Hi Bruce. I totally understand what you are saying and am in the same boat. I may have captured Romania on 152 kHz but if I did then it would a wonderful shock and a surprise since I think I am hearing Algeria all the time. Romania would be a new one for me.I always hear two different languages on 252, either French or Arabic. Same with 171 kHz, French or Arabic. Also, and I need to confirm this but I thought Romania runs lower power which would really make things harder for us (esp me).
I think the key, and only way we are going to get to the bottom of this will be for us to make some recordings of "Romania" at the same time then compare notes later. Or, for us to record via a remote SDR Romania and also from home when there is propagation and then do a comparison.
I would not be against getting on the phone with someone else when conditions are good so we could hear in real-time what each other is hearing either. Might be easier then making a gob of recordings then sifting through them looking for the exact moments when the same signals are being heard by two or more stations.
Anyway, I am game to getting on the horn with someone if anyone wants to play. TU for your interest and replies. 73 Gedas W8BYA Indiana
