1610  XEUACH  Chapingo, Estado de Mexico, Mexico  -  March 10 1900-2211 EST  -  CHHA Toronto gone in giant aurora; XEUACH poor to fair on infrequent peaks with eclectic mix of music (it's a university station).  No ID, but they were running about five seconds ahead of their webstream.  National Anthem at 2211; per subsequent webstream monitorings, it can vary from about 2210 to 2220.  Only XE on 1610 as far as I know, and the 86th one here.  

640  KTIB  Thibodaux  LA  -  March 30 2200 EDT  -  Poor to fair in Cuba fade; ending song then "KTIB Thibodaux!" by man.  

1530  WYNE  North East PA  -  April 18 0124-0147  -  Tip alerts on WTFDA's AM list that this sundowner was on with oldies; 0124-0132 Beatles and Four Seasons tunes way under WCKY, running about ten seconds ahead of webstream; finally at 0147 faint "WYNE" mention by man twixt Al Green and Delfonics songs, audible only because WCKY preacher paused between sentences.  Thanks to Roy Barstow and Jeff Lehmann for tips!

910  CM--  Havana, Cuba  -  May 9 0100  -  Briefly in the clear with canned "Radio Metropolitana" ID by woman.  910 #35.  

540  WRGC  Sylva NC  -  July 12 1400  -  ex-680 now fair and alone days; woman with "You're listening to 540 AM WRGC Sylva, Waynesville, Bryson City and Cherokee ... taking a look at your Fraser Fir Community weather update ... ", into Moody Blues' "Tuesday Afternoon."  540 #20.  

1310  WKZD  Priceville AL  -  July 20 0200  -  Ending "Maybellene", then "AM 13-tin [Southern for "ten"] WKZD Priceville, W285EN Priceville", into "You Really Got Me."  Cleans up Alabama regionals!

Vanished at 1856 power and pattern change.  New 50kw day rig is beamed mostly north; the old 10kw one was all south and east.  Thanks to John Cereghin for tip!        

1150  KRMS  Osage Beach MO  -  October 30 0700  -  Fair but atop with "Your #1 source for local news: KRMS Osage Beach, 97.5 KRMS-FM ... ", then CBS news.  1150 #40, no call changes.
