Westcoast Finland log 17 & 18 January

Post by Jan II »

Interesting weekend this. Not so many stations on air as the propagation seemed to be poor in central Europe. Up here saturday was the bad day with a quiet 48 mb, only Altrex found the way through the fog (cheese?) and reached my radio.

Sunday was interesting. I could hear most of the stations being on air but with low signals. The strange thing was that also the powerful stations came in with the same low signalstrength (except for PBI & Mystery who were outstanding early in the morning). Not much difference in strength between Misti and Borderhunter...
Sunday evening I spent on 1696, where Texas from Serbia was playing nice blues. \:D/

Saturday 17 January

5801 0816 PlayBack International with old jazz. 35433
6214,8 0926 unid but probably King Shortwave weak with pop here. 15411
6260,1 0827 Radio Altrex saved this morning. Nice "dongs" from incoming chats heard at this hour. Was Ianns blog connected to the transmitter...heh... Boney M one hour later... 25333

Sunday 18 January

5801 0710 PlayBack International playing oldies. "California dreamin'" ended, continued with "Return to sender". 35433
5813,7 1041 Shortwave Cowboys was suddenly here with Meat Loaf. Still heard 1120. 25333
5815 0844 Orion Radio also with Meat Loaf. A god mix of all kind of music; american rock, french polka, german waltz, english pop, schlager... Still heard 10.30 but must have signed off soon after that. 35433
5830 1031 Radio Geronimo with rock and pop. 25322
6210,2 1106 Misti Radio playing rock like most of the stations this day. Sign off 1116. Around 1138 rock again on 6210,0. That station signed off 1140. QSO? 25322 on both stations.
6220 0700 Mystery Radio nonstop music/ID-programme. "Sugar baby love" at this hour. Strong! 45544
6260 1350 Radio Bermudadreieck with nonstop announcements and IDs. Was totally killed when CVC signed on 1400. 25322
6300 1403 Radio Borderhunter played a song about Drentheland. Sign off 1409. 35444
6310 1416 Radio Bermudadreieck was not killed on 6260 after all. DJ Dipol found here as a refugee some minutes. Sign off 1419. 25332
6316 1208 unid but 99% Rammstein Radio heard with thundering rock deep under the noice. Some minutes later a mail from Dr Tim was telling Rammstein was on this fq. 15311
6325 1003 Radio Saturnus was wondering if anybody could hear him. He had no internet in the studio so he couldn´t check weblogs and chats... 25322
6523,8 1057 Radio Ramona rocking here, still after 1220. I think I haven´t heard Ramona since last spring. Welcome back to my radio! 25322

Radio: NRD 525G
Antenna: outdoor wire, 20 metres long.

Thank you all stations. Glad you came on air even if the radioweather was bad!
