891 KHz Radio Thailand - Nong Khae

I logged this station on 20th. October 2010 at 1700 utc.
I first filed this one as a unid.
But today the guys of RealDX solved this unid
as Radio Thailand from Nong Khae with the
national anthem during their close down at 1700 utc.
Which is another personal first.
On the back/foreground you can hear my
local Radio 538 from HOL.

680 Khz CFTR from Toronto ON-Canada

During this mornings TA session I observed
that 680News was clearly readable.
Normally this channel is blocked by
the Dutch "Radio Maria" from Lopik
on 675 KHz with her 60 KW power but
was lucky enough not on air at this time of reception.

Radio Puerto Cabello from Venezuela

This was received on 13 October at 0600 utc on 1290 KHz
with the PM-SDR receiver and the KAZ antenna.
At 20 seconds there is a clear ID:
"Radio Puerto Cabello........por la hora, la una y trenta
minutos................Mexico y sus estrellas..".
Thanks goes to fellow DX'er Max van Arnhem from the Netherlands
who is very well known with the spanish language and
identified this one for me.
