London Calling.

[Andy Richards]

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 nostalgic for the early
'70's John?Say what you like,he did have a great voice.

EMR with nice signals on both 6005 & 9480,but 9480 had less noise.

Both Radio Joystick & The Bogusman made some risque comments today.Charlie on Joysick about him
being your lollypop..........and Bogus with a poem about an armadillo..........as for The Bogusman,is he
changing his musical style?He still plays Indie Rock.But I've noticed some really good,more traditional
Rock & Blues creeping into the programmes.........for me,this is a nice trend.

KBC continue to pump out a huge Rock'n'Roll signal every weekend.I hope they continue.

Wizard Radio was testing today.Not bad for 35 watts.He got plenty of reports via "The Chat" and a very strong Cupid Radio
came back to him too.

Rainbow had a nice signal too with their message of peace programmes.

There was no Skyline on 76 metres either on Friday or Saturday.He popped up on 48 metres today.
Same great signal and music as on 76 metres.Nice to hear him on a Sunday morning for a change.
But I wonder about the reaction.I'm sure he got a good response to his programme today but with all
that competition,how long did people actually listen for?I suspect people will listen longer to his Friday or
Saturday night broadcasts.

Radio Zodiac.......what can I say?The best daytime signal I have heard from the new TX.Really good and the music
was great as always.
