Things I heard, times in UTC:

Prior to 0938 I was hearing a Spanish speaking station.

At 0938 I was getting accented English and a time check for 4:38 AM.
Then into a reggae version of Simon and Garfunkle's 'Bridge over
Troubled Water'. I think this may have been the Jamaican station.

At 0947 the beginning of a Salvation Army program in English faded up,
not sure who this may have been.

At 0958 the Spanish speaking station faded up again and there was a nice
echo announcement "Para todo la pais..." and a possible mention of
Baranquilla, which would be the Colombian. I think this may have been
the dominant Spanish station I had been hearing after WGN cut its
carrier.

Here in Ohio, CHTN from Prince Edward Island was dominant with rock n roll
oldies. The Jamaican/Colombian were in and out underneath. Didn't hear the
Salvation Army program. There was a low-frequency het, probably some drifty
Central/South American (there's a few low-powered Mexicans on 720). All this
was awash in a background of line noise and digital hash that seems to plague
my neighborhood. But no KDWN.

Equipment used last night:

Drake R7A
Kiwa air-core MW loop
75' wire

Guess that just shows how propagation can be, I would have been happy hearing
PEI, but alas, no trace whatsoever of any rock n roll oldies!

I did just dig out a tape I made years ago, and was lucky enough to save as I
usually tape over everything! of the Jamaican on 700 when WLW was off. A really
good reception, I wish I had dated the tape.
