Mostly speculation about what the DX would be if there was any DX.

pretty darn good audio (all of it understandable by a native speaker, at least briefly):

not so

Reasonable audio at times during the period (much of it understandable by a native speaker, though often battling with splash or noise):

the above passing through

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

nothing to see here. (or hear here, more accurately)

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

612 4QR mostly mumbling before 1500UT, but ABC fanfare quite readable

774 JOUB man talking, Japanese intonation 1459UT then pips

1017 man talking, island speech? 1517UT

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

594 603 693 747 972 1323 1566 seemed to be Asian;
594 702 738 756 846 891 1026 seemed to be DU

The doldrums are back...never went away perhaps.

594 JOAK woman in Japanese 1520UT

576 2RN thought this was an exotic unID; deep voiced man talking 1443UT interspersed with vibraphone notes, and didn't sound quite English. But it matched up with a BBC program on the Congo, rebroadcast on RN, with accented men having their say.

612 man DU English? 1518UT

774 man talking, Japanese intonation 1508UT, briefly

828 man talking, Japanese intonation 1444UT

Not quite Colorado perhaps, but a definite improvement, if hearing some of the previously regular big guns is an improvement. Well, I guess it is.

594 JOAK 1525UT topping out with man in Japanese

not so reasonable audio, occasional words or phrases in splash or noise could be understood by a native speaker:

603 HLSA jazzy soft music 1522UT; had been ID'd a few minutes earlier with //558 on the Kiwi SDR in South Korea

747 JOIB 1522UT

774 JOUB 1440UT; also pretty good with anthem and music box at 1530UT sign off

Burbles in the splatter and noise (if lucky, language might be guessed at by cadence of talk, or parallel established by changes in talk or music)

567 JOIK brief audio, man //594 1524UT

972 man and woman talking, Korean intonation 1510UT

1566 man talking, Russian intonation 1648UT; this one took awhile to deliver, for sure.

Strongish het, no or "near imaginary" audio (either undermodulated or ravaged by splatter)

693 828 873 seemed to be Asian;
1017 seemed to be DU

They're semi-local to me. I have never heard them in anything but
English. There's barely any Hispanic population in that part of central
NY, and they're a little too far from Syracuse to reach the Hispanic
community there.

WYBY on 920 in Cortland NY is a religious station, but I am not sure if they broadcast in Spanish.
