• Lots of pirate and hobby stations on the air this weekend, but many hard to hear, and often the voice announcements sound worse than the music. The frequencies around 6300 are often unused, or overused, as it happened on Saturday night around 2200 UTC (hard to untangle what was on, tnx Terry for a few more clues). Have you any guess about that Dutch station named something like "R. Unterganter" ?
