Reception Report 2012-04-13

[WireUK]

A long log but you will see multiple enties for stations, many improving as the evening progressed.

Take Calipso, 19:53 he is at O=3 , less than a hour later O=4 and by the end of the evening O=5.
I was probably critical on the SINPO for Calipso, minor fading and slight noise, but definitely much better that my local Oldies station 20kms away

Friday 13th April 2012. All times UTC.

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your reception report en logging of my station.
I did check the frequentcy before going on air on 1653 kHz.
A nearby amateur did the same and told me that it was free.
Normally do I broadcast on 1647 kHz but because of another strong signal on 1646 did I decide to go to 1653 kHz. I did not hear the 1655 station.
On the other hand is it almost impossible to find a free frequentcy nowadays in the weekend.
Hopefully do you hear me again in the near future without the interferences.

Cheers,
Herman.

Dave,

I almost forget;
The pirate station on 1512 was The Arabier, not the Zwarte Arabier.
The Arabier is located in the north east of the Netherlands (near my location) and The Zwarte Arabier in the middle of NL.

Cheers,
Herman.

[Zwarte Arabier]

Yes Zeewolf,

It was not Zwarte Arabier but Radio Arabier:)
I'm not so much on air Wire! i'm busy with my work:( long days working from monday to friday, and sleep in the weekend:P

Hoi herman 1655 had ik nog ff gedraaid was zo rond die tyd weet niet precies meer heb ongeveer 15 min gedraaid had visite die wou spul ff zien haha en dan moet die ff aan hé haha je kent dat wel op dat moment zat daar niemand excuus hoor. voor my geld zelfde op de 1647 zit ik ook ongeveer normaal gr johan

[Zeewolf]

Volgens mij was jij het niet Johan want ik heb een uur gedraaid en ook om middernacht had ik nog last van het andere station.
Maakt mij verder ook niet uit, in het weekend weet je dat zoiets kan gebeuren.
Het is maar de vraag of het andere station mij wel kon horen want veel vermogen heb ik ook niet.
Feitelijk draai je toch voor de "buurt" en is het alleen maar mooi als het signaal nog op afstand wordt gehoord maar het is voor mij al lang geen doel op zich meer.
Om afstanden te maken ga ik liever naar de kortegolf.

Groet,
Herman

Thanks for the update on 'The Arabier'.

I have the station recorded but have not listened to the recording, which I must do now. I will change the log here in the shack too and I was very pleased to hear the station on that frequency.
