Radio Bonovox

The new dutch station Radio Bonovox is on 6306 Khz at 1945 Utc. Reception is quite good with O=3/4, some fading on frequency but a clear channel. Programme is some dutch music. Email-address is radiobonovox(@)hotmail.com.

UNID 6310 Khz

Listened for more than a hour on 6310 Khz from 1200 Utc. Nonstop pop- and dance songs, no ID no announcement. Reception was quite good with O=4. May be it is Radio Malaisy, but where are the IDs gone ?

Westcoast Radio

Westcoast Radio is on air on 6280 Khz at 1200 Utc. Reception is fair with O=3/4, some noise and fading on frequency. Programme is various pop- and rock-songs from the 60th through the 80th.
At 1200 Utc another station was on 6300 Khz, now lost in fading. On 6310 Khz there is nonstop pop-music with a strong signal O=4, may be Radio Malaisy, but still no announcement.

WR International

WR International can be heard at 0935 Utc on 12256 Khz with O=2. Signal is very weak S=3 but free frequency. Signal is fading in and out frequently so no armchair listening. Have stored frequency in the memory bank of my receiver, may be reception will improve.

Zender Paardenkracht

Zender Paardenkracht can be heard with nice Oldies on 6324 Khz at 0915 Utc. Reception is good with O=4. The station played nonstop Oldies from the 60th for more than a hour. At 0915 Utc short ID.
48m band very quiet this morning.

UNIDs

So far only UNIDs this morning. At 0810 Utc heard a station on 6324 Khz with Oldies and at 0835 Utc heard a station on 6270 Khz with 80th pop-music. Both stations fading in and out several times up to O=4. So very unstable conditions and the morning is quiet.

Radio Mazda

Radio Mazda is with dutch music on air on 6305 Khz at 2125 Utc. Reception is good with S=9 and O=4, some fading on frequency. Email-address is radiomazda(@)hotmail.com. At the end of transmission greetings go to listeners who have called the station.
48m band is open with dutch stations on 6268 Khz, 6280 Khz and 6400 Khz at 2120 Utc also. Some stations fade out 10 minutes later.

Radio Marylin

Radio Marilyn is received on 6220 Khz at 1710 Utc with O=3/4. Nonstop pop-music and short announcements, e.g. a street address in Bologna is announced. First I assumed it is Mystery Radio, as it is a huge signal, may be station is relayed via Mystery Radio.
Besides Radio Marylin no station received on 48m Band the whole morning and afternoon. So seems to be long-skip conditions again.

Laser Hot Hits

Laser Hot Hits arrives on 6220 Khz at 1850 Utc with O=3. No signal on the second frequency 6275 Khz. Again 6220 Khz is stronger and the absence of Mystery Radio makes reception possible. Nice 80th pop-songs are played, f.e. Alphaville with Big in Japan.
No other station received on 48m band, on 6302 Khz is again a strong noise carrier.

WNKR

WNKR was fair to good received this evening on 6203 and 6285 Khz both not in parallel. 6203 was a clear channel but some splatter from 6195 Khz and 6285 Khz was getting stronger from 2100 Utc onwards. On 09-07-04 WNKR was strong on 6277 Khz at 2025 Utc. Station can be contacted via wnkr(@)rock.com

Mike Radio

Mike Radio returned on 26-06-04 to the airwaves on 3927 Khz and 6267 Khz in parallel. 3927 was a powerhouse and 6267 had some disturbance. Congratulations to the winning dutch soccer team were received in the studio and the programme was nicely presented.

Radio Spaceman

Spaceman was booming in on 6275 Khz with a steady S=9+20dB and almost no fading at 1535 Utc. Programme consisted of the golden rock classics and it was heard weak in Australia. One hour later signal was S=8 with lots of fading due to the beginning dead zone.
Conditions at afternoon were much better than at morning today.
