Weekend VHF reception

I could hear the bass player from the other side of the stage ... and he could hear me ... so can't be all bad! ;)
 
Crossing from Chi to Bembridge on Sat, heard Swansea CG and on the return trip on Sunday, heard Calais!

Yes lots and lots of French stuff with the high pressure. Funny thing is, reception from stations close by was bad. Ocean Village from within Southampton Water was barely readable on Friday and Solent CG wasn't too good either!
Saturday I checked with another boat on ch 6 using 1 Watt and was loud and clear, so the installation seems ok.
 
On Saturday, in the Thames, just outside the Medway I picked up Portland CG. Often hear Cap Griz Nez & Ostend and occasioanally heard Solent in the past but never Portland before.
