London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

For me,this weekend has been the best log for ages.

But conditions were not great and most signals were weak or suffering noise.But a few strong signals.

It was good to wake up to Orion this morning after his 3 weeks off.Not as strong as normal,but a good signal anyway.

Good to hear Borderhunter again too,for the first time since June.And what a signal too!
The gear is still working OK Frans.......:-)

I was also pleasantly surprised by the huge signal from Geronimo.Great music too.
Dave,what was the last song you played?The guitar instrumental?
Sounded like Gov't Mule.

As listeners,you have all done this.Tuned to a frequency,heard the mod and the type of music being played and you are fairly sure of which station it is...............usually you are right.
I got a surprise today.6210........often used by Scotland and VOTN and judging by the signal strength,good mod and type of music I thought it was one of them.
BUT NO!It was Mustang!
Good signal mate,if it is as good as Scotland or VOTN then it is VERY good!
Nice signal later on 6325 too.

76m was good tonight.An all English band.Must be a record.
Great to hear all the stations but I was particularly impressed by Phoenix Radio who had a good professional sound,played some good music and had a strong well modulated signal.
His style reminded me of some of the great MW Pirates in London in the early '70's.

Best signal was Borderhunter,closely followed by Geronimo,then Mustang and Orion.

Hi Andy. Thanks for the log and the comments. Much appreciated!
Well the last track on my show was an instrumental by Jan Akkerman (of Focus fame) but I think our engineer Chris did then play some extra tracks direct from the tx site so not entirely sure of the answer to your question.
Back soon with new progs
