It was definitely feeling like Halloween spookiness when it came to
propagation here in the North Atlantic last evening as per logs below.
Signals were ever changing quickly throughout the evening on certain
frequencies.
A strange occurrence with the two stations audible on 693 and 918 still
remaining a mystery, not in determining what they were but why they were
audible on those particular frequencies.
