London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

Quite a busy weekend.Morning conditions on 48 were terrible today.They picked up for a while from 0815 till 0915 and
then went flat again.I gave up listening at 0930.Listening briefly in the afternoon and then again when conditions
picked up in the evening.

On Saturday night The Bogusman made the sensible move to 48 from his usual 76 and was a much better signal with me
than usual.Having said that,76 was pretty good for once and some good signals from Delta and Alice especially.

As for today,all signals were weaker than normal.
Even Atlantic 2000 via Radio 700 were struggling at first,but they picked up by 0815.
I've logged Geronimo twice just to show the difference 30 minutes could make.
But to be fair,all signals were coming and going in minutes.Magic and Orang Utan were both weaker than normal.

I didn't listen in the afternoon except to catch Paardenkracht with his usual signal.

By the evening things got better.LHH coming in well but still with a bit of noise down that end.
Telstar on 48 were probably the best signal ever with me,crashing in and playing some great music!
Once again 48m came alive at night.

A few new stations logged lately,which is a good sign.
