Observations

• One of the strongest stations of the evening was Spakenburg, who was playing some music and English tunes on 1655 and getting a good response with plenty of messages on the telephone. Click here for a short recording
• There was an interesting station on 1629 playing non-stop music from from The Shadows, Hermans Hermits, The Searchers, Mamas and Papas, Tom Jones and much more. No ID was heard but the signal had some good peaks
• Nachtzwerver was a nice catch around 1675 in qso with Digitaal, who you can listen to by clicking here
• Jaknikker was busy on 1512. The signal was fair but there were the usual foreign stations on the frequency. Batavia also tried the channel with a test, but we were unable to hear him
• As I write this at 0100 UTC, Barcelona and Casablanca are still going strong with their music programmes
