Last night I was searching the band around 9pm local time, I logged a number of stations across the band and found the band around 1500KHz-1600KHz had a real spike with the below stations being logged at great signal levels. These were all logged with my TEAC PR130 barefoot.

1503KHz - 3KND (Melbourne, 5k)
1521KHz - 2QN (Deniliquin,  2k) For a 2kw station, this was coming in at an amazing signal level.
1566KHz - 3NE Wangaratta, 5k)
1593KHz - HPON (Melbourne, 5k)
