I had set my alarm for 1:30 AM EST (0630 UTC), but when it rang I shut
it off and made the mistake of laying there! I was listening to WGN on
the radio when I went to sleep, and fortunately the test tones that were
being transmitted woke me up at 2:50 AM EST (0750 UTC).

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.

At 1029 WGN turned the transmitter back on, so the fun was over!

No definite ID's on any other USA stations. I was hoping for Nevada or
possibly Alaska.

I was using the R8B and 70' and 200' wires.
