Hi There. Yes, I also caught Radio Parade on 6290 kHz via the "Jurassic Coast" web receiver. Nice signal, but slightly "trebly" modulation. Also Harmony on 5780 kHz with a strong signal, Radio 319 playing tapes of Radio Mi Amigo from the late seventies.... Radio Merlin on 6305 kHz, with a repeat of a Sunday morning broadcast, with Paul Watt announcing a full day's line up of programmes, including a "reggae spot". On the University of Twente set, I got Radio Europe as well, playing Eastern European pop music.

Tonight on Twente, there seem to be lengthy broadcasts from three pirates at the moment: 1616 kHz, there are lots of links but the Dutch is too fast to catch the name of the operator! weak signal on 1634 kHz playing a mix of English and Dutch pop - right now, Paul Simon. More traditional Dutch music on 1645 kHz and announcements that it's Radio Polydor.

Busy night in Greece too - the Athens SDR is registering pirates on 1611 kHz (Trad music), 1620 (trad music), 1629 (female Greek vocalist, dance beat), 1635 (weak signal, male vocalist with guitar), 1640 (piano jazz / lounge music), 1650 (trad music), 1660 (male announcer, weak signal, Greek pop), 1665 (guitar music, male announcer with reverb, possibly saying Radio Diana), 1680 (Greek pop songs), 1690 (apparently Radio Nicos, splatter from a strong 1680), 1718 (Progressive House Music), 1725 (rural accordian type music), 1740 (male vocal singer, male announcer), 1750 (several Greek pirates in QSO with each other, discussing technical specs).
