That's the thing with Shortwave.......you never know what it's going to do......
And that was the case again today.
52m was again noisier than 48m(Some parts of 48m were noisier than others!)
This was not a great problem for Orion as his signal is strong enough,but even he had to tune down to 5818 this week
to avoid utility interference.The noise was too much for Saturnus though and he sensibly opted to use 6526 instead of following
Orion.Doesn't Saturnus have a great voice?.......you could do commercials or jingles with a voice like that!
Conditions were variable too,with station signals changing quite a lot in a short space of time.Which is why I have logged
some stations twice,just to show the difference.Mike and Geronimo had the biggest differences.Both went from OK to really
strong.
Cheers to Dave Scott for the Govt Mule,great stuff.I will also add to his on air comments about SW Pirates when I get time
on the "Crap Heap" section of this forum.As he said,you need to log in to see it so that means you need to register with
Alfa Lima and not just read it as a "Guest".
Black Bandit was doing a mod test today.His station has one of the best mods of all the SW Pirates already.I didn't
hear any improvement today.It was just superb as usual.
As I post I have just heard a great signal on 6306 from Bluestar.Shows that 48m is opening at night now.
Best signals of the weekend came from Black Bandit,Mike,LHH,Orion,Geronimo & Marconi.
