[Connelly*P-MA]
585 SPAIN, RNE1, Madrid, MAR 11 0015 - man in SS (not // 576);

594 PORTUGAL, Muge / unID's, MAR 11 0016 - cluster w/ woman in PP
slightly o/ classical music (Germany ?) & possible AA: a messy
channel ! [Connelly*P-MA]

so be on the look-out. [Connelly*P-MA]
675 FRANCE, France-Inter, Marseille, MAR 11 0025 - man in FF; loud /
dominant; music (from Netherlands) way under. It was good to hear
this. At home, it's blocked by WRKO. [Connelly*P-MA]
675 NETHERLANDS / FRANCE, MAR 11 0101 - Dutch talk and FF talk
mixing; France slightly stronger. [Connelly*P-MA]

Slavic talk by man; poor in slop. [Connelly*P-MA]
711 WESTERN SAHARA (Occupied by Morocco), Laayoune, MAR 11 0108 -

CKAC slop. [Connelly*P-MA]

violin music // 1269; huge, local-like. [Connelly-MA]

(likely Spain or Romania). [Connelly*P-MA]
765 SWITZERLAND, Sottens, MAR 11 0051 - presumably this w/
orchestral music; surprisingly, this was quite a bit weaker
than normal. [Connelly*P-MA]
774 SPAIN, RNE1 synchros, MAR 11 0052 - SS teletalk to good
peaks (but WABC slop that would be easily dumped w/ 2-wire
phasing could not be eliminated w/ the loop). [Connelly*P-MA]
783 SYRIA, Tartus, MAR 11 0052 - AA vocal o/ others; some CFDR
slop. [Connelly*P-MA]
819 EGYPT, Batra, MAR 11 0053 - HUGE (smoking WNYC-820) w/ AA
Koranic vocal; apparent SS talk way under. [Connelly*P-MA]
828 SPAIN, OCR, Barcelona, MAR 11 0054 - bits of SS talk through
growl and pesky WCRN slop. [Connelly*P-MA]
837 AZORES, RDP, Barrosa, MAR 11 0022 - folk vocal // 666; fair,
atop the channel. [Connelly*P-MA]
837 SPAIN // CANARY ISLANDS, COPE synchros, MAR 11 0041 - SS talk
came way up, rolling o/ Azores & others. Stronger than WHAS/Cuba -
840. [Connelly*P-MA]
837 unID, MAR 11 0024 - EE talk & jazz / blues music briefly
popped up over Azores and Spain-Canaries. This may have been
one of the UK locals. [Connelly*P-MA]

[Connelly*P-MA]
855 SPAIN, RNE1 synchros, MAR 11 0039 - jazz-pop vocal // 864,
then man & woman in SS; local-type signal, way o/ others.
[Connelly*P-MA]
864 SPAIN, Socuellamos, MAR 11 0038 - Deodato-type jazzy
instrumentation & a male vocal, // 855; o/ AA music (Egypt).

man & woman w/ EE talk, o/ SS talk and third station (Yugo. or
German ?) with Muzak. [Connelly*P-MA]

[Connelly*P-MA]
909 UNITED KINGDOM, BBC R. 5 synchros, MAR 11 0035 - EE talk mentioned
"on 909", then discussion of recent newspaper articles; to good peak.
[Connelly*P-MA]
954 SPAIN, R. Espana, Madrid / unID, MAR 11 0059 - SS talk o/u music
that was probably the Czech. Big-band slop from WPEN (a total non-
performer on the phased wires) was raising havoc on the loop.
[Connelly*P-MA]
963 FINLAND (t), MAR 10 0032 - unfamiliar-language talk by man &
woman (quite possibly Finnish); atop second station (Portugal,
apparently) that had music // 594. [Connelly*P-MA]
981 ALGERIA, Algiers, MAR 11 0110 - flutes, big het clobbering
WCAP-980. [Connelly*P-MA]
1008 NETHERLANDS, R. 5, Flevoland, MAR 11 0055 - likely this with
tone tests; loud, similar to WINS-1010 strength. [Connelly*P-MA]

good peak. [Connelly*P-MA]
1035 ITALY, Florence & Milan, MAR 10 2355 - II male vocal // 846;
fair, another station was way behind (maybe a UK local ?). WBZ,
at a right angle to Europe, was easily nulled with the loop.
[Connelly*P-MA]
1044 SPAIN, SER, San Sebastian et al., MAR 10 2356 - man in SS;
o/ growl. [Connelly*P-MA]
1053 UNITED KINGDOM, TalkRadio UK synchros, Start Point et al.,
MAR 10 2350 - EE teletalk w/ female presenter; excellent, o/
music station that may have been Morocco, Spain, or Romania.
[Connelly*P-MA]
1071 unID, MAR 11 0113 - huge het, but too much CBA for audio.
I needed Drake filters here, instead of the ICF-2010. [Connelly*P-MA]
1089 UNITED KINGDOM, TalkRadio UK synchros, Brookmans Park et al.,
MAR 10 2357 - EE teletalk // 1053; good to excellent, wasting WBAL.
[Connelly*P-MA]
1098 SPAIN, RNE5 synchros / SLOVAKIA Nitra, MAR 11 0115 - SS talk
mixed w/ Muzak. Spain generally atop. Growl was noted at times.
