11/30/08, 540 AM, Canada CBK (CBC Radio One, Regina, SK, per web data and Maple Leaf - thx, leaf!), positive ID at 1258 UTC with news break. Not sure whether pop/rock music heard between 1100-1338 UTC also CBK or other. Definitely not the usual Spanish language powerhouse normally on 540 here. SINPO - 32422 (N. Central TX)
A first for me in N. Central Texas on indoor portable. Apparently Magnavox D2935 has sharper Q than I'd realized for MW on internal loopstick. Had to fidget radio around just so within a half-inch range to null out powerful Spanish language station.
1100-1200 UTC
Billy Joel - Uptown Girl
Motels - Only the Lonely
Rolling Stones - Start Me Up
Sting - Fields of Gold
1200- UTC
Robert Palmer - Some Like it Hot
Solid as a Rock
Beatles - Get Back (faded abruptly during song)
1253z: Cyndi Lauper - Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (barely audible)
1258z: Announcer mention of name Terry O., Terrio or Therrio?, reference to "Vinyl Cafe", possible IDs, obscured by fade and QRM. News, started with story about Mumbai terrorism event; Canadian references to federal government, economic crisis, and Prime Minister Steven/Stephen (last name unclear)? CBC or CBK ID. News break sounded like our U.S. PBS material, Morning Edition, etc.
1304z: Faded, barely audible under QRM from Mexican station.
1336z: Traveling Wilburys
1338z: Berlin - Take My Breath Away (suddenly faded out after local dawn)
