Tower/Veronique
Splatter Scandal!!!!


Tower/Veronique are unbelievable!How can they do it again after the critisism they got the last time?All the work and effort put in by JoJo & Alfred to stop stations coming onto the same frequency at the same time seem pointless when one selfish station jams half of the 48 metre band every month!!!!My Dutch friends..........you need to lean on this idiot............

By contrast,there was a nice little signal from a Dutch station on 6270Khz,between 1500 - 1600 last Sunday.Mainly Schlage,and he was not a high powered station.But he chose his frequency & timing perfectly,can anyone tell me who this clever UNID was?


Nice to see that a few stations are trying out new frequencies(To get away from the Tower idiots!!!)Spaceman on 4710,Orion all over the place!Alfa Lima on 6925 & many more above 6310.


Nice signals from Alfa Lima,Boomerang & especially Borderhunter this weekend.Borderhunter especially always does nice programmes with good music.


Back to Tower/Veronique...........the programmes are designed for a Dutch audience,yes I'm sure you can claim listeners in Belgium & Germany,but in the main,your listeners are in The Netherlands.So why broadcast on SW?You are running enough power.Put it on MW and leave the true International Pirates alone!!!!
I know the Ops of Tower/Veronique read this forum,time for a response............besides a couple of anonymous postings in your favour,most postings have been negative..........please respond.

Hi Andy,
I actually sent a text to Tower on Sunday am and told them that they had come on air with a undesirable signal and that they had ruined the signals of stations that had been on air prior to them.
Their response was predictable, " we can't move, we don't have another Xtal, etc, 6 khz between stations should be enough, is your radio working properly??" blah,blah,blah.
I really feel like giving up. Its a waste of time!
We just had a invite to go to the summer free radio camp next year!
I don't dare!
It's a long way back to to the UK just to get reliable medical treament!
Sadly disillusioned ,
Dave.

Would i like to have high power?,,,, Yes,, :pirate-great: 500.000 if i could..
But i would avoid jamming other pirates.
If i could not fix it i would pick a frequency where it was not sutch a problem if i,d splattert a bit

Are you jalous of high power stations that they have sutch huge power 8) .???
No, not at all... No mistake,, I would like to have some too.. but not jalous
It also would cause a lot of problems in my area so my mind tells me not to use high power. BUt,,, if i only could,,,, i would ;)

Did you couse interfierance to other pirates,,? :oops:
Yes i did, also a few times with splatter.. But when willing to solve problems , problems can be fixed or one can find a good sellution.

Tower and Veronique??
Absolute pirate radio,, getting sometimes close too the good old crazy farmers radio. I almost know for sure that also like the farmers they have a lot of listeners.
But,,, must do their best to solve their rig problem, when willing they can solve it. we are all on SW,, and we must stay in a good line with eatch other as we can help eachother and keep the SW a very friendly Pirate area or fight eatchother and start an interfierance war, and war is always the last option as there is no winner in it, Never!

So,,, a sugestion,,,
Anyone some real tips for the Tower and Veronique how they mayby solve there splatter problem?,,, a few xtals?? hehehe :)

Greetings Alfred

Hello All,

Also I agrea with alfred, jalous not at all, but if I could I use more power too! But enough about splatter and jammer! I guess we all won't make war at all, there is enough going on in the world.

Sulution's are deficult, I don't know how the Tower boys modulate, Only the Final tube(s) or in the driver? If they modulate the driver this could be the problem. I also guess they use to much High tones last Sunday. Altought the modulation was good, power full and good music, better is to cut off all above 6kc. Maybe with that high power they need a real sound processor?
