London Calling.

I listen mainly to Pirate stations on 76,52 and 48m.But I do tune across the hf bands and listen to the various Echo Charlie bands,especially 45m and to the Freebanders and CB'ers on 27mhz as well as the Amateur HF bands,80,40 and 20m especially. Conditions today were terrible everywhere! At night w...

London Calling.

A busy weekend. Nightime conditions were good. Daytime conditions were variable with stations fading in and out in 15 and 20 minute cycles. The story of the weekend has to be Radio Scotland's signal on Saturday night!Just the strongest SW Pirate I have ever heard! Stronger than Shadowman,Black Bandi...

London Calling.

Except for this morning,all my listening this week was at night. Daytime conditions are not great. Although Orion & Scotland were fine today,the rest were not so good. The best signals were at night. Laser are still knocking out a good signal most of the time. Geronimo were strong today but the ...

Re: London Calling.

Hi Radio Caroline, Thanks for the comments.But I am no great DX'er.I listen a lot but I use fairly basic equipment.There are many other posters on this forum who use much better equipment than me and live a lot further away from Central Europe than I do.I'm thinking especially of North America here....

London Calling.

Quite a busy week. Conditions during the day are not too good right now,but good to very good at night. LHH are usually not very strong here during the week.I reckon they must turn the power up at weekends. Sounds logical to me.But they have had a good signal all week here.Good conditions or are the...

London Calling.

I didn't really have much time for radio this weekend.I heard a few stations on Friday night a couple this morning and a few tonight. Not enough to warrant a full post of logs.But I had to say something about three stations tonight. Laser on 4015 are absolutely crashing in here.Wonderful signal. Mer...

Poor conditions this weekend on 6Mhz.Better higher up the band. Saturday night was the best.A few stations on tonight too but Sunday morning there was only one station worth a mention, Orion Radio.....and he was a better signal than KBC here!! Saturday night we heard a slight problem with Spaceman a...

London Calling.

I haven't had much time for radio in the last month.Which is why I haven't posted.Even this weekend we went out at midday yesterday and did not return home till early this morning,so I missed a lot of radio yesterday afternoon and evening. But I think I heard enough to warrant a post. Conditions wer...

A good Easter Monday. Conditions were poor today but pretty good tonight. Many of the stations that have been busy all weekend were on again today. There was a station on 6310 tonight playing "Dragonslayer" with a strong signal and his optimod cranked right up. So he was splattering 15Khz ...

Easter weekend is always busy. Nice mix of stations on this weekend so far and we still have tomorrow! Good to hear stations from Ireland,The Netherlands,Germany and The UK. I'm always glad to hear Spaceman. And at one point today the only stations audible here were three UK stations. That has to be...

Fairly poor conditions this weekend. A lot of stations fading right out and then back in and some deep and rapid fading when stations were "In". The 6240 UNID has anounced itself as Focus International.Good strong signals most of the time and quite lengthy test transmissions.Sounds like a ...

London Calling.

3905 was the frequency this weekend. Not only did we have two really good stations with powerful signals on both Friday and Saturday night, but conditions were good too.On top of that,both Skyline & Spaceman benefited from the fact that they had very little competition.Unlike Sunday mornings. Sp...

What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday was the quietest I can remember,but today was really busy. Where to start? Radio Countdown is a new station for me.Pretty good signal today,but better on Saturday afternoon. Orion kicked off today's programme with a load of Demis Roussos...........feeling ...
