Thurs June 1

Good conditions meant another busy evening on 48 metres. But before that, I've noticed Laser Hot Hits has made a slight change to one of their frequencies.

They've moved from 6219 to 6220.1. It does mean when Mystery Radio is on, there's no longer a heterodyne created by the two signals. But yesterday evening both stations were broadcasting but neither dominated 6220 so the result was just a mess.

Also LHH seems to have been running different programmes on 6220 and 6275.

Radio Mazda was heard on 6305 @ 1640 playing some polka before going off (44333) while on 6311 Radio Digital was playing 70s pop (33433).

A station I haven't heard for a long time is Radio Albatross who was on 6294 @ 1935 with a selection of oldies (44333) and email address of radioalbatross@hotmail.com

But his programme was spoilt by another station coming on 6295 making it impossible to hear. It seems the new station hadn't checked before switching on.

When Albatross flew off, Radio Victoria was heard on 6295 with oldies music (44333) @ 2020.

Meanwhile on 6300 a station was playing old recordings of Laser 558. It might have been Valley Wave who I have heard in the past playing tapes of the former offshore station. Heard @ 2000 with 22432 suffering from some utility QRM and not a good signal.

A break from the radio to watch the latest goings on in Big Brother on TV.

But when I returned Mazda was back on 6305 @ 2135 with a great signal (44444) before going off.

Also heard was Radio Dr Tim on 6301 @ 2145 calling Mazda and playing a German World Cup song - not long to go now! Coming in with a fair signal here (34333).

Finally on 6312 was West Coast Radio @ 2200 with mainly 80s pop - Depeche Mode, U2, Human League etc. Great signal (44444) and music. Also thanks for mentioning this website. WCR went off at 2305.
