London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

Quite a busy Christmas weekend,with some pretty strong signals even though fading was quite deep at times.

I lost Orion Radio altogether at one point but he faded back up after a few minutes.Nice signal when you were up though John!

WMR with a good signal on 3910 which was still audible well into Sunday morning(Unusual here),6400 was very good till midday but nothing on 3945 tonight.

Radio Quintus had a nice signal away from all the other stations on 6325.

Nice signal too from Radio Zodiac on 6270,with some really good music as usual!

Strongest signals?Boomerang of course & Delta Radio too.

Must mention Radio Oskar Zulu & Antonio Radio too as although they were not huge signals,they had chosen such clear frequencies and came through really well;

A few years ago,after a few years away from the Pirate scene,I was one day lazily tuning a small portable SW radio across the 48m band and came across;Radio Alpha Lima International!This station,with a great signal & very professional live programmes reminded me what the spirit,sound & excitement of Pirate radio was.So thanks Alfred for restarting this old Pirate heart!And thanks too to you and your
helpers for this great forum..........the ONLY forum for European AM Pirates.I really look forward to hearing your voice on the airwaves again next year!!

I would like now to wish everyone who reads this forum a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year.
Thanks to all the people that have sent me e-mail cards & greetings & let's look forward to a great 2008!
