ASCENSION ISL 9575even exact fqy, S=7 or -81dBm backlobe signal in Doha
Qatar ME and even less in Athens Greece EU remotedly, fluttery, but
suffered heavily QRM by nearby two RTTY UTE signals on 9573.900 and
9574.100 kHz, two signal peaks measured on Perseus SDR screen.

U.K. 12065.002 {not 13809.999 today June 21} kHz TX ENC Woofferton UK

Subject: Re: [WOR] MID WINTER
As I mentioned earlier, I'm travelling today so couldn't record the broadcast at home in NB. So, I used the U. Twente SDR receiver and recorded 9575 and 12065 kHz. Signals were good with peaks of S9+10 on 9575 and S9+20 on 12065. 9575 had to be tuned in USB due to a utility (RTTY?) transmission on 9574 (source?) and still had a bit of interference. Like usual, the Ascension transmission started a bit late. Why? They started the sender at 21:25 and transmitted a carrier for a minute or so and then again at 21:27. But then they had a crash start after 21:30 and missed a sentence or two or three of the broadcast. 12065 was o.k. and started on time.

Good signal on 5960 via UAE with family messages from 2132. King's message at 2146.
Also heard at fair level on 12065 via Woofferton. 9575 via Ascension barely audible.
