I don't know but they may have been on the air all night.

Best reception currently in southern Europe or Scandinavia but it's spotty.
Just somebody with a radio, a computer and a pair of headphones...

6305.1 right now (1415 UTC) from SDR of Twente... barely understandable, but propagation issues. I´m monitoring it (from Argentina :D)

Hello, group!
Welcome epimundo !
Very weak signals today... The Twente SDR gives exact frequencies (to 1Hz), but the antenna is ridiculous (10 cm high!), and the skip zone shades many stations. So, rather try the Kiwi SDR servers in the UK or in Central Europe.
Could you try directly your local AD149 on 6934.9 kHz ?

Sorry but I don´t understand you very well.. My local radios, from my QTH? Not now, I`m not near right now, but here in Argentina I can only hear very powerful signals from Europe (Channel292 is impossible, let`s figure it out...).

I usually use "only Twente" because it feels to me more "honest"... Anyways, this hobbie is kind of a game, and I feel that if I use only one SDR for Europe, that´s more "DXish" for me :D , and the reception report could be more juicy for the radio broadcaster... but I`m constantly learning, so thanks for the advice! Of course, I will try everything because I want the pirate verifications, damn it! :D
