1375.02 | ST. PIERRE ET MIQUELON | RFO, OCT 16 2358 - FF talk,
jazz; excellent. [Connelly*D-MA]
1470 | VENEZUELA | R. Vibracion, YVSY, Carupano, OCT 23 2258 -
most likely this with SS talk and Venezuela mentions. YVJW
Valencia is also possible, but much less commonly heard here.
Domestic skip was nearly non-existent at the time. WLAM-ME
took over later as auroral effects diminished. [Connelly*B-MA]
1500 | VENEZUELA | YVRZ, Cumana, OCT 16 2359 - frequent Caracas
mentions; good with WTOP phased. [Connelly*D-MA] + OCT 20 0136 -
reverberated R. Dos Mil ID; in WTOP null. [Connelly*R-MA]
1529.54 | unID | OCT 16 0303 - het, bits of audio, but the identity
remains elusive. I haven't seen it ID'ed elsewhere. Uruguay-1529.6
was heard in Newfoundland, but this is probably something else.
[Connelly*H-MA]
1550 | unID | OCT 23 2230 - most likely previously-logged HJCB
Barranquilla, Colombia with SS talk briefly dominant. Conditions
were auroral in the immediate post-sunset period. [Connelly*B-MA]
1570 | DOMINICAN REPUBLIC | HIAJ, Santo Domingo (t), OCT 20 0127 -
almost certainly R. Amanecer Internacional with religious music
and SS talk; most of the domestic activity was knocked out by
the cardioid array's null to the west. [Connelly*R-MA]
+ OCT 23 2302 - SS religion just under low-power groundwave
semi-local WNSH during aurora. [Connelly*B-MA]
1580 | unID | OCT 23 2250 - probably HJQZ Barranquilla (heard
before); fast SS talk eventually covered by Caribbean culture
program from WSRF-Florida. [Connelly*B-MA]
1610 | ANGUILLA | Caribbean Beacon, The Valley, OCT 19 2322 -
preacher asked for donations and said he'd been on the air "for 25
years with no hypocrisy and no subterfuge"; briefly atop TIS mess.
