Hi Everyone:
Fantastic opening to Europe this evening. It all
started here just after local sunset around 20:30 MDT and continued thru to
sunrise in Europe which is around 23:00 MDT. Virtually every split frequency I
checked had a carrier, and most had some audio, though faint in most cases.
Unfortunately I wasn't able to listen for the whole opening, however I did
manage to ID 10 stations, one of which was new for me. Unlike other
openings of this magnitude, there were few longwave stations, other than 3 of
the regulars. The frequencies that had carriers were: 153, 189, 198, 531, 549,
558, 576, 585, 657, 684, 711, 738, 747, 756, 774, 819, 837, 855, 873, 882, 891,
936, 945, 954, 972, 1008, 1035, 1044, 1053, 1071, 1089, 1098, 1116, 1125, 1134,
1143, 1152, 1179, 1188, 1197, 1206, 1215, 1224, 1242, 1251, 1278, 1296, 1305,
1314, 1422, 1485, 1494 and 1548.
Those I managed to ID:
189 Iceland 04:57 09/06 with man speaking in the
Icelandic Language
198 United Kingdom 05:03 09/06 Man with a very
English accent reading the news
693 United Kingdom BBC Radio 5 04:45 09/06 Two
men discussing Winston Churchill
864 France Paris 04:42 09/06 Man and woman talking in French.
945 France Toulouse 04:45 09/06 Man speaking
in French. Parallel to 1206. New for me.
1053 United Kingdom 04:32 09/06 Man speaking in
English about sport. Parallel to 1089
1089 United Kingdom 04:34 09/06 Man speaking in
English about sport and // to 1053
1206 France Bordeaux 04:38 09/06 Man speaking in
French and // to 945. This was the best signal of all. S9 at times which enabled
the synchronous detector to lock on giving perfect copy. Now if only I could
speak French fluently!
1215 United Kingdom Virgin Radio 04:33 09/06
English speaking DJ with old time hits and Virgin Radio IDs
1314 Norway 02:33 09/06 with it's usual fare of all
night pop music. This was the first TA to appear this evening.
