Re: [HCDX]: Activities on 12140 kHz

It might be worthwile to watch this frequency. I heard weak signals here
this morning, too. The language sounded like English. The signal faded out
about 0715z. I doubt that this transmission comes from Fiji, though. I am
not a propagation expert but I'm not sure that a 50W voice signal would find
its way to Europe ;-)
