Noise,noise,noise.

A lot of noise here this weekend.Reading other posts it does not seem to be a universal problem,so it must be local.I live in a suburban area with lots of open spaces,but still on the outskirts of a big city.

On Saturday I could only hear one station!

Today was better,the noise came and went.It was either FULL ON,Medium or non existant.When FULL ON all I could hear were the big signals,Scotland,Borderhunter,Mazda,Boomerang and 5815 was not so affected so Spaceshuttle were OK too.

When the noise lowered a host of other stations were audible.And when it stopped it was great!

I've read a bit about Beverage antennas lately,to reduce noise.I have some space,so if anyone out there has any experience of these please e-mail me as I would like to give it a try.

Great to hear Radio Spaceshuttle for the first time,I'm sure the TX wasn't in Finland but great to hear some fine Finnish free radio!

Radio Borderhunter,as always,a great signal with superb mod. :D

Nice signal from a cold Radio Scotland too! :)

I got up too late today to catch Orion Radio........................... :(

Magic Radio worth a mention too,nice signal,nice mod and nice presentation.
