I ran two captures, one at 8 p.m. EDT / 3 SEP (0000 UTC / 4 SEP) and one an hour later.
The first was on the peak 75 deg. / null 255 deg. (TA) antenna and the other on the peak 165 deg. / null 345 deg. (LA) antenna.
Lower band TA's from the Mediterranean region (and southward) were pretty good on the first capture. Spain 855, Algeria 531, Morocco 612, Mauritania 783, Canaries 1008, and Egypt 864 were among the bigger blasters. Also, with WBZ IBOC off, two interesting things were noted: Their top-of-hour time pip is spot-on instead of 8-10 sec. late AND Spain 1044 was sitting pretty with no IBOC frying eggs to pester it.
The second capture on the southerly antenna showed a lot of the usual Cubans, Puerto Ricans, and Colombians. Best Venezuelan was 750 Caracas.
I saw Bruce's email below and looked into the domestic channels on the south antenna capture (0100 UTC).
1150 WDEL-DE mix WWDJ-MA
1170 Colombia inbooming, burying semi-local WFPB-MA and WWVA-WV
1330 WWRV-NY over WRCA-MA
1360 WDRC-CT dominant (WLYN-MA is in null)
1370 quite a jumble but WQLL-MD seemed slightly ahead of the pack; WTAB-NC, WDEA-ME, WFEA-NH clanking around under.
None of the above receptions is unusual here.

Interesting domestic DX conditions Saturday evening, 9/3 1900-2000 EDT, perhaps due to an extended period of geomagnetic disturbance. 1150 WDEL Delaware dominant with Phillies baseball, 1170 WWLE Cornwall-Newburgh with R&B/soul oldies, 1330 WHGM Maryland with Smash Hits dominant, 1360 WTOC New Jersey with Radio Transformacion over WDRC Hartford, 1370 WJIP Ellenville with NY Mets baseball (1450 WKIP listed as affiliate) over local WFEA Manchester. Still more frequencies to check in RF spectrum captures...
