That week saw the real beginning of Channel 292 with increased power, although the signal level seems always somewhat low in regard of the announced power. Also much activity on the other SW relaying services, with R. Mi Amigo (Spain) and R. Gloria Int'l trusting many hours on the air. I missed all the R. Barracuda transmissions on unusual frequencies.
