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.

6450,7 . . 1801 . Radio Readymix, polkas and talk, 24341 at tune in, up to 33442 at 1906 with ID, c/d 2027, returned after 2100, but the band had died by this time
