TA's were booming in here on Cape Cod last night.
The three strongest British stations were so loud that I thought I was in a boat within sight of Beachy Head Light.
All below were recorded within two minutes of 2200 UTC / 5 p.m. EST on Sat., 20 JAN 2018.
1215: Absolute Radio UK (two recordings)

1089: TalkSport UK
https://app.box.com/s/194j09dsc2yvjzo4m0wpa1hx2u051nw5
909: BBC Five Live

Not as strong as the "big three" above, but a decent signal here on 810 from BBC Radio Scotland. Considering all the other stations possible on 810, this is remarkably alone / in the clear.

Other UK's in on 693, 882, 1458 et al. though not as worthy of recording.

1008: Netherlands, way better than normal with very little QRM from co-channel Canaries / Spain and adjacent 1010 WINS.

1179: Romania with usual "Radio Romania Actualitati, hora exacta" intro, pips, fanfare music with Morse KS and K. Splatter is from strong daytimer 1170 WFPB Orleans, MA.

1053.1: Libya, 100 Hz high this time. Station seems to go to on-frequency one day to 100 Hz high on others.

Wondering if Sunday at the same time will be equally interesting. Scheduler is set up to record while I watch the Pats.
