on 7399.96
1611 trace at home, audio below rising storm noise, clear in UK, "Slowdown"
1716 via UK : test transmission, ID+@, music

Yes, daytime D-layer absorption is still to high to be received above the noise at your QTH.

Thanks, Ray

Later I'm only catching some fragments when the signal gets better. Then it fades out.
At UTC 2023 was good for a brief moment.

You have done well to receive me with an indoor antenna.... at such a distance

Hi, listening on the PL-680 portable indoor with simple wire on the floor loop. Noisy but audible and I understood the jingle.
I have to crank the volume up all the way on narrow bandwidth or use wide which is louder and noisier.

Anyway nice with such small power.

Thanks, Ronald.  It seems my vertical is working ok for low angle.  Yes, because of the low power, my signal can be unstable with long skip into Slovakia, Poland, Austria and Hungary tonight. Thanks for your report from central slovakia

on 7699.95
1954 music, very noisy here, 1955 ID, @protonmail dot com, some jazz

I'm trying to stay on higher HF frequencies to decrease the evening static noise with my low power.  It seems noisiest over France this evening, less in other parts of Europe. Noise may decrease later. Thanks for the report, Ray.
