I also had the anthem @ 0000 and several of the 'cuckoo' sounders. There were 
two SS'es in there between 2300 and after 0200.

I had a choral version of the Cuban National Anthem at midnight EDT.  Rebelde has been noted here a couple of times recently.

My observations are similar to others in the northeast: a lot of WZRK and 
WDLR, neither of which should be audible here at night.  And CBE persisted 
with an open carrier long after they pulled the plug on the audio.

I hit the sack soon after midnight, and am still going through my overnight 
recordings.  I found a few interesting things, e.g., the distinctive Radio 
Rebelde interval signal that sounds a bit like a cuckoo clock, at 0159:30 
EDT... anybody else catch them last night?  And, a few seconds later, just 
before 0200, an ID that sounds like "1550 WKTF".  Anybody hear them last 
night?

My biggest challenge continues to be WQEW's IBOC washing out the weak 
signals.  I seem to be in the optimum position to get maximum skywave from 
them.
