The band finally opened up for me.  Earlier at 1510 UTC only had a weak carrier.  Now at 1521 UTC I've got "Video Killed the Radio Star" at S8 levels, with very clear audio.  Signal took another big jump, now at S9/+10 to S9/+20 with "Dangerous" at 1526 UTC. 1528 UTC Brothers Johnson and "Strawberry Letter 23".  1533 UTC "The Way it Is" - Bruce Hornsby.  Signal still S9/+10 dB here.

Nothing here on the SDR recording until 1504 when the band suddenly opened, and an S8 signal appeared. Very good copy from that time until 1546 sign off, although a little weaker then.
