Cologne calling

[Axel]

Hello, conditiones on 76meters were very bad over the weekend. WMR came in with O= 1-2 only. 48 meters was better partly, but English stations were very low. So I got a lot of UNIDs.

Saturday
10:06 6210 25342 UNID, Engl. with AC/DC Hells Bells (which is a nice Christmas song)
10:08 6295 45343 Orion with remarks about Merlin on 6325, I could not hear anything on this frequency
10:10 6280 33343 Merlin with QRM from 6275, later 35343, nice show
10:14 6275 35343 Laser, brilliant as always
10:18 6420 25342 Laser
10:02 6307 14341 UNID with discomusic, too weak to identify
20:26 6220 34333 Mystery with usual boring disco music
22:20 3910 24332 WMR, always nice, but I always know every title
22:22 3921 23332 UNID playing White Christmas and Boney M.

Axel,

Your UNID on 6285 with "crazy modulation" was rather modulated in (narrow) frequency, instead of amplitude. So better to put the signal on the edge of the passband rather than at the center. (Royal culprit? )
