Still no UK CBers or Irish church stations, but I am hearing europeans on SSB on 11m.
1448: Now hearing UK CBers on 27761 and 27781.
-
Hearing Irish and English (26CT115 requesting QSY to 27405) stations on 27385 LSB as well as 27395 LSB.
Other logs (1450-1505 UTC). Receiving equipment is: Galaxy DX959 with indoor dipole (random wire is antenna #2)
26585 AM - very busy, constant S7-S9 signal heterodyne, music, roger beeps, feedback, very messy
26625 AM - "Hola Hola Hola Hola Hola!"
26775 AM - Southern US accents
27385 LSB - very busy (US and Western European stations)

1507 UTC: Swapped out the Galaxy with the Voyager VR9000 (better known as the Superstar 3900F), backup radio is IC707. Did this because the Voyager has FM.

26955 AM - very strong carrier somebody keyed down for a second and didn't say anything (was S9 +40db!!!)
27405 LSB - 26CT115 (or maybe 26CT1115) working Kentucky station, heavy QRM
