Hi Everyone,   Thought I would start my attempt at the Robert Ross Challenge of logging 300 stations in 30 days last evening . Thus far I  don't have a great number added to the list,  as I thought I would leave the commonly heards  for later on.   Last evening I concentrated more on logging some of the stations I've heard before but stations that don't come in that often, only now and then,  in case I don't have another shot at them  again within the 30 days.   I did manage to log 2 new domestics , one which I will be submitting for  a possible new graveyard frequency  distance record which will  outdistance my previous record by 500 miles or so.   So I'm up for the challenge and looking forward to it.   Just some of the  logs from last night as follows:     1467 khz - TWR via Monaco  8/24/08    22:59 UTC w/ religious programming in English, gospel songs ; fair   1512 khz - BSKSA Jeddah, Saudi Arabia  8/24/08  22:57 UTC w/ arabic chants and music ; fair   1053 khz - LJB  Tripoli, Libya   8/24/08   23:04 UTC  w/ song in arabic by wioman, cheering then into music; good (over usual Talksport England)    972 khz - LJB  Sirte, Libya   8/24/08  23:43 UTC  w/ arabic chants  // 1449 good   1260 khz - WMKI Boston, Mass  8/24/08  23:54 UTC w/ R.
