Jan. 12 "demo" on 76 mb

[Ray Lalleu]

Yesterday night, a "demo" occured on the 76 meter band. A few very low power stations were on 3935 after 20.30 UTC. Then, more and more fair, good and strong signals appeared on the 3900-3905 et 3930-3935 ranges, and about 21.45 to 22.45, it was all of a mess on those frequencies. Only Skyline International Radio was clearly identified, with the strongest signal on 3905, (maybe flatening an earlier non-stop music station, or was it already Skyline ?). There was also a very bad het from probably the same (fake?) WMR station as last Sunday on 3904.7 kHz. An other station lasted a while on 3930, maybe Radio Northpole? (name not well heard), and anything else was weak or short lived signals messing the demo and ending in a QSO round on 3902.
