Jalisco Radio, a new one for me. Their 6-note doorbell chime after the Mexican National Anthem gives this one away and really jumps out of the noise:
630_Khz_XEPBGL_31AU18_1100_UTC.mp3
Heard on the Southwest phased BOGs at sunrise, 1,844 miles.

MW Loggings / Michigan auroral logs: Aug.26th, 2018
« on: August 27, 2018, 2336 UTC »
Instead of chasing Pacific carriers Sunday morning on the western BOGs, I found myself scrambling in the dark to get temporary feedlines setup from the shack to the South DKAZ to take advantage of the auroral conditions. With just a few minutes to spare, I managed to kickoff a spectrum recording covering the 7am / 11:00 UTC TOH. Later review exposed a pipeline into Texas including several new TX logs.

MW Loggings / 1089 Talksport, UK & 1550 KRPI Washington 13 Aug 2018 into Michigan

0230 UTC: 1089 Talksport, UK fair at times with sports talk and slight echo heard on signal peaks (they run multiple transmitters on the channel). Relog but interesting to hear Trans-Atlantic stuff during the summer months.
0924 UTC: 1550 KRPI Ferndale, WA. over/under CBEF with South Asian chanting. This one really stands out and easy to parallel against their webstream. Relog but nice to hear again, especially in early August!
Both heard while testing the remote terminated D-KAZ loop which I just rebuilt. Looks like things are working!

MW Loggings / November 2017 Michigan BCB logs, including China
« on: December 03, 2017, 1711 UTC »
November was a good month that kicked off with China being heard for the first time on medium wave. Station #2,100 was logged with the totals currently standing at 2,109 stations logged since 2009 (I don't count call letter changes). November had a little aurora that brought in a slew of new Southern stations and November also had a few good nights of Trans-Atlantic reception that included time pips on 1080 on the 27th @ 03:00 UTC matching those of Spain. Aussie reception is long over from this suburban location and probably won't resurface again until the Spring Equinox approaches.

Saw reports a few days ago of someone playing rock music here. Checked tonight and caught the Rolling Stones "It's Only Rock 'n Roll" at 2229 UTC followed by a few seconds of dead air and carrier off at 2231 UTC. No announcement heard. This definitely was not Radio Madagasikara! Nothing scheduled on 5010 during this time that I could find. S7 signal with decent audio until the plug was pulled.
