12095 at 0200 last night
Dan, Steve et. al.
Last night, 10-10:30 pm eastern time US (0200 UTC) I was hearing a very clear signal from the BBC on 12095. My HFCC and ILG databases say it was Skelton, UK I'm in the southeastern US and not sure the Skelton signal would hit me. Could it be true? I would have given this a 44334 SINPO. I was using a Tecsun PL-550 with 50 ft. random wire. |

The map thing in RLDB showed it targeted for South America, but I guess the spread got to me. It was an awesome signal. |

Dan Geez. I didn't know until last night that I could get 12095 from Skelton. I've heard the Ascension broadcasts before, and used them to gauge my radios' sensitivity. I'll check RNZI tonight on 15720. Thanks Dan. |

Dan Geez. I didn't know until last night that I could get 12095 from Skelton. I've heard the Ascension broadcasts before, and used them to gauge my radios' sensitivity. I'll check RNZI tonight on 15720. I was having problems getting a clear signal from RNZI last evening between 0100 and 0300 on 15720; did anyone else run into this? Something was broadcasting but it was RF noise, no intelligible voice or music. Other SW stations in the vicinity were not affected. I'm hoping it's not a longterm transmitter problem. RNZI on 15720 is a regular stop on the dial for me after 0100 UTC. I like their National Service relay, which occasionally offers interesting musical-theme broadcasts (fifties or sixties music, twenties jazz, etc.). A few weeks ago they had a call-in show from folks who remembered the Beatles' first (and only) concert in Wellington forty years ago; interesting anecdotes. There have been some radio blackouts two days prior and today. I heard RNZI drop out yesterday on 15720 around 3:30 UTC if my recollection is correct. I noticed that they were back on about an hour later. The switch off was very sudden so I think it was transmitter trouble and not due to a blackout. They are S10 right now on 15720 @ 3:08 UTC just like last evening. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

There have been some radio blackouts two days prior and today. We've been getting a lot of X Class flares the past few days. According to NW7US we'ce received 5 in the last day and a half. According to him there are more on the way. I heard RNZI drop out yesterday on 15720 around 3:30 UTC if my recollection is correct. I noticed that they were back on about an hour later.
