During the peak of the opening around 1030 I received the audio to RAI Uno on 48.24MHz and confirmed it was // with IA. The signal was normal TV width and FM. Any ideas where that is from, I did check 5.5MHz down but no video was heard so maybe it's a spur 5.5MHz down from IA. Some of it is here http://www.ukdx.org.uk/tv/rai_4824_090608.mp3 All of the Middle East signals on E2 and 3 had audio present, the unid E4 will remain that I guess, offset isn't one I have listed and no logo was seen in the short time the signal was visible.

At around the same time a video carrier appeared on last years Tele Libera frequency of 46.85MHz, not quite strong enough to get over TLA half a meg up. I somehow doubt it was TL from the same site as last year as that appeared to be Monte Faito which is received here at the first 'sniff' of an opening to Italy.

An unusual signal heard today moments before Portugal appeared on E3 was a burst of ALE on 55.250. This is usually heard on HF and I've never heard it in a TV broadcast band, I assume it was from North Africa somewhere?

Some unid and unusual signals about today, the E4 on 256.3 could have been Middle East, other channels were open in that direction at the same time along with two other unid frequencies on E4. A new unstable unid on IA 53.748.8 was seen and later in the morning one of the African videos faded up. TV7 was seen with an additional Arabic logo tlc.

I received a log later in the afternoon of non English chat and music, direction 190 on 70.935ish, nothing heard here but one for a radio memory.

Interesting day for UNID offsets, numerous Italians including a distorted carrier RAI on 0 offset IA. Later in the evening a signal peaking at 30° was heard on a 2M offset on E2, suspected to be NRK Abogen, NE of Oslo @ 90Watts!
