The low activity on weekdays is now well settled. But Tuesday 11th of November was a holiday in France, look for RWI. Second week without LHH on 4026, that would last for weeks. Most activity on Sat/Sun, including QSO's and many legal relays. Note that relays by IRRS are not quite reliable: on Saturday, R. City began late, with a 'coughing' TX. Magic AM (from the NL) is still fighting for "Magic" name property. R. Tower was the most reported station of the week (on every log, including that of the AT I suppose). The German R. Uferlos was also widely heard, with a name meaning something like "without limits". (A lot of stations are not in my Saturday log, I was away on late afternoon). Very low power stations were 'heard' (well, sort of) on 6400 on Friday evening and on Sunday afternoon. A note about "muffled": that's how I heard the station, but could be a strange effect of propagation disturbances, interferences, noise, etc, and RX behaviour under rough conditions.
