Hi Newfondland Dxer !

You said :

" 6400,6 2140 UNID, very weak music (possibly Radio Freebird, but ukdxer reports 2 stations 6400/6401, so I am not sure) "

Well, read again. The 2 stations reported by Ukdxer are for Sunday 7, not for Saturday 6.

All reports for Saturday 6 on 6400 approx. are for Radio Shadow. The frequency could have been drifting around 6400.5, so the reports round it to 6400 or to 6401. (I had it on 6400.4 around 22.10, but could not identify it by myself).

Other information is very interesting, go on! (I'm a bit puzzled by the R. Delta Oscar tests..., that seems an insight in the underground of underground!)

Thank you Ray. You are absolurely correct.

I usually compare my UNIDs with other dxer's logs on Monday mornings, before posting my logs. This week, I was really rushed, and made an obvious mistake.

As for the Radio Delta Oscar tests, the operator contacted me in private chat while I was in Iann's room, and wanted to do a transatlantic test. Of course, I was more more than happy to listen.

Normally I share all of my loggings with the other dxer's in Iann's room, but since I had been contacted in private chat, I respected the operators wishes.

By the way, I have received a very nice QSL from Delta Oscar.

Cheers, Terry
