on 3940.0    with bit of drifting
1952 extra weak, music, noisy, stormy, QRM from French freebanders on 3405 LSB
1911 no freebanders now, not so hard to hear, unknown tunes
2019 modern jazz with W singer, 2022 next

2250 modern jazz / jazzy sound, 2253 more smooth jazzy tunes
2340 suddenly switching to a relay a remembrance programme about
Radio Caroline North, possibly originating from Sunshine Radio in Dublin.
Unhappily, the signal faded down, with much noise, and the audio is now less than so-so..., 2351 song "Caroline",
then more memories about the original Radio Caroline stations (North, also South) in the 60's.
The sound from the studio is fair, the sound from recordings back in the 60s is bad.
0011 "Semi-detached suburban" (inside old recording), then DJ,
0014 "Reach out I'll be there" (still old recording)
0017 now remembering R. Nordsee International, a bad recording with "Man of action" in background, and beginning of jamming? (that happened in 1970), no no maybe it was a utility on 3400 ?
0025 signal on 3400 fading down, 0028 back to Caroline North, and fading up,
more comments about radio in GB in those years, 0032 going on
(Have to quit, falling of my chair now)

At 05:50 on Wednesday 10th June :
trace, trace of audio, but fading down, (at 0610 only F freebanders on 3400LSB)
