I took control of the DXTuners receiver in Waterford, Ireland
from 0008-0125 UTC: 1 SEP [= 8:08 - 9:25 p.m. EDT: 31 AUG].

While tuning I had TotalRecorder running to grab the bandscan
which is divided into 3 MP3 files covering 531-999, 1008-1296,
and 1305-1700 kHz.

Scan results are shown below.  Files are too big for Web posting
or e-mail attachment, but I can send a CD to those interested.
E-mail me with your snail-mail information and I'll see what I
can do.
