The far east is still conspicuous in its absence, while the ionosphere favors the broader near east through to mid-Africa. Already at 1540 UT AIR North could be heard from Varanasi, followed immediately by Radio Sultanate of Oman on the same frequency. Radio Free Africa was also able to keep up with the early start at 1800 UT. Later in the evening, the station could be recorded almost continuously in quiet quality.
Later in the evening, many Spanish channels could be received somewhat more subdued and with an echo effect. This could have been beneficial if the condx had only been slightly better.
Here are the logs:

After a long time, this day was once again a real DX experience. After looking at the logs in the mw list, I'm not expecting much new. All the better that I was able to confirm the musical and linguistic identity of all comparisons by parallel localization - you switch on a 2nd BFO and set the frequency to be compared. Even two states on one frequency could be separated, AIR West and AIR North. From neighboring Bangladesh, Betar could be heard from Dhaka on a heavily heterodyned frequency.
Taiwan Chü Yuyeh Kuangpo Tientai covered the most kilometers, 9356. The last place was taken by TWR Europe and CAMENA from Kyrgyzstan, 4954 km. First place goes to first heard a couple of days later. It's Shanxi RGD Nongcun Guangbo, Shuozhou. According to mw-list it's the second entry in the past years.
As far as the statistics, here are the logs:

Audible for the first time this season was CNR 5 Taihai zhi Sheng, Quanzhou on 10/26/2022. With 1000 kW no problem, one would think, but the inonosphere often has a different opinion. Two transmitters from Thailand on 891 and 1575 kHz can be heard regularly, albeit weakly. While the Voice of America from Ban Phachi/Rasom (Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya) also comes with 1000 kW on 1575, the Radio Thailand transmitter from Saraburi is content with a modest 400 kW on 891 kHz. Also worth mentioning is the powerful signal from Radio Afghanistan from Kabul on 1107 kHz with 400 kW.
