ARLA/CLUSTER : DX Window material.

[Carlos L.R. de A.Gonçalves]

Dear Anker,

Here's what I've gathered during the last few days, and thanks again for 
allowing for a late mail.
________________

Note: most of the "uty." (utility) QRM on 60 m mentioned below was not RTTY, 
CW, SSB of similar, but something pesting the band in the evening and which 
is similar to the "shhhh" noise emanating from DRM signals as one detunes 
the fq, i.e. not as strong as on the centre freq., which then sounds like a 
reactor.    R.Mauritania, one the strongest 60 m band stns here, was also 
affected by it.   Maybe spurii emanating from the not so distant(75 km to 
the north) DW stn?   That was especially felt on the 4800~5000 kHz range.
