There seemed to be a great many TA hets/carriers last night around 0430 UTC (10:30pm Central) on the Sony 7600GR, with occasional Spanish-language audio on 585, and what sounded like Spanish talk (along with music) on 1134-which had one of those rare nights where it was strong enough to actually punch through the IBOC hash between 1130 & 1140! Not sure on the language, though, as Croatia's Spanish program supposedly ends at 0400, a half-hour before I heard this, and I have trouble believing one of those 5 or 10kW COPE synchronized transmitters in Spain would be that strong this far inland. It was audible in full AM mode-no selectable-sideband needed! Also had a strong carrier on 1215 but as usual no audio (it also has fierce IBOC hash to blast through). My usual bellwether of Spain-684 was nowhere to be found (and it too has a heap o'IBOC crud to penetrate). Had carriers and/or hets on domestic channels, on 603, 612, 621, 882, 909, 999, 1125, 1161, and a fairly strong carrier on 1296.
