Hi Bill,

Yes, conditions last night were definitely auroral, and conditions south
were quite good the evening of Oct 19 and morning of Oct 20.

I heard a weak CBM (// CBL) with the "Ideas" program last night. Can't
remember the exact time. At 0440 XEQ dominated the frequency with it's
"la Hora Torpical-Tropi Q", but around 0100, I had a very poor Reloj
(only a man speaking , not beep, no CW 'RR') and a second SS hot music
station, with WINZ drifting about also. I suspect the SS was  all-night
Venezuelan R. Punto Fijo. I've heard that one many times on 940, and
though I didn't hear an ID, I'd guess it was them because other
Venezuelans around the same time and earlier had moderate to good
signals on 670 (R. Rumbos), 720 (R. Oriente "Quinze"), 750 (R. Caracas)
and  780 (R. Coro), all of which were reIDed last night.

I heard these on  my ESKA/EDVIS PLAM-equipped R71A, and a Kiwa Loop.

Since Punto Fijo doesn't leave the air after 0500, maybe it was them you
heard under Reloj, or XEQ.

Saw your TA list the other day. Lets hope conditions become better in
that direction. After spending a week in Newfoundland, I'm really
spoiled.
