But one of the disadvantages,for a Short Wave listener,is noise.
It comes and goes.And the source is uncertain.
For me today,above 6220 was unusable early morning.Fine for a while after 1230.
Crazy!
Despite the noise,you can see many stations heard,but mainly below 6220 this morning.
On Saturday,Cupid had a very good signal on 6210.This was also a very good frequency for Paardenkracht today.Both stations had really nice,clear signals here.
Who was the strong UNID on 6220 on Saturday?Not Mystery!
Today began for me,as it usually does,with Orion.Another rock solid signal and an entertaining show.Nice one John!
After a brief QSO,Quintus took over on 5815 and carried on with a good signal.
Did anyone hear that noise on 6190 this morning?I'm assuming it was a Pirate.
But I have heard legal stations making a mess on the bands too!Someone relaying or playing a recording of some legal Dutch station.Terribly overmodulated and splattering everywhere!
East Coast Holland came through well and with the usual good taste in music.....
I didn't get Altrex too well this weekend.Better on Saturday.But I missed many of his comments.This guy often makes me laugh,he is very good.
Brandaris had a really good signal on 6305.With his usual smooth voiced DJing.
Unfortunately he was flattened for 30 minutes.
Optimod had a superb signal,with great mod on 6300.But he killed Brandaris for half an hour!
Brandaris,you get too much interference on or around 6300.I'm sure I speak for most readers of this forum when I say we would prefer to hear you without interference.
Why not try an "Off band" frequency?I'm sure the listeners will follow you.
As for Optimod,probably not his fault.He probably couldn't hear Brandaris.
Lastly,Lowland had a nice clear signal here.
Strongest signal of the weekend here was Optimod.
Closely followed by Orion,Brandaris,Quintus,Scotland,East Coast and Cupid.
Not so strong,but really clear signals from Monte Carlo,Paardenkracht and Lowland.
