It was a bit noisy on the bands here this weekend,which made it difficult to listen to some of the weaker signals.
But there was still plenty on.

LHH continue to have a strong signal on 4025.Didn't hear them on 6210 this weekend,I don't know why they seem to think they need it with such a good signal on 4025.

Skyline and was it Overjissel?Made good use of 3905 on Friday and Saturday night,both coming in well.

Orion had a huge signal on 5820 this morning,Powerline were pretty good on 5835 but I could not hear FRSH on 5800 at all.

Starlight and Central both made good use of 6200,both with pretty good signals.

I couldn't catch all of the FRSH broadcast of course,but what I heard was well presented and interesting.Nice long transmission.
Big signal on 6005 and not bad on 7600 either.I don't think it was FRSH on 6265 playing Coldplay and FRSH plugs.
My guess is that it was Geronimo.

Geronimo were very strong on both 6220 and 6265.

Telstar had one of the best signals with me for a long time.Better on 48m than on 52m with me.

Merlin also made a nice long transmission on 6325 getting stronger and stronger here as the day went on.
Loved the Halloween music and clips in the late afternoon.

It was good to hear so many stations from the British Isles on today.

Strongest signal by far with me was Orion,then Geronimo and then FRSH on 6005.

Other good signals were from Overjissel,Starlight and Merlin.

Thanks Andy. A busy day for me today :)

The promos for FRSH heard early on 6200 and 6265 were from R East Coast Holland.

Geronimo may be on sooner but will certainly be on 21 Nov and FRSH is back 28 Nov with part 2 of the anthology. Maybe next time I wikll play more music and less talk but just following instructions LOL! :)

73s Dave

Hello Andy,

Here in South-West of France, 4025 is working well only at night. During daytime, nothing on 4025. But the signal is good on 6210.
I think they are transmitting on 6210 for that.

Greetings.
Michel

Hello Andy,

thanks for the log. Exactly I was on 5818kc this weekend because before start there was someone on 5810 and 5825kc so I sat down just between them.

Dave;

OK,so I guessed wrong!Good signal frome East Coast Holland though!


Michel;

I think you have the answer.Reception of LHH is poor to non existent at most times here on 6210.But good in your area.So the two frequencies are complimentary.But it does take up another good clear frequency when there are so few anyway.


JoJo;

I did hear you say you were on 5818 but logged you as 5820 anyway
because I don't have a receiver that is accurate enough.
When I upgrade I will log your EXACT frequency......5818.0723 :-)
As I said,REALLY good signal this weekend!
