24 JANUARY 2010:   Was out primarily for European Pirates on this micro-DXpedition.  The few ZYs left on 60 meters were quite good.  Better than they have been this season.  Should have checked 31 meters but didn't.

BOLIVIA   3310  R. Mosoj Chaski  0908 almost NA-sounding LA song at t/in, then W and M anncrs at 0909 w/ment of Mosoj Chaski.  Also gave numbers.  Nice haunting instru. Flute CP mx as filler, then M anncr.  Decent strength but noise was too high.  (24 Jan)
