London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

Quite poor conditions overall this weekend.But still a lot of activity.
I started the weekend tuning to 3905(As you do!) to listen to Henk(Skyline) and was surprised to hear Zodiac instead.
I love Skyline but I love Zodiac too,so it was a nice surprise.Always good to hear Zodiac.And anyway,I still got to hear
Skyline on both Saturday and Sunday night.
Black Bandit had very strong signals as usual on both Friday and Saturday nights,excellent mod and music too.He was
using yet another station name on air,but I'm a bit bored of all that.With a voice and signal like that,we all know who it is.
Just stick to one name........;-)
No Orion or Orang Utan heard this morning.........my earlybirds!I see Orang utan was on,but I haven't heard him in weeks
anyway.Was Orion on?
Merlin was pretty busy this weekend too.But he was probably a better signal on the continent than here.Was he really on
the air all day today?I heard him this morning and this evening too,did he close down at any point?
We still have a couple of stations playing non stop music with no voice and maybe very rare ID jingles.I've said before that
I find this annoying(As do many listeners).I'm not mentioning any names,but I know who these stations are and they seem
to be happy that people on "The Chat" know who they are.But not all of us use "The Chat" all the time........please ID for all
the listeners.
Good signals from Powerline,Marconi,Borderhunter,Magic,Continental & Alpenroos too.
