You can check for the sked by searching for ISL in the following doc: http://www.susi-und-strolch.de/eibi/bc-a04.txt Both the state run radio and AFRTS are on. dxAce I'd like to hear the state run station. Any idea how hard it is to receive from the Eastern US? I haven't tried them in quite some time. AFRTS has been audible here. I have picked up AFRTS with a strong signal here in southern California on 13855 USB and 7590 USB but that was some time ago. I have not heard them on 9980 yet but I have not tried. If Iceland broadcasts in english I'll give them a try. Do they broadcast in english? What do you think would be the best time for me to try to hear them? No English but 13865 at 2300-2335 might make it to you, or the 15775 b'cast at 1835-1905 might make it. I tried today at just after 18:00 UTC on 13865 USB and had nothing so I tuned in just before 22:55 UTC and heard them start up at 22:59 on my atomic synchronized clock and they switched off at 23:29 UTC. Don't understand Icelandic so no positive ID from me. Sounded like Russian or some other slavic language. Not a very strong signal, noisy S3 on the peaks. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
