London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

For the first time in many weeks I had the time for a good listen this weekend.

Skyline was the only station heard on Friday.But they had a good signal & some good music too.

No strong signals on Saturday,except for Delta.

Sunday was best as usual.

Huge signal from Orion.If not the best ever then as good as the best.Superb!

By contrast,Scotland was weak here.As were all the other signals except for Star.

With the people involved in Star,you expect a really professional station.Which is what you get.
Really good programmes,with something for everyone.
Musically,my favorite show was Samantha James.But we could have heard a bit more of her............
Lord knows we have few enough female Pirates.It would have been nice to have heard more of her,maybe next time she can truly join the ranks of Jackie Frost,Tante Foeke and even Lady Spaceman!
I guess she let the music do the talking and I can't fault that..........brilliant Classic Rock!!
My favorite show was Matt Roberts,as it was last time.Nice music and some great "Anorak Chat".
Tim Anderson's Soul & Jazz show was very good too but as usual 6400 is poor after 1400......

Phoenix Radio were a fair signal here,good music & I like the Operators voice..............Very good.
You could work for the BBC with a voice like that...............

Nice that the UK have a few stations now;Star,Phoenix,WMR,UK Radio,Geronimo,Merlin,Telstar South,WNKR,
Underground,Bogusman and more........

Strongest signal of this weekend was Orion Radio.

Hi Andy,

Did missed your logs already, but nice to see you find time to listnen.
Only... sorry to see my signal was not strong as usual
Was not using full power by the way: 350 watts.

Think your UNID on 6375 at 11:10 was Trans Europe Radio.
T.E.R, Rob007 and myself had a QSO on that freq.

Greetings, Albert.

I Blame the Studio Mic
