6375.2 UNID 13 Nov. 2011

Heard an UNID. this morning on 6375.2 from 0721-0816. Definitely European. Thought it was Sonic at first but he was on 6310. I see that no one else has reported anything here, so far. Dutchwing maybe?? I haven't replayed the recording yet. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Loggings from 15-16 Oct 2011 from Dunlo, PA, USA

9 OCTOBER 2011: Since there’s been a fair amount of activity on Saturday nights lately, I figured I’d go up to the SGLs and see what could be heard. Conditions were only fair. It was very very fady. Signals were varying a lot. I was glad to finally get R. Alice. I was surprised R. Powerline Int. was...

Request

I know this isn't the proper place for this, but I'd like to reach as many stations as possible. I'm going on holiday for the next week starting Sunday (8 May) and will be camping at the beach along the Atlantic coast. Of course I'll be taking my laptop and Perseus (SDR) receiver to do some listenin...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 6 March 2011

6 March 2011: Not a thing was heard when I awoke. I had to rely on the propagation data alone. I was surprised to see the Solar Flux was a whopping 135. The A index was fairly low though. The Auroral zone was weak and far to the north. What was really shocking was the MUF. It was a high 9 mhz betwee...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 27 February 2011

27 FEBRUARY 2011: When I awoke, conditions seemed better than they have been. Was getting some audio on 6959.8 Atlantic R. and 6210 LHH's carrier was audible (in SSB). The propagation data looked really interesting. The Solar Flux was elevated and the Geomagnetic Field was fairly quiet. A 6 mhz MUF...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 20 February 2011

20 FEBRUARY 2011: Nothing heard at 0600. No indicator station to gauge conditions. 6005 was blasted on both sides by major broadcasters. So I had to resort to the DX.QSL.net propagation page data only. There was a very small 6 mhz MUF between Iceland and UK. 9 mhz over us. It looked to be calming do...

Re: Report From Dunlo, PA, USA, for 13 February 2011

Thanks for the kind response, guys!! I really enjoy listening to all who go on the air. Of course it would be nice if I had equal reception at home as I do at the State Game Lands. But there's a kind of 'charm of inconvience' going out to listen in the cold and snow in the dead of night!! Its a lot ...

Report From Dunlo, PA, USA, for 13 February 2011

13 FEBRUARY 2011: With 4015 LHH being off (6210 doesn't really propagate well here) and 6959.8 Atlantic seemingly erratic, I really had no barometer to gauge how good conditions are. And haven't tuned around to find a fairly weak European broadcaster. So the only thing I've had to go by is the Propa...

Report Over New Years from Dunlo, PA, USA

31 December 2010: Was in Ianns chat at 2015 and Terry mentioned a couple stations he was hearing in Newfoundland. Since the weather was nice, and the propagation looked interesting, I thought I might drive up to the SGLs for a couple hours. Conditions seemed about normal. At least better than at Chr...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 12 December 2010

12 December 2010: Conditions didn't seem very good at 0600. 4026 LHH was a bit weaker than last weekend with hardly any audio. 6959.6 Atlantic was there though (audio at threshold as well), about the only glimmer of hope. Solar Flux was 87, the A Index was 1, and the K Index was 0. No geomagnetic st...

Report from Dunlo, PA, USA for 5 December 2010

5 December 2010: 4026 LHH was doing fairly well at home at 0600 UTC. However there was a large area of 5 mhz MUF stretching from Scandanavia to Iceland and south as far as the UK. So I was a bit concerned. It was unusually noisy for some reason. Thunderstorm-like static crashes. On the weaker statio...
