London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

Quite a busy weekend,despite the fact that many Dutch operators,understandably,decided not to
fire up their rigs in light of the Westcoast raid.
More German stations heard than normal though.Was this because
less Dutch stations were on or was it that I could hear them because they weren't on.Was this a
busy weekend for German Pirates or normal?
Were RNI really coming from Switzerland?Or was it Germany?
And was this a Pirate or legal broadcast?Certainly the deep fading indicates a good distance from
my QTH.
Was my UNID on 6400 WMR testing on Saturday afternoon?They had a rock solid signal on
Sunday morning till 1200 then still strong but with deep fading till 1400.Went out after that so I don't
know when they faded out,certainly on my return in the early evening they were inaudible.
Many questions this week!Do any of you have any answers?

I Like free radio,not raids

[undigest]

Hi Andy,

I had the station on both 6400 and //3910kHz at 1443-1450UTC Saturday, playing "We Won't Get Fooled Again" and "Owner of a Lonely Heart", so I took it to be WMR. No ID heard, though.

All best,

Peter

Hello Andy,

I´m sure RNI is not far away from me. It is the first skip coming down to my arial and Hannibal is booming in here normally.
It seems to me a bit more activity from the Germans than on other weekends.
What I know RNI-Worldservice is on high power, CWR on medium power and Likedeeler is on low power. Good to hear they are all audible in London.
I did not hear Radio Halloween. Did Doc Tim made a transmission under this occult name?
Not even bad what happend last weekend for a handful stations existing in Germany. Four stations were on.

By the way, RNI-WS congratulated the owner of RNI - Edwin Bollier in his program to his birthday.
Bollier was partly paid from the East German Secret Service called Stasi. So rumors in the 70th which had spoken about clandestine connections of RNI were right. May be Edwin Bollier was a real pirate and a "typical Swiss businessman", who is selling weapons to both sides to keep war alive for a long time and earning much money in doing so.
Pirate Radio - here RNI from the Mebo2 - seems to be real piracy sometimes.

Best greetings

Axel
