[IRCA] Fw: [NRC-AM] Euro Carrier on 684

["Tom Jasinski" <amdxer@xxxxxxxx>]

Also had strong carrier on 684 last night, only traces of audio.  1134 was
also strong.

I neglected to check down on the longwave band last night, but there was
a bit of TA activity on mediumwave for the first time in a couple of
months.  I was getting definite audio (talk by man and some bits of
music) on 684-presumably Spain though I couldn't ID the language.  There
seemed to be time pips at the top of the hour (11pm Central, 0500 UTC).
It then faded somewhat, but for about 10 minutes it was strong and
steady enough for the sync detector on the little Sony 7600GR to stay
locked.  There were a few hets elsewhere (like 999) but no audio that I
could find.  But at least that's something-signals from across the
Atlantic had been deader than the proverbial hammer around here for
weeks on end.

>From 10:20 PM EST (0320 UTC) and continuing 10:45 PM EST (0345UTC) both
Germany on 183 kHz and Algeria on 252 kHz are booming in. Both in
French. Both with huge signals on the longwire and/or loop, but in
addition, I am hearing perfectly readable audio from both on a
"barefoot" Sony 2010, and a consumer Grundig portable. No external
antenna needed on either. The Grundig is a run of the mill portable, not
a communications receiver. These stations are strong right now.
Try for them if you have longwave. I don't know how long conditions will
last.
