Unimpressive here too, but R. Sucre did make another appearance on 700, just after midnight. 720 is growly for good reason - there are no less than four stations heard here at night that are far enough off-frequency to create an audible het. I've made it a bit of a personal project to sort out the 720 scene, but I still have a ways to go. Here's what I've determined so far: 719.904 YNRC R. Catolica, Nicaragua 719.952 RJR Jamaica 719.999 XEAVR R. Formula, Veracruz 720.000 WGN 720.003 R. Progreso, Cuba (tentative) 720.067 UNID 720.102 UNID The 720.067 UNID is intriguing. I know that they play a lot of lively Latino music, and that they sign off at 0300z. They also seem to be slowly drifting downward in frequency, as they were on 720.070 a week or two ago. No clues about the other UNID, except that they also sign off, at either 0300 or 0400. YNRC seems to sign off between 0400 and 0500. RJR is usually the dominant here with WGN nulled, and the most likely source of the growl you heard. Missing in action of late are YVQE Porlamar, which used to be fairly common here, and HJAN Barranquilla, which also showed up from time to time. And that's the 720 nighttime story thus far...
