I've got to figure my reception here in Alaska is one of a few things,
namely either what those in the lower 48 hear in the mornings TA's in the
evening, I hear as TPs along with over the Pole. My mornings are loaded
with Asian's along with Europe and Middle East. My nights are Canada and
the lower 48, as far east as Detroit, Chicago and .. Guymon, Oklahoma!
This is tops on the list, it's 400,000 Watt 1188khz MR4 Nemzetiségi Adások
in Hungary from Sun Jan 17, 2021 at 1805UTC. I'm glad no one was milling
about our village on a Sunday before sunrise because I was so thrilled with
how good this audio and signal is, I was pretending to somewhat excitedly
conduct my own orchestra. Audio:

Another near top favorite of mine is Radio Eli, 1035khz from Estonia from
Mon Jan 18, 2021 at at 1730UTC. I like this because I don't recall seeing
many reports of folks logging Estonia on AM plus it's not a bad signal for
"only" 200KW. Audio:

Talk Sport 1089 was so clear one morning it sounded almost like Anchorage
or Fairbanks AM stations do. In fact, the signal got a bit clearer as I
listened AND.. the signal hung in for 14 plus minutes at near local
strength like. AUdio:

Here's SBA's Quran Channel on 882khz on Mon Jan 18, 2021 at 1631UTC. I like
this because I can't recall many people logging it. Audio:

I like this one because of the distance, power and the fact I think few
others have logged it. This is Radio Deckhova, 1233khz, only 10,000 Watts
from the Czech Republic. Recorded Sun Jan 17, 2021 at 1817UTC. Audio:

This is Radio Quzain, 1125khz from Iran on Sat. Jan 16, 2021 at 1553UTC.
First time heard here and I haven't seen many if any reports from others.

1287, JOHR Sapporo, Japan is one of my favorite asians. Despite being "low
powered" at "only" 50,000 Watts its heard quite regularly, quite well land
for several minutes at a time. Here's a recent recording of them, audio:

Here's a recent clip from Radio Tabriz, Iran on 1026khz. Not a great
signal, but not horrible.. modulation and audio leave something to be
desired. The signal doesn't usually last long but will reappear several
times during the morning sometimes. Audio:

I had Radio lasi 103.5 khz form Romania with glorious classical music,
about as good as I've ever heard anything on 1050-1053, considering the
beeping you hear in the background of this recording is my local 1kw
airport beacon, only 1.5 miles away! (most beacons are 25 to 100 watts or
so_. Audio:

I had BBC 5 Live Sports on 909khz the other day and briefly even had an
echo in an earlier recording. First time heard here:

I'll share some other stations audio later on.

P.s. Yes, our milk and gas are that expensive. No, no roads come up here
from Anchorage but we do have cars up here. Everything is flown in 6-9
months of the year and a barge is used in the summer. Electricity is very
expensive as well and internet is purely by satellite, no other options.
