Its a pity, you couldnt listen to the german pirates and we germans could not listen to the british and irish stations. Maybe in autumn or winter conditions get better. Greetings and thanks for logs. DJ Dipol

Skip conditions should improve as we head towards winter for daytime reception, but we will lose the night time reception on 48 metres.

An interesting log of WMR on 6400.Is this the hoax WMR again???

uk dxer said...

I wondered that. If it is, the hoaxer has increased his power to match WMR. Have to see if Jack Russell leaves any messages on the forums to say it wasn't him last night!
