RE: 6925 USB / With one OP sliding into their programming,  complimenting the previous program and their OP, for example: from Renegade Radio nito Twangy Radio it was seemless and organized to say the least.

A big "thanks" to all those ops last night for keeping us entertained.  What a great turnout!

Nothing noted however on 1710 last night except the usual occupants, just in case anyone is keeping track :-)

Yes thanks to all ops. Though I missed XFM for some reason. But anyhow, I had one ear tied to the Pirate Radio MW Clear Channel 1710, and nothing heard but the usual suspects.

It was one of the best Halloween broadcast nights I can remember for some time, (even the 80's had numbers, but not like this!

It's great to have this kind of variety to choose from, though it does make it hard to keep a decent log!  :D
Wish it was this active on a more regular basis (propagation permitting of course).

Thanks to all the stations who run the risk & foot the expense to keep us entertained!!

I wish I had been able to join in the festivities, but I was in hospital  :'( and unable to broadcast. However, plans are afoot to broadcast this evening sometime around 2100 UTC.

Does anybody have any SDR or other audio recordings for me to listen to from the night in question?
