Took a look at the other side of the big pond via Twente SDR at ~1200z. Various 11m FM activity noted, including an op on 27205 outside of Moscow.



Switched over to an Antron 99 18' vertical mounted at ~20' with four ~8.5' radials. I still need to tune it down like 400-500KHz or so, but "whatever" for receiving purposes.

1306z - 26975a Ch2 weak signal
1311z - various 12m band CW + digital activity

1314z - 27505u DX.... Brazil

1330z - 27335a Ch33 intermittent weak signal.... sounds like Spanish or Portuguese

1410z - 27025a Ch6 NA DX
1410z - 27085a Ch8 op tuning up
1412z - 27095a Ch9 DX.... sounds like Spanish

1440z - 27515l European DX.... England
1441z - 27385l Ch38 Caribbean DX
1443z - 27395l Ch39 DX..... Brazil?
1444z - 27375l Ch37 European DX.... England
1446z - 27555u DX.... Europe? French language
1446z - 27520u European DX.... multiple ops
1447z - 27595u European DX.... France
1449z - 27175a Ch18 sounds like truckers
1451z - 27265a Ch26 activity.... sounds like NA DX of a local(s) group
1453z - 27135a Ch15 likely NA DX.... over-modulated with echo
1455z - 27050a Ch4 DX qso about antenna.... Caribbean?
1457z - 26965a Ch1 Panama DX.... op with lots of echo

1500z - It is now exactly wall-to-wall signals, but 11m DX is open for business here.
1501z - various 12m band digital and SSB activity
1503z - 28400u European DX.... Scotland
1507z - 27765u weak signal DX.... Europe?
