Conditions were down and some of the reporting stations were difficult to ID and tune accurately

Here's the log, please correct me if I'm wrong !

Hello Dave,

Maybe you can compare your logs with mine on;
www.middengolfontvangstrapporten.blogspot.com

I am always accurate about the time and station name.
The frequentcy is difficult because I have an analog radio.

Cheers,
Herman.

Zeewolf, thanks for the link and Armada, you're welcome to the reception report. Listening is always easy and my logs are always UTC, which I've overlooked this time.

Although digital here Zeewolf, reporting stations regularly come on as soon as the previous station closes with a few KHz difference, which may go unnoticed here !

Slightly off topic...
Reporting stations also can be difficult to ID when not familiar with the Dutch language. I'm sure musical jingles (like Interval Signals) perhaps including the station name would be more distinctive when QSOing. Batavier's has a long signature tune / Ident and is great for long cyclic fading.and I notice one or two familiar names on the netherlands page at http://www.intervalsignal.net
.... so let's hear more pirate interval signals
