London Calling.

Post by Andy Richards »

The Sunday before Christmas is usually quite busy.
So I made sure I got up a little earlier than normal today and it was worth it!
Conditions were pretty good too so loads of stations heard.
The weather helps too I think.There is a feeling,probably justified,that you are less likely to be raided when weather conditions are poor.I remember we always used to love it when it snowed,it gave you an extra feeling of safety.Plus the signals seem to get out better with the improved earth!!

LHH have never been a very good signal with me but since they have returned I can barely hear them.

Orion was on early and closed early.Solid signal.

Borderhunter was massive to start with but as the morning drew on he started to get long and deep fading,almost fading out.I tend to get very good signals from Borderhunter but this long deep fading is common too.Mic was still a problem to start with but was better after adjustments.
Still not as good as it used to be though........:-(

German station RNI did OK.Nice clear frequency gave me good reception.

Geronimo had a good signal on a nice clear channel and some great music too.Dave Scott even mentioned an Andy Richards e-mail!Played one of my favorite bands too.......Govt Mule.Fan forever now!

Devalon were pretty strong here,which was great as I always find their mix of Pirate logs,recordings and music very entertaining.

Delta Radio had a strong signal and superb mod too.Really nice music mod.

Great to hear WMR back.I had forgotten how much I enjoyed Jack and Mike's programmes.
Really pleased to have you back guys and a great signal too!!

So we had signals from Scotland,England,Eire,France,The Netherlands,Germany & Italy!
(I think there may have been Polish and Scandinavian Pirates that I didn't hear too).
Nice to see the SW Pirate scene all over Europe right now.

I'll take this opportunity to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas.

I wish you all a pleasant and happy time over Christmas and good luck and good health in the New Year.
