[Connelly-MA]

peak. [Connelly-MA]
1044 SPAIN, SER, San Sebastian et al., JAN 24 0127 - SS talk /
news by man; good o/ low rumble. + JAN 26 0327 - man w/ SS news;
fair. [Connelly-MA]
1062 DENMARK, Danmarks R., Kalundborg, JAN 24 0533 - Danish talk
poor to fair. Northern Europe was a bit below par at the time.
+ JAN 26 0550 - huge, local-like w/ fast Danish talk and segments
of jazz inserted between the periods of talk. [Connelly-MA]
1089 UNITED KINGDOM, TalkRadio synchros, JAN 24 0111 - talk about
readers of a magazine that prints material resisting the spread of
modern technology; excellent signal at the time. [Connelly-MA]

[Connelly-MA]

[Connelly-MA]
1440 SAUDI ARABIA, Dammam, JAN 26 0215 - a pleasant surprise here
// 1521 w/ piercing a cappella Koranic female AA vocal that had what
it took to cut through WWTM, WLPZ, and the rest of the domestic
sludge. It was running about even w/ the domestics at S9+20
(about 20 dB weaker than the 1521 juggernaut). This is not often
heard in the USA, even though it's a pest in Newfoundland. The
extended Ramadan schedule helped. [Connelly-MA]
1476 UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, Dubai (t), JAN 30 0145 - likely this
w/ bits of AA music surfacing briefly, gone by 0150. The channel

WZOU/WSRO-1470 on the other. [Connelly-MA]

or political speech; loud. + JAN 26 0212 - huge w/ shrill a cappella
female AA vocal // 1440; S9+40, annihilating S9+25 WWKB. This was
on extended schedule for Ramadan. [Connelly-MA]
1530 SAO TOME & PRINCIPE, VOA, Pinheira, JAN 30 0334 - US EE sports
report about African teams popped up o/ nulled WSAI. It was the VOA
African Service // 7405. [Connelly-MA]
* PAN-AMERICAN DX *
1375 ST. PIERRE ET MIQUELON, JAN 30 0304 - Donna Summer's "She
Works Hard for the Money"; not only was the signal super-strong
(that's common here), but the audio was also really good for a
change. [Connelly-MA]
