DX has been going well here on Cape Cod lately with all the auroral activity.
Rather than have everyone wait two weeks or so for me to get new audio onto my HTML links page and to type up an IDXD/DXWW type report with a lot of detail, I'll share some new audio clips right now. All times / dates are UTC (= EDT + 4 hrs.).
1530 Sao Tome VOA easily beating down the WCKY competition. Yankee Doodle sign-on and Voice of America mention.

760 Fortaleza, Brazil really booming in last night - well into the evening (~11 p.m. EDT) so not just a sunset visitor. Should be possible in other parts of the US, including Bev-equipped DXers near the Great Lakes (T. Tromp, N. Kaz).
