Westcoast Finland log; May 10 & 11

Post by Jan II »

The A-index was lower than in long time so I was wondering if I should try the radio at all this weekend. Saturday sounded as I was afraid of, no stations at all before the evening. Sunday was a little better, but again weak signals.
I´m glad that so many stations were on air in the evenings, it saved my weekend... :)

Saturday May 10 (The worst day so far this year. No station heard in the afternoon and only PBI in the morning) :?

3932,2 2013 SW Radio playing a lot of instrumental songs this evening. 25232
6275,0 1823 Voice of the Netherlands playing rock and testing the transmitter before the sundayprogramme. 35433
6882,0 0702 Playback International and "Knock on wood". Excellent signal in the evening, 45544.
