Spurious - BBC R Gloucestershire is radiating a strong spurious emission on 1493.5 kHz. It's coming from the Berkeley Heath transmitter (500 Watts nominal on 1413 kHz). This is propagating very well, and has already been logged in Denmark, Holland and at Sheigra. Engineers at the station know about the problem and Crown Castle are aware and working to rectify it. The 1493.5 kHz emission is proving easier to hear than their allocated channel of 1413 kHz for many people outside the local area.
Propagation - Still quite a few meteors around overnight, but none during the day today.

Propagation - Day started off quietly with just a morning opening to Tunisia. But from the middle of the afternoon for 6 hours the band was wide open. Predominantly Italy and Spain, but also Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco ... and yet the same area of Greece. The strange thing was that the band was open to everywhere at the same time, all you had to do was turn (or switch) aerials.

Loggings - Added some more details to the logs from the 27th. In particular 101.7 is R Panorama from Greece with 600 Watts, 97.7 is R Stn Lehovo with 2 kW.
Propagation - Any other time, today would have been called a good day for Band 2 dx. Plenty to hear again today, just not quite in the same league as the weekend. Would have heard more except I had my little helper, and he wants to play football etc. So a lot of auto-logging and recordings done on 87.6 MHz.

DDH47 - DDH47 came through nice and clearly on 147.3 kHz for their last special broadcast commemorating 100 years of maritime radio in Germany. They have a website too (mostly in German). I've transcribed the entire broadcast (but for obvious reasons it won't be online here until after the end of March, which is their deadline for reception reports).
Propagation - Rinse FM have finally disappeared from 87.6 MHz, but alas there is still another pirate on that channel although rather weak here. No meteor pings yet noted here or on 87.7 MHz.

Propagation - Minor tropo to usual French and Belgian sites in the early hours, but no real dx noted.

WRTH - WRTH Publications have made available a listing omitted from the WRTH 2000 book, namely that of the National Shortwave Services ... ie domestic SW stations. As their PDF file is huge and contains page breaks mid-line, I have used their data and produced my own documents. One or other of them should meet your needs. There's a DOC, an XLS, a PDF, a HTML and a TXT file all linked from here.

Y2k - Everything fine here (as expected), though I have seen two incoming emails apparently dated as Year 100.
