London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

I was going to say what a quiet weekend it was.
But looking at the log below there were a fair number of stations heard.
Having said that.There was very little in the way of proper programmes.
I don't get good reception of the Irish Pirates,so I can't really listen to LHH or Atlantic properly.
But they do very good programmes.
So,for me there was only Skyline and Orion to really enjoy.Both very good and with some terrific music.
There was very good music from Free Radio Victoria too,but just music.What happened to the chat?
I enjoy his chat too!Come on Victoria,turn the mic on!I want to hear you!:-)

Best signal and programme of the weekend by far,goes to Orion.Despite the occasional very deep fade he was peaking
55444 here and a solid 45434 the rest of the time.The music was great,varied and well thought out.
After Orion,I would give it to Skyline,also a very good signal,though not as strong as Orion and some very nice music
too.
As for the rest?Besides Victoria,they were either too weak,not on long enough or just testing or QSOing.
No real programmes.
