LOGS : 21 - 27 DEC. 2015

[Ray Lalleu]

Hi,

Lots of stations on the air, not so much time for listening. Also had to be "portable" in my own home at times.

Long checking with the logs from Achim, Terry, ULX2, Lowland, Franja, Rick, UKdxer, Iann, Toutatis, Irish Paul, Ihor, NFLdxer. Thanks to all, and also to Doctor Tim, back in my list (with a long jump from week 20 to week 52 !).

All stations IDs (just after kHz and UTC-UTC) are mine, heard on the air, except a few 'tentative' ones with a "%" after the name, % meaning a bet. The IDs only found in other logs are at ends of lines between [square brackets] and probably good at 95% or better. In the holiday season are heard more joke and fancy IDs, such as PRUTSER, SNELLE SJAAK, MEBO 2, (also Mumbo/bingo ??), etc... and a lot of seldom heard stations, just while the short skip is 'on' only on top of the very limited daylight hours, so their echo/report yield can't be very good.
