London Calling.

I didn't intend to log stations all week but every night when I tuned the radio there seemed to be at
least one Pirate on the air!First time I've done this.
I guess it's because it's the holiday season,so people have more time to go on air.

Laser logged every day this week,except Monday.I see they tried 6935 out on Tuesday.

Black Bandit had his normal HUGE signal on Tuesday night.

Saturday night was very busy.With nice signals from Zodiac,Victoria and Einstein on 48 but
Delta was the strongest down on 76.

Sunday morning was the busiest in ages too.With Saturnus covering for Orion down on 52 with a pretty
good signal.
Altrex had one of the best signals I have heard from him.
Gloria was just as strong here on 6005 as 9480 with the programmes a few seconds out of synch.Also,the
mod on 9480 was much narrower than 6005.
Marconi is usually a good signal here and was heard well on Thursday and Sunday nights.

But the biggest signal of the week?By miles!
It was Radio Scotland Int...........blowing my radio's up!
He was stronger this morning than Black Bandit was on Tuesday night.
When I give a SINPO report I very rarely give a 5 for "Overall",because even a strong signal will not be perfect
if there is fading.But Scotland's signal was so good and had so little fading that I gave him a 55545.

All in all a great week for SW Pirate radio!

Hi Andy,

Thanks for the nice comments! Great SINPO.
Athough i thought conditions were not very good at daytime in the summer, i was going on air anyway.
Only due the very bad weather... nothing else to do.
In the summer, i spend most sundaymornings riding on my off-road motorbike. (also driving at not allowed terrain, so illegal again, as on other sundays ) but i do not like driving in the rain at all!

Greetings, Albert R.S.I.

[Caroline]

Hi Andy,

many thanks for such log of us at saturday, 23-07-2011 on 6207kcs!!!
Power was 70watts.

Good that we closed down 10 minutes after "Voice of Iran" was switching on.
But: Did they had any stronger signal then we had, haha????

Greetings,
Radio Caroline International.

[saturnus]

Thanks Andy for reporting.
Btw,the song from Shocking Blue is Blossom Lady

[Andy Richards]

Saturnus,

"Blossom Lady"!!It was killing me trying to remember the name of the song and I just couldn't!Thanks for putting me out of my misery...

Caroline,

Yeah,Voice of Iran were "just a little bit stronger" than you....................but they have more than 70 watts!


Albert,

I don't know how you do it.(You probably don't either)But anyway,an amazing signal!(Especially for daytime!).
