[Ray Lalleu]

Hi,
Same new noise,busted at last on Thursday morning (see previous reports).
Look for 3939 (no ID), pops, R. London jingles, but also RTL jingles, with a strange signal level that fades down at night.Look also for 6115, testing with non stop music, but on Sunday that was the end of Christmas music. Some strange propagation effects, e.g. for R. Waves Int'l on Sunday, heard strong here for almost 3 hours, but apparently not anywhere else. Look also for 9395 on Sunday: was this a pirate or not ?
