Ok, I have the chance to get away from the electric smog of my home and enjoy some open comforts in an isolated QSO with little electric interference so as an experiment I'm going to do a live update thread of stations I'm picking up this evening on the 76m and 48m bands. I hope to keep this going until at least 2200 UTC tonight bar an emergency.

QSO is "somewhere" in Northern Ireland, receiver is an Eton E5, receiving aerial is either a 25 metre horizontal random wire or a 6 metre vertical wire, both of which are grounded.

Format of reports from myself are: Frequency - Station ID - SINPO - Time (UTC) - Comments (all details subject to change).

So let's go...

3905 - Skyline Radio Int. - 53344 - 1805 - Playing Sister Sledge "We are Family", Tina Turner "Simply the best" & Fiction Factory "Feels like Heaven" mixed with announcements, unfortunately I have trouble understanding what sounds like a Dutch accent :( EDIT: Station ID updated based on uxdxer's blog update. 2nd EDIT: Station is getting hammered by SSB QRM 1950UTC.

6220 - Mystery Radio - 43333 - 1837 - Dance & disco music with ID, getting annoying whistle that is (mostly) cut out by narrowing the received bandwidth.
