Re: [IRCA] 1566 kHz... Benin?
I checked it at 2230 close-down, it was very close to nominal, I'd say not lower than 1565.9998 kHz. 73, Mauno Finland 29.5.2013 7:50, Guy Atkins kirjoitti: With thanks to Nick H-P for alerting me last night to this annual event, I'm watching 1566 this evening, having begun about 0410 UTC. Using Jaguar's Tractor magnified spectrum timeline (like Zoom tool in Perseus but with an extended time history), I'm seeing a blurred trace at about 1565.995 kHz (after calibration). It seems to be very slowly strengthening. Last year this time, Ilpo Parviainen in Finland reported that he found Benin hovering mostly around 1565.998.

Very little the previous couple of days, but Tahiti was back this morning with fair audio from 1100-1115 or so.A few words from presumed New Zealand on 1035 at around 1107 was the only other audio noted.

Re: [IRCA] 1566 kHz... Benin?
Nick, I've been watching the carrier for the last 1/2 hour or so (now 04:36 UTC). It's visible on my Perseus but just very weakly. Far away from audio in any case. Seems to be gradually getting stronger. I'm seeing it only with my north directed corner fed loop. Nil on the west facing loop, and the ALA 100 LN loop. Spoke too soon, now visible on the ALA as well.

I'm seeing a weak carrier at 0446 on 1566.000, as near as I can tell. It's very irregular, poking up out of the noise like a prairie dog, then diving back down. about 10 db above the noise at best.
