Today i returned from a vacation on the Georgia and South Carolina coasts.
On 4.4.10 ,i dxed in the evening from Tybee Island,Georgia near Savannah.
Here is a brief summary of what was heard mostly from our hotel balcony about a football field from the Atlantic .I include only the non -U.S. stations.

1180 Cuba Radio Rebelde 2348-0005 EDT.E-100 barefoot.good.
These Cubans plus others were heard from Isle of Palms,S.C. and Litchfield Beach,S.C. over the next 2 nights.I would say that the best night was 4.5.10 from the Isle of Palms ,S.C..That session will be in part 2.
I heard no TA stations during any of the sessions although i had a strong het from 1521 on 4.4.10.However,no audio.A faint het was heard the next 2 nights.This no doubt was because of the auroral conditions on those 2 nights.
