Interesting weekend again. No weekend is like the other. The high activity from England continues with new stations popping up. I saw in some log that also Bogusman was on the air Friday evening, great. Sonnet on air again, and BoB, and Telstar South, and WRI, and Laser, and Merlin with a big transmitter now
I have never heard Merlin this good before! Be careful Paul, so you don´t wake up the wrong people with this strong signal... The only catastrophe for me this weekend happened on Sunday evening. I went to bed around 2100 UTC (midnight local time here) and a few minutes after this Fantasy Radio (from England ?) came on air on 5780 kHz and was heard all over the world. Very bad timing from my side. But you can´t hear all stations I guess...
