Re: [IRCA] Newfoundland Ultralight Radio Trans-Atlantics & DomesticsReport Oct 31 - Nov 1



Allen,
   I'm not sure what to make of the 693 and 918 loggings.

India does not operate on 693. Nor does Russia broadcast in English on 981, as far as I can tell it's either Radio Rossii or Radio Mayak. .

I'm wondering if these were some kind of shortwave images. Maybe some sort of mixing product with the RCI transmitter in Sackville?

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.
