Just because it's almost the longest day of the year, DX is far from dead on the East Coast as evidenced by the forwarded correspondence below.

The man and woman in talk mentioned Rosario at various times. Just before 0030 3 pips with last one longer. Mixing with another station toward the end of the file.

Will make MP3 copies of these stations.
1309.725 Carrier - may be HJAK Columbia.
1640 2 stations. One Spanish with music and the o ther a TIS
0043 Ant. 140 Deg.
770 // 810 // 850 // 990 all // and in Spanish. maybe Colombia.
1120 Columbia - Cadena Radial Vida, Pereira - ID. at 0045 and 0046 as Radio Cadena. In the mix.
1170 Columbia - Caracol R, Cartagena - T -
0100 140 Deg. first 2 minutes then 180 Deg. from 0058 to 0102
700 A mix of stations with one with 6 pips, last one longer.
Many frequencies on lower side of band clogged w/ Latins bu t upper part saying to me to go home.

Also on 760 PTR. WORA with a man sluring a sound and saying, Puerto Rico.
810 WKVM PTR. Into singing ID. in strong with Brazil under them with a game.
1190 Pips under NY.
That's it. Not a bad night with a 12ft. stick 4 miles from home.
Now will go to Global tuners to check on these and find pips to match stations.
Maybe Argentina went from 5 or 6 pips to 3, and maybe Columbia has 6. Who knows.

Roy, that seems like a pretty good Latin America session and you didn't have to drive way out to Chatham or Orleans to pull it off.
A few comments:
<<
1200 Brazil - Portuguese talk by a woman under WXKS. She was the center of attention with a man talking at times. At ti mes on LSB bursts almost equal to Boston. - A surprise. Which one, Fortaleza or Sao Paulo?
>>
Fortaleza was the sunset regular in the pre-WXKS days before YVOZ would start to join the fray.
I remember an early '90s aurora when I was at Windmill Beach, South Yarmouth. At or just before sunset 1190 was Natal, Brazil; 1197 was monster Lesotho (even coming in on ICF-2010 portable); and 1200 Fortaleza. Think 1206 had something African (Mozambique maybe?).
<<
680 SS under and even with Boston at times.
>>
Probably WAPA at that early time. Colombia gets in the stew later.
<<
620 Brazil - Portuguese - mostly talk then some music - Mountain Dew add. WZON on top most of file. Also in the mix heard 2 pips, last one longer. These pips the first being covered up could be Argentina.
>>
Most likely Fortaleza based on previous receptions at Tonset Rd. site in Orleans.
<<
750 In passing was like a graveyard channel.
>>
Had Brazil v. Venezuela shoot-out at Chatham once with CBGY aurora-weakened..
<<
910 Could be WLAT New Britain, CT. SS Tropical - "LA Mega" Ident. at start and also at 0030 with 4 descending note, 3 times.
>>
Yes.
<<
1190 Argentina - R. Nal., San Miguel de Tucuman - Location about 300 miles NNW. of 700 Codoba. A fast clicking sound, maybe like a cow bell, then ID at 0028:20. Man said Nacional and at 0030:03 3 pips with last pip longer. This under WLIB.
>>
Had "R. America" Argie once before Colombia and P.R. stations faded up.
<<
1270 Argentina - LS11 - R. Provincia de Buenos Aires, La Plata - Started coming in around 0029 or just before under WTSN with Red Sox game. In about I minute with singing Identification Mention of Valencia.- Strong pips at 0030 with 3 pips, last one longer. Then gone to WTSN rest of file. A surprise catch.
>>
Maybe a US-first, at least in the modern (last 25 years) era. Bill W., Bruce C., and Kaz can mention if ever logged in Maine. Usually too much CJCB / WTSN dogfight to log much else on 1270 here 3 miles inland.
<<
1309.725 Carrier - may be HJAK Columbia.
>>
Undoubtedly.
<<
1120 Columbia - Cadena Radial Vida, Pereira - ID. at 0045 and 0046 as Radio Cadena. In the mix.
>>
Possibly another modern-era US first. P.R. is usual 1120 foreign DX here.
<<
Also on 760 PTR. WORA with a man sluring a sound and saying, Puerto Rico.
>>
Should be // 630 NotiUno network.
Feel free to send along a USB stick with this outing and your last Chatham session.
Maybe you can cull out some of the more interesting catches and format up a report for Bruce's column to inject some summer fun in the loggings.
