It was another enjoyable weekend of listening. Saturday night was also very interesting for propogation. Signals were not necessarily loud, but the noise floor was almost non-existant, so I was getting some details from almost every station being reported by European listeners. I even finally caught a station ID from Lightning Radio. You may notice there is only one time listed for each station Saturday night, which is when I first heard it. I just didn't get any chance to scan at regular intervals to determine how long they were on the air. (and since then I have just been lazy
It was nice to hear 3 new stations this week, Matrix on mw with only 100 watts, Eldorado and Foxfire.
