KAZ, I noted two very close traces on 1386 at 0555 and across the 0600 UTC top-of-the-hour. The stronger one is right on 1386.000, and the other was at 1385.995. Interestingly, I had zero sign of a Benin trace on 1566 tonight... nada! I see that my pals Nick and Walt were noticing it though. Guy

false alarm here too - the carrier near 1125 never did fade so whatever it is, it's not a real TA signal even tho it's only heard on the Eu beverage. 73 Don On Thu, May 30, 2013 at 1:35 PM, Sylvain Naud sylvainnau...@gmail.comwrote: 04:45 UT ! Belgium is already under daylight at this time of

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.

The carrier wass faintly audible again tonight Mauno, 0415UT, about 10 minutes after local sunset. It's a little less smeared this evening, spread only over about 1 Hz, and centered about 1566.9997, but I'd guess my accuracy is +/- 0.2Hz at bestso pretty much spot on the channel for all

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,

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. Bruce On 5/29/2013 21:32, Nick Hall-Patch wrote: The carrier wass faintly audible again
