[IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Trans-Atlantics Report Oct 19 - 20

[Allen Willie <vo1_001_swl@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello Everyone

Trans-Atlantic reception last evening here in Newfoundland was a mixed affair with many of the more commonly heard stations such as 1521 Saudi Arabia and 1575 United Arab Emirates in a weakened signal status

The evening played host to many other stations not heard in a while at this location. Stations from Spain seemed to be quite plentiful and many of the less commonly heard from there had fairly stout signals at times including the outlet on 1107 khz

Early in the evening, TWR Relay via Albania on 1395 and France on 1404 were also heard for the first time in a while. Likewise Morocco on 612 made an appearance as well
