FRANCE 17800+ kHz, on Nov 14 at 1517 UT, Minitransat special still going 2 days after original finish, meteo in French by OM, then YL in French with rankings deuxieme, troisieme, etc., etc.

17800-DRM kHz, on Nov 14 at 1722 UT, YL again with lo-fi 8.08 kbps rank- ings in French, mixing in numbers in English, via Maryland SDR, SNR 21 dB, S=9+5dB. (Glenn Hauser-OK-USA, hcdx and wor Nov 14)

I'm guessing these broadcasts will continue until all the boats have arrived safely in Guadeloupe. They can be tracked on the race website:
