Hello Laurens,

So far T/A propagation has been about the worst I have experienced for  
years.
However, since a week ago, I have daily reception of LT-305, Alert, CAN NU  
at 82 degrees north.
Today I had even aural copy already around my sunset.

I found that propagation from the north recovers often quicker than from  
lower T/A latitudes.
It sounds weird, but it simple is what I find.
Last night, I heard 6 NDB's from Nunavit, whilst NAVTEX on 518 kHz from  
Puorto Rico was completely absent, which is rare. An other proof of  
enhanced propagation from the north is reception of NAVTEX 518 kHz from  
Svalbard. A rare bird here, so to speak.
Looking at the current state of propagation, reception of Joe's, VO1NA,  
OP8 signal in Europe by quite a few listeners is short of amazing!
73,
