European Pirate Report from Dunlo, PA, USA, 29 April 2007

[Dave Valko]

6220.17 Mystery R. Hrd with audio as early as 2038, 3 and a half hours before sunset. Came back at 2110 and not much better; Pop Dance songs, and canned Mystery R. ID at 2121, and again at 2143. Listened to 2208 and didn’t recognize one song. Really fady signal with the usual local TVI. Thought there was supposed to be a relay of Marabu at this time per SW Pirates post, but I see from uk DXer blog that it was on earlier. (28 April)

6310 R. Borderhunter 0030-0048* Mx at t/in and short unreadable anmnt by Frans but did recognize his voice. 0034 voice-over anmnt w/ment of Saturday and ID. More Dance mx. Another anmnt at 0044 w/ment of freq, etc. and closing anmnt. Off at 0048. Not hrd earlier at 2200. Fair signal but noisy this evening. (29 April)

Haven't done much listening in the past few weeks. The geomagnetic field was stormy this weekend and with the earlier sunrise, its no longer worth going out to listen Sunday mornings now. But will keep the 'cans' on for any activity at other favorable times throughout the Summer months.
