European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Coast FM 6230 AM 0757 utc 04 Nov 2019

on 6230.0-
0757 ID at once, ads        0842 music, ID       0900 ID, news
etc.. music and frequent IDs, disurbed by strong peskies on 6230 USB
(Why do those peskies transmit on 6230 only when Cooast FM is there ?)
1516 still the same situation

D/E/F/G/It/Sp : Dutch/English/French/German/Italian/Spanish
Balanced wire antennas, wire lines and ATU
Ray, western France.

Would those peskies follow Coast FM if the station changed frequency to another frequency within that band, especially 6305 Khz?

Worth doing, methinks!

I hope the station operator immerses himself/herself in this thread.

Don't get annoyed! It's better to test than one ton from the generator. Someone is seriously preparing for broadcasting. We wish him good luck!


I'm disappointed; not annoyed.

However, I have now adopted a more optimistic view. The station will be called Radio Mama Mia to link it to that song, which will be the first and the last song when the operator broadcasts.

Mama Mia is two words and is Italian Speak for an exclamation of astonishment in a positive way. I recall the expression being used in movies made in America in English.

However, there could be some confusion as to the spelling of Mamma, 3 m's or two m's, so PILOTSPEAK can be used to clarify matters, and to ensure listeners who come upon the station without knowing about this board or PIRATE CHAT will still be able to e-mail the station.

Urban Dictionary: Mamma mia

Mamma mia. "Mamma mia" is an Italian expression, who denoting various kinds of emotions: surprise, fear, rejection, joy.

Urban Dictionary: mamamia
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=mamamia
It's a misspelling of the Italian interjection "mamma mia!", which literally means "oh my mother!". It is used by italians in quite tha same way as English use the expression "oh my God!", except ... Italians do NOT say "mamma mia!" when they're making love with their girlfriend!

Meaning of "Mamma Mia" by ABBA - Song Meanings and Facts

Sep 21, 2017 · Mamma Mia is one of the most popular songs performed by the legendary Swedish pop band ABBA. The lyrics of the song are about the demise of a romantic relationship and the pain of having no other option than to let one’s significant other go despite the …

That said, I'm disappointed in my previous disappointment being misinterpreted as anger.

Radio Voulez Vous?

Another song by ABBA.

Another new station?

However, my French is diabolique, so I dunno the meaning.

Good signal. Not very interesting program 


posted Brian.

I'd even go as far as to say a very boring programme!

Mama Mia is not among Abba's better releases, I'd say.

I hope that 'station' reads this and improves its programmes.

We can live in hope of better programmes to be aired by said station in the future.

That said, Rome wasn't built in a day!

Yep, poor now via the Leiden SDR.

I figure the skip has changed markedly and suddenly.

André is quite right; he's definitely cool. :

I had submitted my RX Report for the transmission YOU have mentioned, and I have already received an informative e-letter.

(I had been listening via an SDR in Eire.)

You can check the Italian site

Thanks for your clarification, André.

Unfortunately I am unable to check the Italian site, which is rather uncool.

That is because the link includes the word 'blog'.

Hi André,

Is schilderjos@gmail.com the e-mail address of Radio Deltracks for the submission of reception reports?

The reason I ask is that I reside in a country subject to Internet restrictions that prevent me, among other things, from accessing Wikipedia,
by which means I would have been able to determine the current contact e-mail address of said radio station as far as is 'known' by this board.

A pity for me because I was extremely impressed by the kind of music they had broadcast, and wanted to praise the station for that,
in addition to receiving confirmation of reception by e-mail.

I just received a failure notice for an email sent to info@deltracks.nl

Yep, the same happened with my e-report the other day. I even tried delltracks, deltrax and delltrax.

Alas, none of them got through!

Not too bad via a UK SDR.

Announcements and music were both readable - either on AM Narrow Mode on 6305, or on AM Mode on 6307.5 or so.

(QRM from the strong ute on the low frequency side of 6305.) 

Steve Most was the dj.
