Again, plenty of good MW propagation this month. Perhaps the best for the past 20 years. If you've never heard North American MW stations, try frequencies such as 930, 1010,
1500 and 1510 as these are often the clearest. Also perhaps try 1350, 1390 and 1440 as well as channels like 590, 620, 660, 770 etc
If you're after Kenya, try 1386 kHz for their sign-on at 0200 on Friday mornings ... Greece seems to be off air every week at this time, leaving the frequency clear. At 0230 you
may also hear Iran.
