From the west coast, in the middle of winter, early in the morning sometimes JOUB 774 kHz (500 kW) from Akita Japan can be heard, or at least detected using "CW" mode on a communications receiver. I have heard program audio on occasion with nothing more than an Eton E-5, using its built-in antenna. Give it a try next winter.
