London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

Looks like evenings & night time seem to be getting more popular than mornings.
This Sunday morning was really quiet......mind you conditions were poor.
If it wasn't for Orion/Tina the band would have been dead today!
But I'm not complaining,Pirates in the evenings is good too!!

I enjoyed the Bluestar(Combination) broadcast.Great signal & the guys seemed to be having fun!

Skyline & Victoria were highlights too,as always,nice signals & nice shows.

The Orion/Tina combination were good too,always fun.

Really glad Zodiac is back.And I am pleasantly surprised at his good signals.
Music is superb of course......

TRX are a fairly new station.Great signals,really wonderful music on a Sunday evening.
But I would have liked to hear the voice behind this really nice broadcast.At least he used
ID jingles........

Which is more than I can say for 6425 tonight.Great signal & nice music too.From the signal.
mod quality & music I would guess it was maybe Black Bandit.But why no ID?

All the best signals this weekend were on 48m either in the evening or at night time,
except for Skyline & Laser,who were still doing well on 76m(Ish).

Best signals with me were Bluestar,Victoria,Marconi,Zodiac,TRX & Black Bandit(?)

Czesc Caroline!


Considering the distance,your signal was very impressive.
But it shows too how good 48m is at night right now.
