Radio Medi 1 (Morocco) at 171 kHz was audible from about 05:17 AM to 06:12 AM Sydney time, stronger than usual. A short fragment recorded at 06:00 AM is attached. 

Romania at 153 kHz had its carrier audible from 05:30 AM, up and down to about 07:00 AM, with its peak at 06:03 AM Sydney time, however S/N rate was a bit too low for its audio to be heard.
