Fri June 16

No doubt there was much Dutch celebrating last night after the Netherlands qualified for the next round of the World Cup, following their win over Ivory Coast.

Certainly there was a fair bit of Dutch activity on the bands later on. I heard Radio Mazda on 6290 @ 2035 with schlager coming in with 43433 SINPO. Usual ute QRM.

The noise levels were quite high last night on 48m so I have few unids as well between 2030 and 2100. On 6293 was another station - could be Eldorado but was lost under splatter from Mazda.

On 6296 another station heard playing Veronica jingles while on 6299 was another station playing rock music (Fox 48?).

There was also activity on 75m with Radio Continental on 3907 @ 33333 @ 2100. I think it was a joint broadcast with Radio Piepzender. There was a lot of chat in Dutch and polka music. Email address on continentalradio@hotmail.com Still on an hour later when the signal had improved.

The "secret sounds" of Radio Borderhunter were coming in well on 3925 @ 2220 with a 44333 SINPO playing rock music plus canned IDs in Russian.

Back on 48m West Coast Radio was on 6309 @ 2230 (34333) but a fair bit of fading by this time while on 6220 was Mystery Radio @ 2240, as usual.
