Please Ether Hacker, change all the details to UTC time, not UTC+1, thank you !
edit : done before I send this request, thank you !

(for info: frequency very close to maritime emergency freq of 6268 khz)

Are all those emergency frequencies really monitored by life services ?

Good question, I presume yes, due to the raid on Bogusman/The Ghoul.... wise to stay clear by at least 7 khz for AM signal

Regarding UTC time mix up - I noticed my mistake... wish they would not change local summer and winter time... ;-)
