There were some big dark clouds outside this evening and, with a warm temperature, it felt like thunder and lightning could be in the air. The result of this when it comes to listening to AM is lots of static, which is exactly what we've got right now. Mind you, winter will soon be on its way . . . with the longest day coming up this week, the days will soon be getting shorter!! It won't be long until the signals of those Dutch pirates on MW are arriving here early in the afternoon once again, rather than late evening as is the case during the summer.
On to the stations heard here recently, starting off with tonight . . .

Observations
- Good to hear Driland on the air tonight. It's been a good while since I last heard him. The audio seemed better today than it has been in the past, and he was playing a nice mix of English and Dutch music. The night's strongest signal came from Bluebird, who is consistently very good here. It would be great to hear him playing some English tunes one of these days as his signal is every bit of international strength
- Last Monday (June 10) I heard a station on 1659 for several hours. There seemed to be very little talking going on, so I left the computer recording the frequency when I went to bed. The next morning I had a listen back to what I had got, and finally heard an ID. It was a little tricky to catch. It sounded like Philadelphia, but I wasn't 100 per cent sure. So, I sent the recording to Radio Zeewolf - Herman can identify anything, no matter how good or bad the signal. And, sure enough, he told me it was Philadelphia. It seems this station was on air some years ago and has recently returned to the band. The power from his side is thought to be around only 20-30 watts, so this was another nice low-power catch for the collection
