Hello all,
 
Do try not to miss our 225th co-ordinated listening event - it starts this
Friday at midday.  We can hope for good conditions, some comfortable
listening and opportunities to catch some good DX.
This should be ideal to try out a CLE for the first time.
 
    Days:   Fri. 24 - Mon. 27 November,  Midday-Midday, your local time
    Frequencies:  1) NDBs from 190 - 239.9 kHz
             PLUS:  2) Normal NDBs on 'half-way' frequencies  nnn.5 kHz
                                (from 190.5 - 999.5 kHz)
 
So for all of us it is a CLE in two parts - the first part is hunting for
the NDBs whose published frequencies are lower than 240 kHz.
The second part is hunting for the NDBs whose carrier frequencies
are 'half-way'.  E.g. 284.5 DY, 333.5 VOG, 370.5 LB, 381.5 SJX (in MI),
390.5 ITR, 433.5 HEN   ( Not nnn.6, etc. )
'Normal' NDBs - no DGPS, please.
 
    (Most Europe listeners will hear few or none from part 1, while
     listeners away from Europe will hear few or none from part 2)
 
The Seeklists from REU/RNA/RWW will help you – you will find them
from the link on the CLE page  http://www.ndblist.info/cle.htm
 
Please send your CLE log to the List, if possible as a plain text email and
not in an attachment, showing 'CLE225' at the start of its title. (Loggings
from both parts can be shown together in the same list if you wish)
Please include on EVERY line of your log:
 
  #  The date (or just the day 'dd') and UTC (days change at 00:00 UTC).
  #  kHz  - the beacon's nominal frequency.
  #  The Call Ident.
 
It is important to show those main items FIRST - any other optional
details such as Location, Distance, etc.  go LATER in the same line.
 
Don't forget to give your OWN location and details of your receiver and
aerial(s), etc.  Others will be interested to know, especially new members
- and old ones with memories like mine!
Also, please ALWAYS send your last log with ‘FINAL’ in the subject.
      ## That is important even if you send no interim logs ##
 
Listening on the 'half-way' frequencies means we might also catch some
interesting non-CLE beacons - please tell us about those too, but in a
separate list.   If any of them are UNIDs whose carriers seem to be on
'half-way' frequencies  include them in your main list of course.
 
Joachim and I will be processing the incoming logs – please look out for
our 'Any More Logs?' email at about 18:00 UTC on Tuesday evening,
with a list to let you check that your log has been found OK.
Joachim will again be making the combined results for us.
 
Do make sure that your log has arrived on the NDB List at the very latest
by 09:00 UTC on Wednesday 29 November.
 
Good listening
   Brian

(If you wish you could use any one remote receiver for your loggings,
stating the location and owner – and with their permission if required.
A remote listener may NOT also use another receiver, local or remote,
to make further loggings for the same CLE)
