After last weeks exceptional loggings, I was not surprised that things were a little quieter this week. Conditions were still good, just not as many stations on the air.
Only two new stations this week, Marinebroadcaster from the Netherlands (relaying RNI) and Admiral Wombat Radio from the US (bravely poking fun at Commander Bunny). It was also nice to hear the best signals ever from Spaceshuttle, Napolean and Toekmost.
It has been a sad week for me, however, as I have witnessed a viscous personal attack on one of my friends in the frn. It may be a long time, if ever, before I post there again. On the positive side, however, I have never been more appreciative of my European friends.
