After the holiday season, very quiet weekdays (including Friday night), then fair activity on Saturday and Sunday (including from Italian archives).
Time to protest against mangled IDs, highly distorted, mixed with noisy music, or uttered with a 'mouthfull of marshmallow' as a (poor) English accent
(.Radio City relays on 9510 kHz (Saturday mornings) always heard here with quite strong signals, but poor audio, noisy background : anyone hearing that, or is it just a problem with my RX ? I would like to hear crystal-clear transmissions like those from Black Bandit / Abu Dhabi.
