WABC Plan To Relay RNI Webcast

Thursday night/Friday morning heard through the noise on the medium wave on 1575khz 190m the close down of Radio Northsea (RSL),could not make out who it was sounded like either Carl Mitchel or Paul Maclaren.

Friday evening around 21:55pm heard again RNI,too much interferance from an Italian station,this subsided around 23:50pm could only just hear RNI.

On Saturday 15th at 22:00hrs heard on 3.395mhz 76metres what was first thought to be a relay of RNI,turned out to be someone broadcasting a tape of RNI from the Mebo II March 8th 1970,quality not bad at all,heard at least 3hours of the station which identified as Laser HotHits.A very interesting station,good programming.

To day Sunday 16th April,not a lot heard except for what appears to be LPR Liverpool Pirate Radio some where between 1420 and 1431khz210/211m,modulation very poor and almost no signal strength even with a 100ft aerial connected to the receiver.Receivers in use are Trio 9R-59DS 550khz-30mhz and also Matsui digital portable,150-281khz LW/520-1620khz MW/1500khz-30.000mhz SW and FM 87.5-108mhz.

Both of these receivers give account of them selves.regards Steve.

(WABC may be on this bank holiday with it's own programs and relays of RNI via the internet.

Cheers,bye for now.
