[IRCA] Monday night: Latin Americans + some TA's

[Mark Connelly <markwa1ion@xxxxxxx>]

The null-north (~350 deg.) 10m vertical by 11m horizontal (base ht. 2m) 
cardioid-pattern SuperLoop has been proving its worth lately nulling 
Boston, Montreal, Manchester/Rochester/Dover/Portsmouth (NH), and 
Portland (ME) stations.  Tonight I had WAPA San Juan, Puerto Rico often 
atop 680 WRKO Boston.  610 had Cuba (// big 600) slugging it out with 
WIOD-FL with no trace of NH.  It appeared that, at least in the 600-800 
kHz segment, Latin Americans were well represented.

With a flip of the switch over to the 9x15m null-255 deg. (NYC) 
SuperLoop, TA's popped up with usual blasters such as France on 945 
making a good showing.  In general, the lower end of the MW band had 
most of the interesting stuff.  Excessive congestion of domestics in 
the 1220-1600 range tended to make that part of the dial less 
interesting at least at 10 p.m. EDT / 0200 UTC when I checked.  Local 
sunset (5:30-6 p.m. EDT range these days) is when the frequencies above 
1200 kHz seem most productive.
