ARLA/CLUSTER : DX material.

Sexta-Feira, 9 de Junho de 2006 - 18:55:17 WEST

Dear Anker,

Here are the observations gathered during these last few days, with the bulk
thereof stemming from the weekend SW coast obs.

Really nice the other day (2 Jun) was R.Globo, Rio de Janº RJ 1220 kHz at
just 53343 at 2159-2210, but then 55444 at 2325.  A few other B stns have
been audible as early as 2130.

Also exciting to observe the 500 watt stn Capital Gold 1323 kHz, Brighton,
on 3 Jun 2145 rtd. 54444 and really a lot better than the 97.5 kW of //
Capital Gold, London, 1548 kHz.

Apart from that, not much luck for TA MW DX if I "close my DX evening" at
around 2300...
