London Calling.

A great weekend for Pirate Radio!

I'm guessing that the fact that next Sunday is Christmas Day was partially the cause.As it is difficult,when you
have other commitments,to broadcast on Christmas Day.

Slightly strange conditions though.Orion were weaker than normal on 5820 and yet I heard Orang Utan quite
well on 6200 and I haven't heard him at all for a while!

Too many nice broadcasts to comment on them all.

I'll just mention the ones I enjoyed the most.

Telstar still pumping out those great "Memories".........KBC are always classy.......
Devalon's programme was very interesting as usual,with some great recordings........The Bogusman is a legend..........
....The broadcasts via MV Baltic were all good,EMR are always entertaining and Saxonia played some great music.......
FRSH did it for me this weekend though,Peter Verbruggen's show with Pirate and Radio news was superb as was Dave Scott's
programme with audio clips and great music.

Not counting the "Legal Pirates",there were plenty of strong signals too,Black Power,Boomerang,Alice,LHH,Caroline,
Delta/Titanic,Bogusman,Devalon,Victoria & Scotland.
