London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

MW was much better than SW this weekend.(Not counting 76m)
Lots of really good signals.
I had a little help in IDing stations on Sunday night from "The Chat".Thanks guys!
I have no problem with Dutch stations playing traditional Dutch music,but it still pleased me to hear a nice broad range of European music on MW this weekend.Also many operators not just talking in Dutch,
but using German and English too.
MW is a local band,so stations are perfectly entitled to broadcast only to their own country.
But I still think it is nice when operators realise they have foreign listeners to try to include us too!
Especially when the signals are this good!!
