London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

Quite good listening today.Very little noise and signals pretty good.

Best signal today was Borderhunter,closely followed by Scotland.After that it was VOTN and then Bogusman,Mystery and Paardenkracht.

EMR were only very slightly stronger than Borderhunter.Good to hear the Radio Jackie Story again.

Good too to hear so many low powered stations with good signals.

Power is interesting,1Kw will always give a better signal than 100w.But sometimes there is very little between the two.Today,several stations were running 50w or less and doing OK.
It does make you think.Power is like insurance.You should be OK.But it is no guarantee of a good signal and with careful choice of frequency a really good signal can be achieved on low power.
It is nice to hear a good high powered Pirate but I am just as pleased when I hear a good signal from a low powered Pirate.In some ways it is an even better achievement.
