3904: Bogusman is probably the most active UK pirate on shortwave at the moment. On again tonight, heard @ 2005 playing a song "Bedside Radio" then some more tales about the life of Bogusman. SINPO 44433.

3925: Radio Boomerang very strong @ 2010 playing rock music. SINPO 54444.

6255: KBC v Lithuania @ 2215 - but almost a complete fade out on 48 metres so instead of the usual very strong signal, only poor-fair! SINPO 24332. By the time the station came to sign off @ 2300 the signal had recovered to 44433.

6260: Delta Radio playing 80s music @ 1420. SINPO 34433.

6301: Unid station playing rock music. Heard with Creedance Clearwater Revival @ 1425. Deep fades. SINPO 34433. It could be Extreme Radio, logged by Achim. Too much fading here to get clear ID.

6400: Weekend Music Radio slightly off normal 6401 frequency (6399.8kHz to be exact). Heard @ 1800 with Jack reading shortwave logs from 1978. Strong signal (44433). Was it the hoax station or has WMR adjusted its frequency?
