London Calling - New Year Logs.

[Andy Richards]

Happy New Year to you all!

Once again a very busy couple of days.
Too many Pirates,not enough frequencies..................you can never have too many Pirates!!!
I thought conditions were a little better than over Christmas,signals not dropping out as much and a little less noise too.
The Orion Radio/Radio Tina guys were good fun!They got on the beer early and I laughed out loud when Radio Tina was struggling to say something in English and said;"Mein English ist schei.........not good!"
Good signal as usual too.
Same with The Voice of The Netherlands/East Coast Radio.Very strong signal all day on New Years Eve with a lot of really good music.Well done guys.
I'm guessing that it was Radio Borderhunter who broadcast the American "Pirate Week" show.Great idea!Very interesting programme and well worth putting out.If you are interested the podcast can be found at;http://www.piratesweek.info/
I heard him later playing a couple of good songs about radio and the sound of fireworks.Good programme.
Radio Altrex also made me laugh with his;"Broadcasting from the land of cheese!".
The last station I heard in 2008 was the same as the first I heard in 2009........Pirate Music on 5800.
Radio Geronimo had the strongest signal they have ever had with
me.Was it them speaking in Dutch earlier?Or did I hear a Dutch Radio Geronimo also on 6205?
Nice to hear Magic AM again,it's been a long time.Good signal,though he did get a little caught up in the 6300 - 6310 mess.Very profesional programme as usual.
Nice to hear so many German stations on too.Dr.Tim came in
well and Radio Perfekt were strong but on a poor frequency.
Strongest signals over the two days were Borderhunter & VOTN/RECH.Scotland was next followed by Orion/Tina,Mystery & Geronimo.
