[HCDX] Radio Caroline on 945 kHz

["Karel Honzik" <karel-honzik@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
this morning (Saturday, FEB 2) I heard a strong signal of Radio Caroline on
945 kHz.
Not too much strong signal before  0700 UTC, even a signal crisis occured at
around 0700, but then, after 0715 the signal improved much and remained
S9+20 dB without one fade out until 0747. Later getting worse with long fade
outs after 0800...

There was one English DJ before 0700, it seemed to be a pre-midnight
recording ("...will be sitting here from midnight to..."), after 0700 there
were two German DJs, one speaking German, another one speaking English.
Announcements like: "Here is Journey(?) Caroline, back on Radio Caroline
once again..."

Signal disappeared at around 0815 UTC.

I have pulled a new antenna yesterday so I am not too much experienced with
its patterns yet, but I would say the signal has been comming from NE
(Latvia?). But the signal improvement should point to a time of Sunrise in
western parts of Europe. Nothing heard on my portable radio, only France,
due to a high level of noise in this house.

Did I miss the latest news on this relay?

GOOD DX,
