"Great to hear your radio staion on your
very first day of broadcasting. I first noted
SWR on the 1st July 2000 20.30 hrs UTC, on
shortwave frequency of 11720 kHz.. Quite a
lot of QRM from 11715 kHz -blank carrier,
with a very strong signal...Details: Caroline.
I spy for the dti (brings back memories of
listening to Laser 558!)..."

delighted to finally get some decent
reception of Scandinavian Weekend Radio today
and last night. I have been trying for the
past few years to hear them but with all the
big boys using their 500,000 watt tranmitters
i didn't hold out much hope for your poor old
50 watt transmitter. I was so pleased to read
on the short wave pirate e-mail group taht
you had turned the direction of the antenna
to face the United Kingdom. Then I was
listening to an English voice on 11720 kHz an
concluded it must have been the BBC World
Service but they had over sun the programme
shot. At that moment an announcement was made
that you are listening to Scandinavian
Weekend Radio. The look on my face was truly
amazing..."
