Logs and news (January to April)

I might not have posted a great deal on the blog this year but I've been listening plenty over the last few months, and making lots of logs, so an update is long overdue and I'll now bring the logbook right up to date:

Observations

• This time of year is not my favourite when it comes to radio listening. I love the new growth that comes with spring, but I don't like having to wait longer in the day for signals to arrive from across the North Sea! Today, however, the wait was not that long because by teatime several stations were coming in loud and clear, particularly Monday night regular Oldtimer from Friesland. He was busy spinning records on his usual frequency of 1645 kHz and was hitting a superb sinpo of 45444.

1629 1929 Blauwe Koe 45444 (m)

Observations

• I have often heard Irish station Energy AM coming in here during the early hours on 1395 kHz. But they have switched frequency and can now be heard with weekend broadcasts on the Great 208. The good news is that the signal is now far better at this location, and in plenty of other places as well it seems, with very little in the way of interference, providing a very listenable service on the new channel. As you can hear from this Facebook clip, presentation style is super slick, too, and I'm looking forward to regularly listening to 1440 kHz in the weeks ahead

Observations

• Zwarte Boer was testing a new transmitter this evening with the signal getting steadily stronger until hitting a peak sinpo of around 45444.
• Also putting in a similar signal was Studio 19, testing on 1660 kHz and delivering the best reception to my radios so far.

Observations

• After the excitement of some excellent propagation conditions on Monday, it was back down to earth with a bang today as we plummeted to the other end of the scale. Reception of stations was the complete opposite of how it had been 24 hours earlier with many signals arriving here considerably weaker than is the norm and the band very quiet as a result of that dip.
