London Calling.

Very variable conditions this weekend.So much so that I have logged some stations twice just to show what difference
a few minutes can make.
Quite a lot of noise too at times and in general,most signals were weaker than normal most of the time.
Having said that,48m at night seems to be getting better.Tonight,as I post,48m is fairly quiet with some huge signals,
whereas the other bands are very noisy.

There are many reasons we all listen to the SW Pirates.
It is nice to hear good or interesting music,entertaining chat,something funny,strong signals,nice mod and many other things.
But for me,being a regular broadcaster,especially with some of the atributes I have just mentioned,is also important.
So,once again,I would like to praise Orion Radio especially,but also Orang Utan,Skyline & LHH for good regular programmes
on or near a frequency you expect to hear them on.
It is also great that some other stations are doing fairly regular programmes,some on regular or "regularish" frequencies.
Mike Radio especially,but Merlin,Geronimo,Victoria,Bogusman and even Altrex.
There are several others that seem to be quite regular too.This is good for us listeners as we get an idea when and where
these station might be on the air and listen out for them.
Being "Regular" is important.

Having said that,Radio Scotland Int is not what I would call a "Regular" Pirate(But he is always fun!) and he was the strongest
signal with me today by quite a bit.Also superb mod,but not the best.........
The best mod was my UNID on 6375 today,he was also the second most powerful signal here.From the signal and frequency,
I would guess this was Black Bandit.He was showing off his mod with the very bassy "Dub" style music he was playing and it
was unbelievable!

Nice to hear Radio Zodiac back!Nice music of course......

Other good signals this weekend were from Skyline,LHH,Powerliner,TRX,Marconi,Orion,New Wave,Merlin & Mike.

Hello Andy, thanks for the log and comment.

[Radio Scotland]

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the nice report and comments.
A regular show from R.S.I. ? No...can't do this..
My neighbour has no problem at all if my tx is coursing some interference ( on the cheap/poor audiosystem of their pc ) but only if i'm not active every weekend for hours. Neighbour was saying he like the kind of music i play, even if this coming from his pc...he has no sw receiver
To avoid problems with them i'm only irregular on air. That's why!

Greetings, Albert.

Thanks for the response guys and thanks Albert for making me laugh!!LOL!!
