610 COLOMBIA, HJKL, Bogota, OCT 11 2325 - SS talk about Colombian
events & people, a business in Monteria, etc. This was followed
by the Latin American equivalent of 1940's big-band jazz. Good
signal, totally dominant during short-lived run of auroral band
conditions. Bits of EE noted later weren't WIP or WGIR, but most
likely just WIOD-FL rather than Trinidad. [Connelly*C-MA]
~~

about public events and charitable organizations in Puerto
Rico; good, totally overriding WPRO/CFCY groundwaves during

690 CUBA, R. Progreso, Jovellanos, OCT 11 2349 - R. Progreso
ID popped out of the stew. A domestic with Limbaugh (presumably

out until after 0100 UTC when "normal" conditions returned.
