London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

I won't even comment on the conditions.............it's what we've been used to recently!

Nice to see so many stations still making the effort though.

Radio Calypso very busy.Nice strong signal.But you have some mod problems.Too quiet,
too muffled and a slight "clipping".Today I would have given you 45434 if the mod was better.
I would guess you are about 70% modulated only,need more treble and adjust whatever
compression you are using.

Albert of Radio Scotland made me laugh.After reading some reports on the web he said that
his "Neighbour",Radio Shadowman was getting better reports and that he "Wants to be stronger
than The Shadowman!!".He said it with a smile in his voice,but all Pirates want to have a better
signal than their neighbours!Sorry,Albert,Shadowman was quite a bit stronger...........testing a new
TX.

But even he wasn't as strong as Radio Boomerang,with an experimental set up,REALLY strong here,
despite the conditions.

Hello Andy

Your Monday UNIDs on 6310 was R.Malaisy. - I was trying to receive weak signal of R.Condor when Malaisy started transmitting exactly at 1020.

UNID from 6285 was probably Voice of The Netherlands. I heard ID at 1055.

Stadion from 6400 IDed Toutatis as RFB. On this frequency transmits BC station from North Korea, possibly with program also in Russian.

Greetings
Michal
