Free radio pirates on medium and short wave messageboard of alfa lima

Too busy this weekend to listen to a lot of radio.

But I was able to listen a bit this morning.

Strange conditions.Seemed like no short skip.Long skip?Maybe not.American friends can tell us.
Medium skip maybe!Certainly many regular stations,especially from The Netherlands,were weaker than normal.But 6220 & 6400 were very strong.So,Medium skip?

Lots of fading and more static and crackle than we have been used to recently.

Orion Radio was weaker than normal,signal did peak up at times.Hard to gauge his SINPO.
Antonio & Brandaris had nice signals.
Mystery were very strong and WMR,sorry,CMR were the strongest signal today.

Hi, Andy.
6400 is via 'Island R.' Also heard little signal from PBI and Orion. Then short receptions from Antonio and DRP. Also heard Saturnus earlier on 6290. Pretty decent signal from somone on 6303 around 0930 (maybe Boomerang?), and Brandaris a bit later not as strong on 6305. Then R. Geronimo for a few minutes on 5825, and then for a little bit longer after I found them again on 5830. also caught the last 30-min. of Baggerteam last night until 2303* on 3935.4.
Very rainy conditions here all night and still this afternoon, so maybe that contributed to the unusual reception conditions last night and this morning?

Hi AV,

Thanks for that.

But I would be most surprised if the signal relaying Celtic Music Radio on 6400 today was Island radio.Too powerful and my portable was not pointing at Ireland.

He was on Iann's chat http://www.easyshopdiscountzone.com/rad ... e/english/ last weekend and said it would be him that would be relaying Celtic this weekend.
He usually practically booms in here when he is on. I think he said he uses around 300-watts. Hope this helps.
