The recent discovery of dust-correlated diffuse microwave emission has prompted two rival explanations: free-free emission and spinning dust grains. We present new detections of this component at 10 and 15 GHz by the switched-beam Tenerife experiment. The data show a turnover in the spectrum and thereby supports the spinning dust hypothesis. We also present a significant detection of synchrotron radiation at 10 GHz, useful for normalizing foreground contamination of CMB experiments at high-galactic latitudes.
