E-mail advised me Merlin will be on all night on 6280 until 9 a.m. U.K. time tomorrow. Hoping conditions will be favorable for nice reception here in North America! :thumpup:

I don't believe so. Merlin said they were having problems with the 6270 crystal and were hearing utility QRM, and ukdxer on his shortwavedx.blogspot was hearing it on 6280. Maybe another station active on 6270? Hope so, and hope they'll stay on later as well, as conditions have been very favorable for some of the lower-powered pirate stations from Europe recently!

At the moment the station that was on 6270 is off air. No signal on 6280. Do you hear the Achtung! Achtung! station on 6400, strong here tonight with a lot of static noise now. I shall listen a little later before i go to bed, right now i go for a walk with the dogs, so i leave the radio behind for a while.

Still a little early here in N. America, just after 1600 local time, so at least another hour before 48-m.b. should start to fade-in. Will be trying after that for both Merlin and "Achtung!" :)

Just got an e-mail. 6270 was Voice of the Netherlands testing.

Now at 2215 i hear Merlin on 6280,1 about s-9 and splatter from 6290.
The station on 6400 is still repeating the same message, and a strong station is on 6267.
