A late weekendreport this time, haven't been home much since Sunday evening...
A lot of short tests observed on 48 mb and over 6900 kHz (not mentioned in this log). Nonstop music for a few seconds or minutes, then off. I hate them and I love them! Hate them because I never know what I am listening to. Love them because they indicate that maybe some new stations are trying to find a good frequency. I think the positive side wins.
Great shows again from many stations. Thank you.
