Coast FM 6285 AM 2204 UTC 27 April 2018
« on: April 27, 2018, 2209 UTC »
2204 UTC Tuned in using USB to a strong carrier and switching to AM had some unid music that QRT'd abruptly at 2205 UTC. Coast FM maybe? Haven't heard them in awhile here....  ???
2254 UTC Back again with good carrier but music a bit low in the noise with "I Say A Little Prayer"-Diana King (Lots of static crashes here this early evening)
(Thanks for the clear ID kris!)
2257 UTC Waterloo"-Abba
2258 UTC YL jingle, then OM with Coast FM ID mentioning Tenerife, then advertisement (Signal up to S7 now and sounding great!)
2300 UTC Another ID with FM frequencies given and "around the world", into YL reading the news
2301 UTC Solid signal and 100% copy on the news!
2302 UTC "20 minutes commercial free, this is Coast FM", into "Red Light Spells Danger"-Billy Ocean

Likely. I noted that they were on earlier this evening but I did not get around to logging them here.

2221 UTC - nothing heard in Italy.
2251 UTC - checked back just now and I hear them with a Michael Jackson song. SINPO 21222 due to QRM from drifty carriers at ~6285.1 and ~6285.4 KHz.
2257 UTC - Abba, "Waterloo".
2258 UTC - ID as "Coast FM" and advert for BritishCornerShop.co.uk. I have the frequency as 6284.97 KHz.
2300 UTC - ID again and news with female announcer.
