[Phil G4SPZ]

I listened tonight from 22.30 on 648kHz, confirmed using a digital frequency counter and a signal generator, and heard back-to-back pop music including "Handbags and Gladrags" at 22.35, "House of the Rising Sun" at 22.43, "Barbara Ann" at 22.55 and "Flowers in the Rain" at 22.58. Reception was fairly steady, with some rapid fluttery fading together with slow fading over a 2-3 minute period. I guess a SINPO report would be 3-5-4-4-4. I tried several receivers, including my shack Trio 9R59DS, but my best reception was on a Grundig C6500 Automatic portable radio/cassette.

There was an announcement at 23.01 mentioning Radio Caroline and requesting listener reports to a PO Box in Essex. Unfortunately it faded down and I didn't catch the details. The time's now 23.10 and they're playing "Up Tight Outta Sight" and the receiver's S-meter is indicating a steady S3.

To be honest I'm not that keen on their choice of music!
