6878 Khz Pirate Music (tent)
Tentative the station Pirate Music is again active on 6878 Khz. At 1815 Utc strange things happen on this frequency. Station is putting out the same interval signal on and on. Reception is quite good with O=3/4. The italians have new surprises in there transmissions or is it a utility station holding the frequency free ?
UNID 6306 Khz
At 1805 Utc hear an UNID station on 6306 Khz with reggae music. Reception was first quite strong with O=3/4 then sudden fall to O=1/2. May be it is again Fox 48 but I doubt it because of the S=9 signal strength at first. Heard no announcement till now. It is also the possibility that there were two stations on air, one with reggae music signing off at around 1810 Utc, and a weak station in the background.
