Following the demise of Radio User magazine and no further NDB logs being received for publication I have deleted the "RU Log" page on this site and instead insert a new page ("Blog") for interesting snippets of NDB and maritime radio information that I come across.

using six SAR xconfigured AW189 helicopters based at Shannon, Dublin, Skigo and
Waterford. In addition the Irish Coastguard will, for the first time, have a fixed

As the 2023/24 winter DX season comes to a close I have found that it has been my best ever for trans-Atlantic reception. Sadly reception of 372 kHz OZN from Greenland remains very difficult following its re-location during 2021/22. Interestingly its re-location was very close to its origonal location a few metres away.
