PIRATE (EUROPE) 6220 Mystery R. After getting Chris Ise Yahoo SW Pirates post that CWR was on, checked the freq at 1849 not expecting to hear anything as it seemed much too early. To my surprise, the carrier tone was barely audible in sideband but definitely there!! That's 4 hours and 24 minutes before sunset here!!! In fact the sun had just set in the UK!!! Mystery R. just shouldn't have been propagating at that time. Its entirely possible in December or January, but not March!!! Amazing!! It gradually got stronger of course until audio started poking through by 1950. 2108 unrec. Rock mx, jingle and Mystery R. ID jingle, "Jean Jeanie" by David Bowie, 2113 w/song anmnt in EG, Mystery R., hello to Europe, and rpt acknowledgement, freq, then jingle w/freq by W, and into "Rush Hour" by Jane Wiedlin. 2118 more live anmnts w/ID and freq, ID, song anmnts and more mx. Good. (7 March)
