0905-0926 utc two women talking religion on 1610 kHz.   Mostly weak signal and some interference from HAR's stations on the channel.  Signal has rapid fading and is heard on all three antennas at equal strength.  It seems the women have opposing views on the topic.  Hard to really follow because

This should be the Caribbean Beacon station on Anguilla, Dennis, I think. With the very disturbed conditions of late, propagation to the south is enhanced big time (or nothing is propagating from the north)..Walt Salmaniw, Victoria, BC 0905-0926 utc two women talking religion on 1610

Didn't get to MW until later due to good Pacific beacon conditions due to the solar activity, but very good Down Under results. Many hets over the whole band with some audio, some rising to decent level at times. 1321-1355 utc (891 the last to fade out at 1355). 567, 594, 621, 657, 702, 738,

On this solemn morning, I began listening to the bands at 13:07 UTC, along with Nick Hall-Patch's DX Fishbarrel. The picture was not pretty! Almost a complete wipe-out of any signals, and those that were present were attenuated, and exclusively from DU. Not a single Asiatic this morning. SF:

Paul, Walt Thanks for the information on the Caribbean Beacon station on Anguilla. I found a recording on a DX website and it sounded like the format that I heard earlier this morning.  Caught some audio on the R-30 CC connected to the H-900 Probe antenna that sits on the night stand.     Dennis,

I was checking a few frequencies about 15 minutes ago looking for (yes, I'll admit it) Radio Disney. KMIK 1580 (the one I normally listen to at night) had too much co-channel interference from KBLA, 1290 KKDD was unreadable in the muck, so I checked 1110. There I heard a weak KDIS, along with

Great catch! I checked and KBND sounds like their normal 5 KW at 150 miles to the SE. At night off the Eastern beverage they mix with KFAB. KDIS is extremely rare here. The old KRLA was fairly common in the the 60s 70s, but they must have changed their pattern in later years, as KDIS is real
