Very impressive list Sylvain. I agree that night was the best of the
season thus far. I only heard about 7 or 8 TA's with audio, but that
still rates as the best night of the season. Did add Iran on 1116 to
the log for a new one.
You mentioneed Ürümqi on 1521. Certainly haven't heard that this
season, but it's still the only overseas station I've heard both
during TA DXing in the evening and during TPs in the morning. That was
back in the glory days of 2009.

Hi All,
Last week on Oct 31 / Nov 1 around 00:00 UTC, Halloween night has
much more to offer than candiesas propagation was at its best so far
this seasonhere. Iran for instance, was all over the place with 17
stations logged from the top to the bottom of the band. Here's an
interesting sample where two strong stations were battling for the
1st place on 1575 featuring UAE and IRN:

I also had the nice surprise to relog after a two years absence,
China's CRI from Ürümqi on 1521 with Russian programming. The
ID"Radio Kitaya" was given at 00:00. Here's a sample where signal was
at his bestat 00:03 UT: http://www.quebecdx.com/mp3/china_1521a.mp3
There was no trace however of the other Chinese on 1098 that I've
heard the last two years.
