London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

I heard Radio Universe say that conditions were strange today.
And he was right.
Can't put my finger on why,but it was strange.

The morning began as usual for me with a cracking great signal from Orion.I normally enjoy the music he plays but this week John was less chatty than normal but played some really good tracks.

Borderhunter was in "Rock Mode" this week.Some thumping great tunes!

Good to hear Orang Utan is still on every week,good clear signal and some great old Soul Music.

Merlin not so good with me this week,signal came and went.

Altrex really makes me laugh.Singing along to "Hit the road Jack",he sounds like a Dutch Wolfman Jack!
His signal got stronger as the morning went on.I look forward to better conditions so that I can listen to him longer.Great fun!

Talking of Altrex,the low power stations did OK today,Altrex,Saturnus,Northpole,Trans Europe and Universe all doing well.

But of course,the best signals came from the higher powered Orion,Borderhunter,Scotland and VOTN.

Too many UNIDS for me.I am especially curious about 6220,playing some nice songs and 6265 who had superb mod,but with hardly any bass.Obviously someone testing a new set up,but with a little more bass this would have been a really good quality signal(And pretty strong too!).

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the log! Always nice to read that you can copy my small signal in London :D

And yes, the conditions were 'strange' but that's normal the last few weeks (is my opinion 8) )

All the best from Holland,

Radio Universe
Free radio.... better radio ;-)
