Skegness Log: 08-09-15 (MW)

740 2327  B  ZYH446 Rádio Sociedade da Bahia, Salvador/Ilha de Itaparica (BA)
             Portuguese OM sports commentary, as web Vweak  8230 km


A promising start with lots of carriers and some audio arriving on 10 kHz channels by 2200. Latin rhythms were clearly audible on 1350 by this time, but that signal only peaked briefly, not to return.

I left the software recording overnight and was hoping to have heard more, but I accidentally left a laptop power supply on overnight. This psu doesn't cause interference elsewhere, though I now know not to leave this one on again overnight. I also forgot to de-activate the timer on my FDM-S2 and so it started recording band 2 at 0300 for meteor scatter. Oh well. Better luck next time. :)

Good DX!
