Monitoring Research - 7 MHz

A visit to the top end of the 7 MHz band during our sunrise window on Jan 23 2014 revealed a high level of spectrum usage between 1830 and 1900.

The band was dominated by short path signals from Asia, Africa, Middle East and Europe.

Notable were Bahai Radio from Kishinev, Deewa Radio from Udon, and R. Denge Mesopotamia from Issoudun.
