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
