[IRCA] ULTRALIGHT DX....My 2nd TransAtlantic!! NEW COUNTRY England!!

[Robert Ross <va3sw@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Guys:

  After falling asleep on the couch last night.......and waking up at 2330 
EST to see all the messages of everyone logging TransAtlantics all over the 
place, I decided to pull out the ETON E-100 Slider and see what I could 
hear!! I was hoping that I was not too late and they were all gone!!

I was able to hear 1134 Croatia again for a relog...they were doing quite 
well!! This is the Only Trans Atlantic I have logged previously...so even 
though it was fun to hear again...it was nothing new.

I started at the bottom of the Band and worked my way up. I found a Rather 
Strong signal on 693 Khz...and it was in ENGLISH!!! That was 
great.......and soon thereafter I was able to ID it as the BBC ....for a 
New ULTRALIGHT Country of England!!

I had another fairly strong signal with Audio on 675 Khz.....in a foreign 
language...but I wasn't able to ID the Language OR the Station!!

Anyways.....a New Country for the ULR Logbook....and a New Station too!!

If anyone has any idea who the 675 may have been...or maybe logged this at 
the same time I did....I'd be happy to hear what it was???

Radio Used was..........ETON E-100 Slider with Murata Filter

ULR LOG TOTALS are now.............621 Stations heard.
