Trying out a different logging program - 'Newlog' (from AB9B), which generates formatted SWL reports, . I used B-Log in the past and this is the follow on programme. Very pleased with the various ways it can be configured Nice programme with a small footprint and very low system requirements (only uses about 5MB RAM when running).
I was not aware that 'The Disco Palace' broadcast was in AM at the same time as DRM when it was testing on 8 March - that will teach me to keep the RX volume down while I monitor DRM broadcasts! It appeared to be a 1 day test yesterday as it is not on today.
Here are some logs from the 16m band:
