Sat July 7

3900: West Coast Radio playing rock music @ 2205. Some splash from WMR, very strong now on 3910. SINPO 43443.

3910: Weekend Music Radio playing Irish Radio Nova recordings @ 2010, strong signal (s9+10db). Some sort of warbling noise on signal. See Alfa Lima's forum. I hope it is not deliberate jamming of WMR. SINPO 44433. Update - recheck at 2030, the warbling's stopped. Listening now to WMR @ 2245, super signal (S9+20dB) - I'm pleased to report no reception problems. Let's hope the warbling was a one-off!

3925: Bogusman heard @ 2200 with the usual chat and indie music. Good signal. SINPO 44444.

3940: Radio Underground with free radio news and recordings @ 2005. Always enjoyable programmes. SINPO 44333.

(updated 22:30UTC)

Fri July 6

3907: Radio Spaceman @ 2100 greeting Weekend Music Radio and playing "Scotland the Brave." SINPO 43433. In parallel with 3927 - or is it a spur from 3927, or someone else relaying Spaceman there?

(updated 22:45UTC)

Thurs July 5

6300.7: Unid station with relay of Dutch commercial station. Heard @ 1720 playing Gnarls Barkley "Crazy." Obviously with the Sahara clandestine on the same frequency IDing it was not easy. Nasty heterodyne. SINPO 32432.

6305: Radio Boomerang heard @ 2045, playing music by OMD. Unfortunately Brandaris was still on 6306, so bit of a mess. Fortunately Boomerang went off again a few minutes later. SINPO 43433.

6306: Radio Brandaris heard @ 1950 playing instrumental music, some utility and ssb QRM. Saying was switching transmitters. SINPO 33433. Back @ 1955 with second transmitter and much better signal. SINPO 44433.

6380: Laser Hot Hits heard @ 2050 with the Jolly Roger Show. Poor-fair signal with non-stop morse code. Comment left on previous post said LHH was testing 24 hours on this frequency. SINPO 234332. Tuned in again at 2145, signal had improved, now peaking at s9, although morse code still going. SINPO 33433.

(updated 21:50UTC)

Wed July 4

6275: Laser Hot Hits heard @ 1550 with advert for Radio Review magazine and playing dance music. The station said it was hoping to return to 24 hour broadcasting again. Fair signal but within 10 minutes faded out completely. SINPO 34433.

6300: Radio Northpole still persisting with 6300 despite sharing the frequency with the Sahara station. Northpole is the stronger at the moment, heard @ 1730 playing pop music, but there is a whistle on the signal. SINPO 33433.

(updated 17:35UTC)

Tues July 3

3930: West Coast Radio heard @ 2230 playing ELO "It's A Living Thing." Good signal peaking @ s9+10db. SINPO 44333.

6275: The Overcomer Ministry @ 0905 with Brother's Stair's religious rants. Hardly a new station (see posting below) - Brother Stair can be heard all over the shortwaves with much better reception than here. I don't who is putting the relay out. Is it Laser? Or is it one of Laser's relayers like JRRI or Radio Rainbow? I wonder how much Br. Stair pays for these relays? Let's hope this does not mean religion 24/7 on 6275! Poor signal so couldn't really hear much anyway. SINPO 24332.

6300: Radio Northpole heard @ 1910 playing Gorillaz, but reception only possible in usb due to the Sahara clandestine station on the same frequency. It's a pity Northpole didn't check the channel before switching on (I assume the Sahara station can be heard in the Netherlands). SINPO 42332.

(updated 22:30UTC)

Mon July 2

6316: Radio Altrex (tent) heard @ 2000 playing country music and schlager. Weak signal with fair peaks. SINPO 24332.

North American loggings

6925 WMPR. 0053-0118. June 29. Several synthesized IDs and techno mx. ID as "This is WMPR-6925" with OM synthesized voice followed by YL synthesized voice. I think this is the first time I have heard this particular ID. Good.

There was a fair amount of static throughout the bx. P-F.
