** Personal Skegness 'First'

Nice to get back into carrier monitoring on band 1. My little half wave dipole seems to be doing the trick. A presumed Jordanian carrier was seen at  55.249.875. As Jurgen said, nothing was received on E2 or E4 at the time. My calibration will probably be out slightly as I have nothing with which to calibrate against so please excuse any small inaccuracy. Once I'd received the JRTV1 carrier I looked at their audio on 60.75 but the MUF never got that high at the time. Greece slowly appeared on band 2 a few minutes later, together with one or two mysteries.


Unidentified:

Is this Turkish?

It is not the first time I have heard this station when Greece has been present.


Good DX!
