UNID on 6308.2 kHz. 8 Feb.

Ahoy, all!! It's been awhile since I reported, but happened to be off work today, and had time to listen. I have been hearing something on 6308.2 kHz. AM since around 2250, mostly hearing music. At 2301 Blondie's 'Heart of Glass' came through very nice. 2315 was some very nice polka music, and 2319 M DJ mentiones in English a P.O. Box in The Netherlands, then back to music. Signal is not bad, but bothered by Ute QRM, and some local electrical noise (neighbor next door has a shop in his garage about 10-m. from my antenna). Was looking for Radio Cochiguaz, which is supposed to be operating from European xmtr. site tonight on 6308.8. Is this possibly my friend Rinus and Cupido Radio (from whom I got a very excellent QSL-package this past fall)? Thanx to anyone for help on this.Alex
(Later) Turned out to be Double Kilo Radio, and the address was the Ruurlo drop. Heard until s/off just after 0003 UTC. Peaked through at S-7 on the FRoG-100B's S-Meter at times, here in the "Mountain State" of West Virginia in the Eastern U.S., some 100-km. or so WNW of Washington, D.C. Nice to hear this one for over an hour. Too bad it was 1 o'clock for the Op, because it was just starting to come through a little stronger when he went off. Will definitely send off reception report. No sign yet of Cochiguaz, and still haven't been able to catch Barretina on 6311.1 recently.
