John of Orion radio got it right last week when he posted;
>For pirates, it is frustrating to (almost) not to be heard, but we keep on "rocking" the airwaves.
It is just as frustrating for the listeners too!
Still,John cheered me up this morning when he played Whitesnake's - "We wish you well".
My station,Radio Floss,used to start broadcasts with Rainbow's - "Still I'm Sad",an instrumental that we used to set the mod up with and we closed with Whitesnake's - "We wish you well".
A good farewell message and nice and short(About 1 minute and 30 secs).
If you get a 35333 report below,you were doing well.All stations faded in and out and anything below S7 was lost in noise.Orion,VOTN and Zodiac were at that level,at times inaudible and at times 45334.
I didn't get an ID on the station on 6220 this morning,though I have been told it was VOTN.
I knew straight away it wasn't Mystery.Besides the lack of jingles,the music was different,but the biggest clue was the mod sound.Much clearer than Mystery but not as much bass.
Laser were OK on Friday night but poor the rest of the weekend.Didn't hear Playback at all and only heard Mystery late this afternoon.
What can I say about Spaceman that hasn't been said before?
Poor conditions,noisy band,lack of sunspot activity.............tune into Major Tom.....crashing in!!!
No problem for The Spaceman!!
It is only about 2000 UTC as I post this so there may be something on later.If I log anything I will post again.
