Very bad conditions today here. I turned on the radio just before 0800UTC and there was nothing audible on 48 metres at all. After some breakfast I returned to the radio and could hear a few signals but not much. Only by 0930 did conditions improve (slightly). This is what I've managed to hear:
6045: MV Baltic Radio via Juelich heard @ 1230 giving contact details in English and playing rock music. Very strong signal - 55555.
6210: Radio Borderhunter had one of strongest signals this morning. Heard signing on @ 1010 talking about the strange propagation and playing Ike & Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits." SINPO 44433.
6220: Mystery Radio playing Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean," @ 0900, but some splash from Transworld Radio on 6230 (very strong). SINPO 33433.
6265: Premier Radio Int with oldies @0905, but utility QRM adding to the problems. SINPO 23432.
6285: Radio Kentucky with schlager @ 0945. Signal fading in and out. SINPO 34333.
6305: Radio Valencia playing schlager @ 0920. SINPO 34333.
