If it is > above S5, you may have a chance. I need to check. I was not watching 138.83 at this time. I think I've logged DCF39 sometime ago and some other utility stations between 120 and 140Khz - RTTYs, MSKs, etc , but on a lower frequency, 129KHz I suppose. The Algerian BC peaks S8 sometimes (100Hz filter) but it's a 2MW station (ERP?). Anyway, it's summer here and every day we have tropical shower around 18:00 UTC - it lasts for an hour or so - but its effects remains all night long - static crashes - dropping at 07:00 UTC. May be I need to wait for autumn / winter, which is the dry period here (40 ... 90 days with no rain at all). Thanks on the info. 73 Marcus PY3CRX/PY2PLL S.
