Cologne calling

Hello,

in Germany was a free day yesterday. I expected a lot of German stations but I could hear Likedeeler only. But I saw in Iann´s report that I missed Bermuda, if I remember right I opened my first beer that evening at those time.
My computer makes a lot of trouble at the moment so my logs are a little bit late.
We got visitors over the long weekend and we enjoyed being outside to catch some sun. So I listened only a little bit.
Reception conditions were better than the month before.
Absolutely nothing to hear from VOTN here in Cologne!

Sat

19:16 1655 55444 Baro with nice music AND good show
22:14 3905 55444 Borderhunter

20:55 3900 45433 Boomi
20:59 3900 44433 Bluestar again
Later on when Boomi was off and shortly before I was snoring I heard several station around 3905 just like Antonio

20:05 3933 35443 Likedeeler, later 35433
21:43 3933 35433 UNID hard to understand, ann.: this is an engineering test transmission of Q…..

I just saw I did not write down my Laser logs from 4032, but I heard you.

By the way, what is the worst case, which could happen to a pirate station next to get a visit from the post office? …….Yeah, that ´s right, Boomi and Delta in QSO 15khz beside your frequency.
Too hard stuff? Do not forget to smile about.


I wish you a sunny week. I will enjoy some short holiday.

Axel

Yes Axel, you are absolutely correct in your observations.

Unfortionally is it showed out that I blew up my negative peak limiter, (bandwidth reduction for over 100% modulation-depths) that evening, because of a bad connection in the coax/antenne plug.

At least I hope that this was de cause of all problems. :?

Please keep us informed.

Hallo Axel,

nice that you were missing Radio BERMUDADREIECK. But we have been on air but in cooperation with ON AIR AM in the afternoon. Conditions were not so good for 20 Watts.

Und lustige Bezeichnung für die typische holländische Piratenmucke "agriculture music" :lol: :o :o :o :o :o :o :o

Hello DJ Dipol,

I am still waiting for better conditions to catch you. Or ask Boomi how to put a huge signal onto the air.

Best wishes

Axel
