Logs, August 26 (evening)

It was not a busy night on the bands, but that was ok, since I could spend more time listening to each station.  Radio Tidalwave had a good signal and a great show with a variety of music, including some nice classic rock.  Over 60 Degree Radio had a very long show, mostly down in the noise here, but there was a decent peak around local sunset.

I finally got a chance to spend a full night listening to free stations.  It was immensely enjoyable.  There were lots of stations on the air and conditions were fairly good.  As well, sunset has moved back a bit.

A big thank you to all the stations for a great night.

It has been quite a while since I have been able to listen to the pirate bands, due to some family issues, but I did manage to do a little listening last night.  As always, it was great to hear some free signals.
