MW Test in Italy    14-15 Oct. 1995

Bad luck! At least on frequencies and times scheduled for the test. It
would have been much better to choose "morning" hours...
Anyway:

location A: in Cesenatico, Adriatic Sea
rx: HS 1000 Watkins Johnson, R70 modified
ant: 600 mt LW to Central America  ALN-1 loop

with Dario Monferini, Giampaolo Galassi, Renato Bruni, Fabrizio Magrone

location B: in L'Ago, La Spezia (60 km east of Genoa)
rx: JRC 525, JRC 535
ant. 3 100mt LW, 1 100mt dipole

with Rocco Cotroneo, Andrea Lawendel (and 5 cats)

                          B  weak carrier

930  23:25-23:30          A  weak carrier
                          B  strong carrier, mx at peaks, possibly from Canada

1440 00:15-00:20         both: strong carrier (Moscow?)

1500 00:35-00:40         both: fair carrier

1510 00:55-01:00         A: weak carrier
                         B: carrier with mx peaks (pres. Venezuela)

1380 01:25-01:30         both: nothing

ann.,
                         In our opinion, likely to be Plata, maybe Uruguay?)

1570 02:25-02:30         A: nothing
                         B: weak carrier on 1569.93

1590 02:40-02:45         A: they gave up!
                         B: 2 LA mix, one SS talk, weak no id's


After the end of the test, conditions improved at location A with Brazil
and Plata signals from 02:40 till 04:00 and later with tentatives of
Colombia
Here is some:
