London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

Yet another day with weird conditions and a fair bit of noise.
Stations fading in and out,with some surprisingly weak and surprisingly strong signals.

Not too many stations in my log,but several had good signals despite the conditions and the quality of programmes was pretty high today too.

Surprised I couldn't hear Saxonia after their terrific signal last week.

Laser are still not the signal they were with me.Strangely,I can often hear them on Saturdays but not on Sundays.

Orion Radio seem to be back to the solid signal we are used to,but John had to close early today.
Happy Birthday to your son John!

Radio Borderhunter were pretty weak with me again.Shortwave is always unpredictable.

As usual I enjoyed what I heard of Free Radio Victoria but he faded out early.

Radio Devalon were the best signal I have ever had from them.Peaking at 55434.

Radio Marconi was another one that was peaking well at 55434 too.

But the best signals today were from the two R.S.I's........Scotland and Star.
Both with huge signals and superb mod.
Different broadcasts of course,but I found Albert's attempts at singing as interesting as Matt Roberts chat.Both great entertainment!

If I hear anything else tonight I'll add to my logs.

Added;Skyline Radio Int........nice signal tonight!
