41 Meters Log Report

On November 3, I had an incredible opening on largely 41 meters, with many, many stations heard, including these listed below. There were audible stations as well on many other frequencies including 7160, 7165, 7300, 7305, and others. After several weeks of poor propagation, this was really good DX only dreamed of lately.

TURKEY 7155 kHz, Voice of Turkey, 2058-2123* UTC, in French, with what sounded like a DX show, and then nice program of Turkish music, off after piano interval signal
played one time, at 2123, fine reception at SINPO 44344. November 3.

MADAGASCAR, 7120 kHz, Radio Netherlands, 2052 UTC, English talk, SINPO 33222. November 3.

IRAN, 7130 kHz, VOIRI, 2054 UTC, in Spanish, “La voz de la Republica Islamica,” SINPO 33232. November 3.

I would be curious to know what type of DX was heard at DX Camp at Shadow Lake at this time, 2045-2145 UTC on November 3, especially on 41 meters.

All heard from my city location in Utica, New York, with Grundig YB 400PE with long wire.
