to good signal during the last few days of the month until 0100 UTC
(October) pattern/power switch and then gone, relog and made much easier
now using the North D-KAZ.  (TROMP-MI)


1550 KRPI Ferndale, WA. - 0100 UTC 10/28/2015.  See KGA log, the same
applies to KRPI, which hasn't been heard here since the DX test several
years ago.  Now much easier thanks to the North D-KAZ combined with
end-of-October long haul western enhancement.  (TROMP-MI)

1710 CHIM-FM - Timmons, Ontario (presumed) - 2253 UTC 10/24/2015 - With
Christian pop music and unintelligible modulation that I believe to
actually be FM.  Audio is terrible in AM mode, but switching to FM during
good signal peaks actually produced decent and rich audio during the music
selections.  ID's as "CHIM-FM 92.7", best on North D-KAZ, relog.  (TROMP-MI)


And now the bonus log...

1755 Valencia Radio, Palma, Baleraric Islands of Spain - 2236 UTC
10/29/2015 - Very weak reception of Valencia Radio, part of a network of
coastal maritime stations located in Spain, broadcasting in
upper-sideband.  This particular station, 1755 kHz, is located in Palma,
the capital city of the Balearic Islands in Spain.  Although extremely
weak, two mentions of "Valencia" can be heard in the clip which was also
parallel to an even weaker transmission heard on 1767 kHz from Cabo Gata
during the same time.  Heard on the North D-KAZ, video clip here:
