MW Loggings / Three Stations on 1650 khz Within Three Minutes

Feb 18 2024 UTC

235 UTC

Driving south on Interstate 89, around Springfield, NH, caught the following in quick succession due to fade ins and outs, all on 1650 khz:

"Your Love" by Blessing Offor, presumed CKZW, Montreal, Quebec (1 kw day/night).

"Ek Sanam Chahiye Asshiqui Ke Liye" by Kumar Sanu, presumed CINA, Mississauga, Ontario (0.68 kw nighttime).

Low/faint OM talking in talk-show sounding style/format, presumed WJFZ, Portsmouth, VA (1 kw nighttime).

Not exactly an exotic DXpedition, but always fun to scan/explore while driving.
