I can't be bothered to edit them down. Heh. Would you believe we have a Mosinee in Wisconsin? Similar to the Ontarian city name, but not quite the same. I've noticed a lot of Ontarian names could be Wisconsinite, no doubt due to the First Nations influences in both locations. Still surprised and pleased at that Oklahoma City catch, too. :D
Edited to add: Aaaaaand one more. This's also from 1/20.
278, FD - Earli, Poplar Bluff, Missouri NDB, 1004. Morse ID's with a few seconds between. Signal fair at best, though fluttery and subject to some rapid fading. SIO 323.
