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

We English are famous for talking about the weather.But I have noticed that it is a favourite subject for The Dutch too.Something else we share in common!

The weather in London today was Sunshine,clear blue skies and very cold............The frost had not all melted by 1200,despite the sunshine.

Conditions on SW were strange today too.Signals were dropping in and out very quickly.

Two examples;

Radio Borderhunter was coming in with a huge signal at 1155.At 1200 it sounded like he had gone off air.Yet he was back by 1215 as strong as ever.

Radio Brandaris seemed to have just come on air at 0910 with a really good signal.In fact he was just closing down........
I wonder how long he had been on air and inaudible with me?

As I have explained above,signals came up and down today and it was hard to measure how good a signal really was.

Mystery were crashing in early this morning,but weaker later.
Playback seemed to get stronger during the morning..................

Nice to hear Radio Ramona for the first time in ages!

Who was my UNID on 6215?So strong I would suspect Shadowman or Boomerang.

Who was my UNID on 6240 playing Barones recordings?

I know Delta Radio is a common name.But the two Delta's I heard this weekend are surely not the same station.24432 & 55544 is a bit different!Any explanations?

Andy Richards.

JoJo was in a very mellow mood this morning!

Ha Andy thanks for the log, sorry if this was the first time for you.
Explanation; the friday and sathurday I was vy busy to move the whole studio from the outdoor box into the house. This morning I still had to do a few things but was on tim eon air and happy all was working fine because I didn't had the time to test it before. Thsi afternoon also testing in the 48mb and no problem.
Seccond the studio was warm; 18 degrees when I started and 2 degrees at the end pff. I didn't expect that so need some extra cooling. Anyway no frozen fingers or toons
