What a contrast between Saturday & Sunday!

Saturday had more Pirate activity than I can evere remember(On a Saturday) and Sunday was dead here!

LHH was crashing in on 6275.Nice to hear my old Radio Floss associate Tim Allen with a programme!They seemed to be trying out 6210 too,but with different programmes.(Same as 4025).

Strong signals too from Calypso,Lowland & Orion.

But the best was saved till last.......Radio Borderhunter on 3905!Superb signal.
"Armchair quality"........that is to say,turn the RF gain right down,turn the AF gain right up,pour yourself a drink,sit back in the armchair & enjoy!!Superb variety of music too.I listened till closedown at 2347 hoping for a good day on Sunday.

Now,I'm not as technical as some of you out there and nobody told me that some solar
wormhole was about to explode or something!So I expected a good Sunday!
All seemed good at 0830..........the band was nice and quiet.........too quiet!It soon dawned on me that SW was closed for Pirates today!
Who was the station or stations that just about broke through on 6305 today?

Hi Andy,

the station on 6305 (I logged 6306) this Sunday was Radio Viking with very long programme. I am not sure if your second log also concerns this station but I suppose that it could be still Viking.
