LOGS 9 - 15 JAN. 2012

[Ray Lalleu]

• I'm one of the few to mention first and last time in each line of my logs. Of course, I can't listen continuously to all the stations in those time periods. Some stations have a break when I'm listening elsewhere. But the main problem is to cope with stations using successively the same frequency with nothing quite different (not even 1 or 2/10th of a kHz) and no or very few IDs. So I can split the same UNID in two periods when not needed, or I can join two different stations under the same ID (or same UNID). This is where ckecking with other logs is the most useful. In such cases, I remove my error, adding (or removing) one UNID line (but there also my UNIDs are still UNIDs, just with the probable ID between [square brackets] ).
  
  Almost no log from the global pirate weekend. No skip short enough from England or Holland this time. But I logged several American stations on 6.9 MHz (mainly on Sunday night), with also Brasilian(?) circus sounding rather like the EC band.
