Telebari has been around for a while but was always weaker than RAI from Monte Faito, now that is off air I'm able to see weaker signals like this one. The logo is an old sailing ship in the BRC, typical shouty Italian telesales stuff.
Great day for Italian STLs too, the D100 works really well for getting the RDS from these.

Some interesting carriers heard today but not strong enough for video including an E2 6p Iran thought to be Tehran. An R2 that was about 2kHz wide and a burbling mess, not uncommon for some of the Russian or Ukraine transmitters. An R3 signal that was so unstable it sounded like a police siren.

This short log doesn't really do the day the justice it deserves, I'd not be surprised if I never seen the likes of it again! It started off pretty well with Syria on E2, quite rare in itself as it's normally drowned out by Iran on 8m. The MUF rose rapidly and out of the CCI I got ORF1 Austria, tent. the 1kW Neumarkt Kulmer transmitter.
Then late morning I noticed the 6m maps were starting to go red towards the Caribbean so swung round and was quite surprised to see a brief image of man in a suit which was obviously 525 lines as the Thomson switches down to the smaller screen. The MUF rose rapidly after this and I followed it upto A5 including the audio! I'd already tipped off Mike Fallon, an FM dxer that the MUF was very high to the SW and he suddenly became aware of distorted Spanish audio on 87.75 which I was able to confirm as // with the lower channels, the first time we'd encountered transatlantic signals as high as B2.
With the help of Hugh Cocks and later reviews of the video we were able to confirm most of the signals were of Tele Antillas, Dominican Republic. This site is 7023km from me, there was at least one other station received during this mega opening but it remains unidentified. What was surprising was the amount of colour resolved on these signals, programming for the most part was about the Colombian election the previous day although there are some adverts and news in the recorded parts.
I almost missed the Canadian signal in the evening, I'd been monitoring A2 but it, along with A3 were completely empty so it was surprising to see an S7 signals on A4! Also surprising, how clean the signal is from 3900km, it was the same last time too, very clear video quality unlike the 3x Es from the Caribbean with its distorted picture.
