Receiving North American medium wave stations

Stuart Heathcock reports hearing WWZN Revolution Boston on 1510 kHz and weak carriers all over the US AM extension band 1610-1700 kHz.

He writes

NA MX DX season has started here in London. WWZN Revolution Boston heard this morning at 0300 GMT on 1510 with reasonable signal strength on SDR-IQ and 10x3m Flag antenna.

TCR moving from 1512 has made it easier to hear WWZN and the station is arguably the easiest to hear of the NA regulars.

Carriers were noted all over the x-band [1610-1700 kHz] but just too weak for audio. MW conditions are now very different to those pertaining late April/May/June.

Besides 1510 I would say 590, 1390 and 1010 kHz are the best bets to listen on. I would expect the x-band to start showing audio in next few weeks as well.
