Joe Miller confirmed to me today the reception of the January DX test from KJJR from Whitefish, Montana on 880 kHz. A special thanks to the NRC, IRCA, Paul Walker, Les Reyburn, Joe Miller and all the helpers on the American Courtesy Program Committee for the DX test.
The last days are still mostly stations from South America are heard, Peru is the last days the preferred direction of the received stations. Like the last weeks the signals are overall very weak. Due to the summer QRN listening is so often not the great joy. The most beautiful reception of the last days was Radio Candarave from Tacna near the border with Bolivia and Chile.

Here are my MW logs for the last few days. The transatlantic signals are very weak and can currently only be heard from South America. Some signals on 1440, 1480 and 1490 kHz are too weak to be identified, but maybe I will be able to identify them in the next few days. Radio Nacional FM, Lima on 1320 kHz is a first reception I was quite happy about.

WinRadio G33PRO/CSO, K9AY, RemoteQTH Box, 25 mt;
Today the single K9AY antenna was installed in perfect weather, loop range now 40 metres, reception performance and switching of direction (Asia/South America) works excellently.
Yesterday the station Sor. Wor. Thor from the Nong Khae district near Bangkok could be heard at the end of transmission at 17.00 UT in Salzburg on mediumwave 891 kHz. Excitingly, sunset at my station is currently at 19.52 CEST, so reception is almost an hour before sunset. Received with the 150 metre Asia Beverage.
Just in time before the deep winter here in Salzburg (if it comes), I improved the earthing of the Beverages. These 80cm long earth electrodes deserve their name and can also be screwed in 75cm deep. The QRN is lowered by a few dBm, which makes the work worthwhile.
Yesterday I mounted a second Beverage antenna. With 250 meters exactly the same length as mine mounted weeks ago, with the same angle. Identical uprights, identical wire spacing. The big difference is in the feed line. This is now done with a symmetrical TWINAX cable, so the topic of equalizing currents and their interference is completely eliminated. The TWINAX feed line goes directly into the station where it is converted to an asymmetrical coax cable just before the antenna switch. The construction of this antenna is a luxury, but only this way you can compare directly and 1:1 whether this variant receives better.
Yesterday I took advantage of the bad weather and set up my 250 meter Beverage in the rain at 3 degrees. Setup again as two-wire, the boxes of RemoteQTH.com Reception direction this time 335 degrees USA west coast and 165 degrees for Africa.
200 meters H-155 including beverages today nicely archived until autumn. Now the Bonito ML052 fights with 20 mt loop against the brilliant Swiss Stampfl/Fenu active dipole.
