2247: meowing - I know what you mean! Now you're talking my language. Thank you for that!
2254: quiet for several minutes now
2256: hearing the BZT commentary about every 60-70 seconds; QSO of seemingly 2 stations "453 code 7"

Thank you for the show! Informative AND entertaining.

Fairly good signal overall.

The station with sound effects/cat meows/dog barks is a different one from BZT's signal which was strongest listening in the opposite direction. There were two other locations mentioned in the callup after Cayo Lobos, but haven't had luck discerning exactly what they are yet (sounds like East Isle station & Sarania Banks station).

22:56z BZT: "..this is a test and tuning signal for tropical radio & telegraph station BZT located in Bluefields, Nicaragua.." ID recording
22:57z BZT: "..tropical radio telegraph station BZT in Bluefields, Nicaragua is currently holding traffic for the following stations; Cayo Lobos station, Cayo Lobos station, Cayo Lobos station, (?) station (3x), (?) station (3x), please QSY channel 453 code number 6, 453 code number 6 QSY, BZT tropical & radio telegraph out.."
22:58z Los Cayos: "..BZT, BZT, BZT, Los Cayos station, Los Cayos, Los Cayos come back BZT.."
22:59z BZT: "..roger, roger, Los Cayos station, this is BZT come back.." Los Cayos: "..uh, BZT, BZT, Los Cayos, Los Cayos, uh, I have traffic for you, I have traffic for you.." BZT: "..roger, roger, Los Cayos, please QSY 453 code 7 please, 453 code 7 QSY roger.." Los Cayos: "..BZT, roger, roger, 453 code 7, 453 code7, Los Cayos QSY.."

I checked both 6453 & 6945.3 and heard nothing so channel 453 is still a mystery like the station.
