Between that, the operations on arrangement of a work station of May 4 kept. The CB-radio set was installed by me. From above the CB-radio is disposed CB-matching device with the self-made RF-ampermeter. With the help of this matching device subsequently it was possible to work on CB-radio set with usage of any our antenna - LW and GP's. But has appeared, that GP for a range 18 MHz was especially fine matched on 27 MHz range and perfectly there worked.

Peter, US1REO, has decided to test the radio set R-108 for operation FM on 29 MHz range. The amateur range higher than 29 MHz was jamming by FM CB stations, presumably of Turkey and Arabian countries. Sometimes overshot amateur stations of Europe operating on FM, but they were jamming powerful signals of these unknown radio sets. As I do not know the turkish and Arabian language, I can not identify these unknown stations operating above of 29 MHz. But on a manner of operation they very strongly reminded usual CB-station. Subsequently a lot of time we turn on this radio set, but to conduct QSO with its help to us it was not possible.
There is a line-of-sight on Turkey from Ai-Petri. To me told, that sometimes there were cases, when from Ai-Petri the turkish coast was seen. Certainly, this very infrequent phenomenon, and it is possible only at the expense of light refraction.
But the refraction of radio waves of 30 MHz range above a sea surface is obvious very often phenomenon therefore practically each day we could watch reception FM stations of Turkey above than 29 MHz. Subsequently, when I have arrived to home, I turn on my transceiver on 29 MHz with hope to hear these unknown stations in Belgorod. Alas - full silence!
During my last travels on Crimea, when I used CB - link in mountains, I repeatedly heard turkish stations on CB range, and now I have heard them and in a radioamateur ether.
