0910  heard an Irish sounding DJ voice.... the QRM on 6240 is radio Kolibrie with 5 watt from the Netherlands

SINPO 21222

0943 no more signal here... still a carrier from Kolibrie

This is not surprising, if it is Radio Cuckoo, then they run a lot more power than Kolibrie, I heard they were getting a power upgrade nearer to LHH and Coast FM levels... this would explain their signal strength under current strong D-layer absorption conditions on 48 meters in June...

I've just had confirmation from another listener that this was "Radio Cuckoo"
