["Markus Vester" <markusvester@aol.com>]

Quarter past midnight now: Sounds like 207 and 177 have gone off, but 153 is still playing.

All the best for 2015,

Fully agreed!

153 kHz:
http://df3lp.de/cgi-bin/lf/plot_channel.cgi?date=14-12-31&freq=62.0KHz
177 kHz:
http://df3lp.de/cgi-bin/lf/plot_channel.cgi?date=14-12-31&freq=86.0KHz

Replace date by "date=15-01-01" etc. - if needed.
Yes, frequency of "LO" is 91 kHz.

Happy New Year from Kiel!
