London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

On Saturday night conditions seemed to lift and were better than they have been for a while.
Also noise levels were much lower on Saturday night and Sunday morning,only around S3,instead of the usual S8 to S9!It was a pleasure tuning across the bands........but of course signals faded too..............
Bogusman still came in well on Friday night with a repeat of last weeks show.
Very busy on 76m on Saturday night.My first log of Norwegian station Radio Fox 48,came in well here,very impressed!
Good music from Skyline Radio from Germany too.On 3900Khz I was not sure if this was just VOTN with some help or more than one station.
Magic Radio did well to get through all the other strong signals on Saturday night.Much better on Sunday morning with just a slight het.Magic usually manages a good signal but his programmes and presentation are always superb.He has a very good radio voice and speaks good German and English too!Hope we will hear more of him.
Lots of carriers with mains hum heard;
0950 - 6205Khz
0955 - 6280Khz
1003 - 6270Khz
1006 - 6280Khz.
Was this one station testing?If so,6280Khz was the frequency that he was strongest on.
Other than that,pretty quiet,still the holiday season.
