[HCDX] Mystery R., UBC, R. Happy Isles, LV del Napo

["Dave Valko" <djvalko@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

PIRATE (EUROPE)   6220  Mystery R.  After getting Chris Ise Yahoo SW Pirates
post that CWR was on, checked the freq at 1849 not expecting to hear
anything as it seemed much too early.  To my surprise, the carrier tone was
barely audible in sideband but definitely there!!  That's 4 hours and 24
minutes before sunset here!!!  In fact the sun had just set in the UK!!!
Mystery R. just shouldn't have been propagating at that time.  Its entirely
possible in December or January, but not March!!!  Amazing!!  It gradually
got stronger of course until audio started poking through by 1950.  2108
unrec. Rock mx, jingle and Mystery R. ID jingle, "Jean Jeanie" by David
Bowie, 2113 w/song anmnt in EG, Mystery R., hello to Europe, and rpt
acknowledgement, freq, then jingle w/freq by W, and into "Rush Hour" by Jane
Wiedlin.  2118 more live anmnts w/ID and freq, ID, song anmnts and more mx.
Good.  (7 March)

Kampala.service.  This channel can also be.Kampala.UBC ??".  The signal
