London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

No problems with conditions this weekend,despite the volcanic ash cloud returning!!

Seems that a few of the lower powered stations(Especially UK ones) have decided that it's worth returning to the airwaves.Nice to hear Underground and WNKR back and reports of UK Rocks the World on 15760 too(I didn't hear them myself).Along with Best of British,LHH,Geronimo,Bogusman and the hopeful return of
Galaxy next week,it's looking good for the UK Pirates.

Of course it is always good for the Dutch Pirates,but good to hear a few new stations recently,like Musicmaker and Bonte Koe.Polaris was busy this weekend too with some very good signals at times.
Best signals of the weekend here were Orion and Scotland.Orion was his usual very good signal and Scotland was perhaps a little stronger than usual.His mod was exceptionaly good,if perhaps a little low.
He was running his live webcam too but this time with sound as well.

Can anyone give any info on two new stations(To me),Shoreline Radio and Radio Ridiculous?
I really enjoyed Radio Ridiculous's "Pirate Mix" very well done.

Great stuff Andy. Not sure if Geronimo counts as a UK station but I guess some of the programmes are produced there so it probably does LOL!
Conditions still generally poor in my neck of the woods although they do seem better after dark, with Spaceman and Magic AM both putting in good signals late last night (Mon)
