UPDATES to Orleans, MA, USA DXpedition report
(Mark Connelly, WA1ION - Times / dates = UTC / 2013)

Mauno Ritola in Finland happened to be running Perseus captures at the 
same time I was DXing at the Tonset Road site in Orleans, MA.  I thank 
him very much for going over my report and audio files to sort out some 
of the unidentified and tentative logs.

Here are revised listings which should replace the original items as 
noted below.
