Hi Robertas,

Thanks for this report! (Welcome back!)
The UNID on 6313 ( 09:59 ) was R. Scotland too.
Someone on Iann's chat told me that our TX is better working around 6300 then at 6200.
According your SINPO is it a fact..
On the other hand: perhaps just conditions are better only when i did the test at 6313!

Greetings, Albert.

Thanks Robertas for your report. glad you received us overthere.

Hi Robertas,
What a pleasure to see that you logged WR International today 12-07-2009. It looks as if you managed to get a fairly good signal too, thank you for posting your log of WR International.

Dave.

Hi Robertas,

thanks for your logs. You mentioned Suzuki on sunday at 8:57 but that could not be me. I was on for the first time at 9:50. So this was an other station allthough i would be very happy with that SINPO.

Greetings Radio SuZuKi.

The relay via Mystery was Red Sands Radio - a RSL broadcasting from Whitstable Harbour, Kent, on 87.7FM until July 31.

The Red Sands Forts in the North Sea can't be used this year due to winter storm damage.

Hi Robertas/Leuven,

Glad you're back. I always fond nuggets in your logs. I found tentative IDs by checking against other logs:

| 6260 08:25 UNID, SINPO 25322. English songs, talk in (accented) English,
| ID, PO Box address. ID sounded similar to Radio Saturnus - but it could
| not be, as Saturnus was on air at the same time on 6305.

From Foton, this one must be Radio Saxonia.

| 6300 09:03-09:05* UNID, SINPO 45544. Instrumental music, no ID heard.

UNID also by Iann, Foton and Rick, but Andy Richards thinks to DELTA Radio.

| 6265 07:52 (and later) Radio 48, SINPO 23333. Greetings to listeners,
| mention of WNKR, ID, talk about the frequency of 1386 kHz, hotline,
| greetings to Marcel and Ray(?) in France, song by "USA".

Maybe, as I wrote MW comments in UKdxer blog recently. I couldn't hear this transmission on Sunday.

Waiting for your next logs...

PS. Maybe R.Suzuki is not using UTC ?
