Still the holiday season.Pretty quiet everywhere,including the Pirate bands.
But we had at least one really good signal every day this weekend.
On Friday it was Skyline on 3900,nice and strong and some good tunes to start the weekend off.
On Saturday it was Spaceman with a very "Pirate" feel to his short programme,followed by a QSO with MRF and the equally strong Boomerang.Major Tom was "Armchair quality".
On Sunday it was Orion Radio,with his strong signal back every week now.
I especially enjoyed the French music and French Polka's,made a nice change from all the Dutch and German Polka's.
And Fantasy Radio tonight,very strong,good mod and music.
Quality music and quality presenter.

Worth a mention,Radio Saturnus,fair signal here,but on a really clear frequency with no noise and hardly any fading.Made for really good reception.

Strongest signals of the weekend came from Spaceman,Boomerang and Fantasy.
