Logs, October 13

Very strange conditions tonight.  Signals faded in early, and kept improving until about 2000, then started to fade completely.  By 2100 (local sunset), 48 m was almost completely dead here, the same as in Europe!  Very unusual.

Despite the variable conditions, I was amazed to hear 4 new stations, Readymix, Luxemburg, Klabautermann and Zomerzon!  Great signals form Boomi and Undercover, as always.

6289,9 . . 1748 . Mazda Radio, very weak music and talk at fade in, strongest signal on the band at this very early time (over 3 hours before local sunset),  ID via Iann’s chat.

6280,0 . . 1825 . Radio Boomerang, “Moonlight Shadow”,  ID, 35443, great signal
