Some recent logs from rainy England

The rain keeps on falling - if only the propagation conditions were winter-like as well!

We have been busy compiling the latest MW Pirate Review over the last few days, but the radio has still been switched on, and here are the stations from the Netherlands we have heard . . .

Observations from July 2

• Calipso was king of the band this evening with a very nice signal and some fine music on 1629. While he was on air, Radio Morningstar was doing a live video bandscan so it was possible to listen to Calipso being received in the Netherlands as well. Have a look here
• Anton was also coming in well here during his programme before qsoing with Jack Sparrow and Barcelona
• There was an interesting broadcast on 1641. Radio Melkbus was experimenting with just 1 watt of power. Although no audio could be hear at this side, the carrier was audible
