Hi,

Lots of stations on the best time: evenings/late evenings, mainly from NL. Italians were still on, but the smaller BarraCuda (with a C) was hard to hear on 6240, often flattened by strong signals. It seemed that Merlin was playing its all before being evicted from its premises. Focus tried a higher band, on 9290 kHz, but with quite weak signals. Bogusman was about alternative arts, not so easy to explain to foreign ears on low power SW, and Radio GSV was the very weak voice of Scotland. Radio Blackbeard announced to be testing on MW again (but to where?). There were also odd voices from Germany, France, and also eastern and northern countries (but I missed Atlantic 2000 and Spaceshuttle).

Look at the details for R. Kilohertz (anyone reminding that R. Reken ?) and "Sandra" Radio on Wednesday that became Radio "Romania" on Friday.
