Already heard at 1538 and 1702 (extra weak then)
Since 1950, fair-good level, pops and IDs, mentionning '215 AM' (that means 1395 kHz)
Known Irish station

Ray, is this possibly the same station on a few days back as posted here? https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,41875.0.html

Sadly, a minor flare earlier today has wiped out 48 meters to Europe  :(

Hello Skipmuck,

Maybe the same station, maybe not. The exact frequency on Tuesday and Wednesday was read as 6928,07 both days. Maybe it's the temperature at the TX site ? (My Rx seems to have a TCXO, and seems stable within 0.01, even if 0.01 or 0.02 low).

On Tuesday and Wednesday, I heard no ID, no jingle, no announcement.

The conditions were good within Europe tonight, but now all pirates above 5 MHz have faded out. My TA check with Gander Radio on 6604 USB is not too good.

Well, try a report to EnergyPowerAM@hotmail.com

Till next time,

Ray

Thanks Ray! I recorded the April 17th reception here for quite awhile. I'll try a report to that email addy and see what happens!

Still on the hair on Saturday (local) morning and afternoon, 21 Apr 2018,
still on 6928 kHz, but a bit drifty (more and more slowly), now on 6298.00
Weak, noisy daytime, music, could not copy the IDs at 0823 and 1354 UTC, but no doubts.
