Hi,

Still quiet weekdays and crowded weekend with lots of UNIDs (several UNIDs in this log on Sunday around 10-11 UTC remain UNID or quite % -tentative- after checking with the best logs).

All frequencies (at home) best rounded to the nearest 1/10th of kHz, except when I can't say on which side, then I round to the nearest 0,05 kHz. Readings here are still better (with a well known 0,02 bias) except when the carrier is much too weak with noise around - also with most SSB signals. Remarks :
- readings at 0,01 are helpful to check if still the same station is heard (but still a few ones are drifting or wandering a bit, and also more and more are right on the spot, then this is hardly a hint about a change)
- even when spot on, many carriers have a bit of wobbling, so they sound "mushy", even the professional legal carriers often sound like that, and with just a bit more of wobbling, I can check with the NBFM mode and sometimes hear better (when there is no strong signal on a nearby frequency) - is this from "energy efficient" modulation schemes ?
