WBAS 1240 has been silent at least 24 hours now.
They are local to me at ~5 miles / 8 km on a southwesterly bearing. I don't usually get much through them so this silence is a DX opportunity.
WSKI-VT and WOON-RI were quickly picked off in a sunset period capture yesterday. I suspect that a lot more could surface so I'm just running a single channel Total Recorder audio grabbing session (started about 4:30 p.m. EDT / 2030 UTC). I'll let this roll 4 or 5 hours and will switch antenna a couple of times just to change things up.
1230 (WESX / WCMC / WGUY / WBLQ typically) and 1250 (WMTR / WKBR mostly) are a lot more in the clear. 1233, 1242, and 1251 are TA channels that may be improved here.
