London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

I'm sure that,like me,you are all enjoying the recent explosion in SW Pirate activity!
I don't really get time to listen during the week,but I managed to find some time this week and was surprised to see so
many stations on.
I do miss my Sunday mornings though..........only two good regulars heard this morning,Orion & Orang Utan.They were weak,
but the band was very quiet,so no problem,RF gain on full and AF gain turned up!
The rest of my logs are all evenings or night time!
On a musical note,I love the Within Temptation song "Faster" and have been surprised not to hear it being played by any
of the Dutch stations(As the band are Dutch).But at last someone played it!First time I've heard it played by a Pirate!
Was it Powerline?

Conditions not so good tonight,so overall a good week and a poor Sunday!
