963  unID, NOV 25 0222 - trumpet music; clear at first, then it faded

1116  unID's, NOV 26 0052 - a real "stew" w/ possible SS talk, AA

an interview in accented EE; huge signal jumped over WHAM-1180 on the 
car radio (reducing WHAM to a background het) at a couple of sites in

1197  unID, NOV 26 0145 - "Many Rivers to Cross" by Jimmy Cliff; 
briefly good, then faded.  It was not // Virgin-1215; I tried 
1188 to see if // Morocco (but just a growl there), and the
Lesotho shortwave //'s weren't making it to test that possibility
either.  [Connelly*H-MA] 

1206  FRANCE, R. Bleue, Bordeaux, NOV 25 0607 - // 1377 w/ big-band
jazz; fair.  [Connelly*H-MA]

this should be able to reach the US / Canada west coast at this 
time. + NOV 25 0750-0800 - still good at this late time: Norwegian 
talk by man & woman, then folk music. + NOV 26 0728 - juggernaut 
signal here w/ talk and female folk vocal.  [Connelly*H-MA]  

1325  MOROCCO, RTM "C", Safi, NOV 25 0612 - pop / soul vocal, possibly
Whitney Houston, poor w/ het from 1323 (Germany?).  [Connelly*H-MA]

possibly in GG; in WPLM slop.  [Connelly*H-MA]  
 
1431  unID, NOV 24 0557 - het, bits of talk in slop.  Probably too 
late for Ukraine, so Portugal is more likely.  This is a tough channel 
because of 4 strong stations (MA / NJ / NY / ON) on 1430. [Connelly-MA] 

1467  FRANCE, TWR Roumoules, NOV 23 2318 - good w/ British-accented

Cuba buzz) grinding away behind WBNW/VOCM.  [Connelly*H-MA] 
                                          
595  DOMINICA, DBS, Hillsborough, NOV 25 2351 - Carib-EE talk by

surged up again at 0646.  CJBC started testing at 0650 and
wiped out the other co-channel signals.  When CJBC goes off,
860 can be a "shooting gallery" for interesting Latin American
DX.  [Connelly*H-MA]

undoubtedly the US-accented religious station that I noted several 
times o/u WADO during mildly auroral conditions when I was at Tom 
Beaton's house in Manchester, MA.  I had dismissed this as a southern 
USA domestic until I saw Dave Yocis's log of it.  (Thanks Dave.)

heard Fortaleza on 1200.  [Connelly-MA]
