======================================================

*** TRANSATLANTIC DX ***

567 | IRELAND | RTE R.1, Tullamore, OCT 20 0427 - uptempo Irish show band
music; good. [Connelly-MA]

621 | CANARY ISLANDS // SPAIN | RNE R.1 synchros, Santa Cruz de Tenerife et
al., OCT 13 0340 - "Imagine" by John Lennon, then man with Spanish talk;
fair. + OCT 24 0338 - man in Spanish, then pop music; best TA during
tonight's moderate aurora. [Connelly-MA]

1089 | UNITED KINGDOM | Talk Sport synchros, OCT 20 0419 - teletalk
mentioned being a winner; poor. [Connelly-MA]

1206 | FRANCE | France Bleu, Bordeaux, OCT 14 0332 - "Upside Down" by Diana
Ross; good. [Connelly-MA]

1215 | SPAIN | COPE synchros, OCT 15 0358 - echoey Spanish talk.
[Connelly-MA]

1377 | FRANCE | France Bleu, Lille, OCT 20 0408 - 1974 disco hit "Boogie
Down" by Eddie Kendricks; fair. [Connelly-MA]

1521 | SAUDI ARABIA | BSKSA, Duba, OCT 14 0335 - female Arabic vocal &
violins; excellent. [Connelly-MA]

1530 | SAO TOME E PRINCIPE | VOA Relay, Pinheira, OCT 20 0350 - // 7290 with
VOA news interview; poor to fair in WSAI null. [Connelly-MA]


*** PAN-AMERICAN DX ***

530 | TURKS & CAICOS | R. Vision Cristiana Internacional, South Caicos, OCT
27 0403 - loud with reverberated Spanish ads for a church in New York City.
[Connelly-MA] 

555 | ST. KITTS & NEVIS | R. ZIZ, Basseterre, OCT 24 0344 - calypso / reggae
male vocal and rhythm section; to fair peak. [Connelly-MA]

640 | CUBA | R. Progreso, Guanabacoa / Las Tunas, OCT 27 0359 - R. Progreso
ID, Spanish talk, and bits of classical music. [Connelly-MA] 

720 | VENEZUELA | R. Oriente, YVQE, Porlamar, OCT 27 0356 - Venezuelan
anthem including a children's chorus; atop CHTN. [Connelly-MA]

750 | VENEZUELA | RCR, YVKS, Caracas, OCT 24 0336 - RCR ID, talk about
"beisbol"; fair to good, dominant. [Connelly-MA] 

780 | VENEZUELA | R. Coro, YVMN, Coro, OCT 23 0305 - R. Coro ID, excited
talk; only S-5 but over aurorally-weakened CFDR/WBBM.  This station
routinely hits S9+20 on Cape Cod, so the extra 90 miles up Route 3 equates
to about 40 dB of attenuation ! [Connelly-MA] 

820 | ST. KITTS & NEVIS | Trinity Broadcast Network, Charlestown, OCT 23
0308 - fervent preaching clearly // 7510.  Was over/under WNYC.  The move to
820 from 830 improves audibility of this in the metro-Boston area since, at
least during aurora, interference from WNYC-820 is nowhere near as tough as
that from WCRN-830.  With the new arrangement, the slop from local WEEI-850
is also less of a problem. [Connelly-MA]

1110 | VENEZUELA | R. Carupano, YVQT, Carupano, OCT 25 0202 - sports
coverage, advertising for local Porlamar businesses; loud, over WBT.
[Connelly-MA]

1375.02 | ST. PIERRE ET MIQUELON | RFO, St. Pierre, OCT 20 0410 - emotional
female vocal; excellent. [Connelly-MA]
