After around three weeks of virtually nothing on the DNB band, an excellent opening was experienced tonight, 19th May 2019 (UTC date). Signals varied from around 419 to 579 report, the band was low on noise but some harmonics from the AM broadcast band evident 2.450-2.490MHz.
Just as an aside, some 172 unique DNB call signs were logged as the end total for the month of April 2019, the lowest heard on 1.712MHz and the highest on 2.777MHz.
For May 2019 I have logged 203 unique call signs from 1.711MHz through to 2.784MHz, so back to the very start again from 01st June 2019. Just to clarify, a Unique Call means it has been logged for the first time that month, it may have also been heard in the month previous.
Observations/comments:
DNB's 2.069MHz AQ3 and 2.087MHz UX6, plus 2.565MHz DN3 were all transmitting continuous with no key off cycle.
Some ATNO's were also logged plus a few regulars tonight/this morning (my time).
Nice to hear two 3X1 (Three letters & one number) callsigns plus a 2 X 2 (two letters & two numbers) which are not common here so are welcomed additions. A unique 1 X 3 (One number plus three letters) was also logged as a new one.
Also note 2.381MHz "ZP0" has been around for nearly two straight months.
