Things I missed were Syria on 0 offset E3, it never quite made it strong enough to get over Belgium and e21. I got a mobile alert that Iran was at video level on 8M E2 but after a quick dash home found it had faded down to S3.
Also seen and heard today was an unusual Rai Uno, the carrier was badly distorted, looking and sounding like these!

Conditions were more interesting early on with 2x Es on R1 at 0540, Moscow was very strong for a time as were a number of -8 and 0 offset signals yet the MUF only just reached R2 video, neither TV audio or OIRT were heard all morning. Later on weak signals were seen from RAI Uno on IA but nothing strong enough to log. -- 23/5/08

An excellent day of interesting and unusual signals with a few mysteries thrown in too. MTB Macedonia on E4, this one cropped up last year with some confusion due to the offset being on 8P and not the listed 1P. Yesterday it was definitely on 1P, 62.251.4MHz and at video level for over two hours, the logo remains the same and not exactly like those available online, just a shame it never quite becomes strong enough to open the IF width right out and grab a nice image. I've put some recordings of it on youtube including the news credits and a Macedonian song and video, audio switches from carriers to sound channel about one minute in. Not sure where that leaves the 8P signal that a few of us saw last year?
The E4/IB station was new, I've logged a RAI Uno up there and saw it this evening but this signal was a different frequency and wasn't parallel to RAI on IA.
The E3 signal is another unid and new one to me. MUF was high towards GRC and CYP on B2 and this signal suddenly rose out of the noise on 55.236 before fading back down, nothing was ID'd on video due to severe CCI from Jordan but I did capture the audio. On this clip you can hear me centre it on 60.73 in narrow FM, I'd really appreciate an ID on the language It's been pointed out that the px could have been subtitled so this won't be a positive fix on a country but either way it's a new signal. The carrier had 50Hz sidebands and I checked up 15.625K in case of strong horizontal line interference. The only signal that used to be listed down on 10M was ORF from Birkfeld but of course they are now all closed.

1906 A2 unid 525 line CCI and Spanish audio
The first Central American/Caribbean opening I've seen this year, although the TV was happy to lock on 525 resolution no clear images were seen but I did record about a minute of Spanish audio. A number of other carriers were noted up to A4.
