Happy Easter



A very happy Easter to all readers of the blog, old and new. I hope you are all having a fun weekend with perhaps some pirate radio listening as well.

Following an afternoon of Disney films and Easter eggs, I've popped down to the radio room to see what's happening on the bands. Conditions on SW don't seem too great, although The Bogusman is doing very well on 6285, while Radio Universe from the Netherlands has a fair signal on 6385.

Over at the top of the MW band I'm very pleased to hear some atrocious local interference plaguing me last night has disappeared. It was causing a real problem to my pirate listening, so I'm very happy it's done one for now.

As I write at around 1830 utc, Relmus (1655) and Witte Tornado (1647) are doing best of all, while there is a lower-powered station on 1620 and a few minutes ago there was another on 1611. The band is a bit noisy and there conditions aren't at their peak yet, but that should hopefully improve in the next hour or two. In the meantime, here are the station's I've heard recently:
