Sun July 30

Almost a total fade out on 48 metres first thing with only Laser just about audible on 6220/6274 - no Dutch stations at all @ 0745. The situation didn't improve until mid-morning when more stations began to appear. Only signals from Ireland seemed to be making the skip.

Premier Radio Int was heard on 6265 @ 0820 playing the Human League and Dire Straits. 34333 SINPO.

Radio Paardenkracht was on 6325 @ 0845 playing schlager. SINPO 34433, improved later in the morning. Gave out email address of paardenkracht@draait.nl

Radio Valencia was on 6308 @ 1000 with schlager and announcements in English and Dutch. Conditions now beginning to pick-up. SINPO 44433.

Delta Radio (Gelderland) was on 6305 @ 1030 playing dance music. SINPO 44433.

A station I haven't heard for a few months, Radio Atlantis, was on 6300 playing dance music. SINPO 33433.

Radio Boomerang was on 6293 @ 1115 with a short broadcast, playing "Good Vibrations," then ID in Dutch. 43433.

The Bogusman with his reflections on life and alternative music was on 6266 @ 1140 with a 44433 SINPO. Back again in the evening, heard at 2035 on the same frequency playing Suede and talking about art galleries. Good signal - 44444.

Radio Mazda was on 6290 @ 1230 with schlager and polka and giving out the phone number. 43433.

I was out for the rest of the afternoon. When I returned switched on and heard a station on 6303 @ 1900. Unfortunately suffering strong SSB QRM and splash from Reflections Europe on 6295. Probably Dutch (32432).
