Unbelievable auroral conditions
Warm greetings ! Huge opening to South America including Andean pop music on
1070 AM badly jammed by WTIC-1080 Stalinist jammer, YVRQ and Cadena Agramonte
fighting on 910 AM and several in the 800s including at least two Latins on 860
in null of aurora weakened CJBC-860 Toronto. One of them is LA Q, obviously not
XEQ which is on 940.
May the good DX be with you! Conditions are way above average almost
spectacular, something I haven`t seen since December of 2006 (Bogdan Chiochiu,
