I wonder if the 1470 is CJVB Vancouver over the pole....R-L doesn't seem to match anything of significant power.

Picked up WLAM-1470 out of Maine tonight from Northern Ireland. True Oldies Channel mention.

Conditions on the Northern Ireland receiver tonight for me at 0400GMT were lousy to North America.
All I heard was a weaker than normal WBBR on 1130.
No WFAN, or anything else when I tuned in. 700 & 760 were strong German speaking stations. Maybe I tried too early.
 
Conditions on Transatlantic MWDX were poor again tonight, at least for me. Tried at 0430 and again at 0515GMT.
Very poor on the VOCM's and just a fair signal at best on 1130 WBBR. Heard 1520 WWKB poor/fair. That was it for me.

Unfortunately I was looking forward to this MWDX season, but except for a few instances the conditions have been disappointing.
Maybe things will pick up soon (I hope).
