Tonight - best conditions on 48m for a while. Let's hope it continues....
True, but it depends on who is broadcasting. Quantity is no substitute for quality..
ReplyDeleteWhat's happened to Irish Paul ???
ReplyDeleteVery good question. Does anyone know where Irish Paul is?
ReplyDelete>True, but it depends on who is broadcasting. Quantity is no substitute for quality<
ReplyDeleteDead right. There used to be some very good, professional sounding pirates back in the old days, but not anymore. 99% of the stations on the air these days are just pure
rubbish.
Agreed, anonymous. Only when the 'back in the day' operators temporarily come out of retirement does the quality markedly improve.
ReplyDeleteBogusman is worth listening to with his ramblings about life. Focus is also good because they play a lot of music you don't hear anywhere else - it is just a pity conditions have been so bad recently so they've not been easy to hear.
ReplyDeleteMost of the Dutch stations just come on, play a few records, greet people in the "chat" and go off again - sometimes they don't bother talking and play continuous music, which is very annoying. I like listening to Magic AM and Python who are a bit different to the others.
Laser is still going strong although I would prefer them to play less current music and more oldies. But it is good the station is still going and you'd miss it if it wasn't there!
But I do get a feeling it is in slow decline. Ten years ago you'd tune to 48 metres on a Sunday and the band would be packed, now there's hardly any stations on a Sunday.
XTC are very listenable but the likes of LWR, Subterranean and Armadillo are big shoes which no one in this era gets close to filling.
