Unbelievable new log last night, ionosphere on fire! 10/28/18

C

I'm still in shock. This is a new country and continent for me, out of nowhere.

680 - HJZO COLOMBIA, Barranquilla; faint music under KNBR on the loop at 0145 PT, went back several times until it got stronger at 0210 PT and heard ID 'Radio Nacional de Colombia' and some other words in SS that I couldn't decipher. Then tropical/salsa music matching stream as it faded back into threshold signal. OMG!!!! NEW #767, 50KW at 3,630 miles!!! New continent, new country, new everything! Usually the weak station on 680 under KNBR is *CJOB*.........not last night! They were the only station under KNBR. What a shocker to hear in eastern WA. I thought I had to go to the East Coast to hear this type of stuff.

Other notes:
640 Radio Progreso Cuba was armchair last night when KFI was phased.
850 'You are listening to KICY, Nome' and back into Russian programming at 0200. Wow!!! This was almost over KOA, and twice the distance.
NHKs like 567 JOIK and 747 JOIB were well into audio at 0200 in fact, 747 was louder than KXTG/KOAL.
Weak ESPN on 590, KXSP Omaha NE
710 KXMR Bismarck ND on night power, weak under KIRO/Cuba but // 1390 Fox Sports.
760 WJR Detroit with Red Eye, easy over KDSP.

This ionosphere is RED HOT right now, let's keep it going! :)
 
I logged a station coming out of Baranquilla in the late 1980's with a boombox and spiral loop. There were less stations on the channels back then. I think it was during the last part of the transition to most stations being 24/7. I also heard a station in Los Mochis, Sinaloa that night. That was awesome. Nothing like DXing on a boombox, with headphones, and hearing southern Sinaloa Mexico around 5 in the morning.
