Killer strong signal into north Canada tonight. I don't recognize many of the songs but there's been several clear OM voice I.D.'s. Wolverine has the only SSB signal that ever sounds any good playing music.

He used to post every once in a while on the FRN, and (surprise surprise) even got into a flame war or two there.

A flame war on FRN? No way! Who would have thought it...

Got them in north Canada as well. Always a great sounding signal for SSB.
--CCR song, "Grren River" I think?
-- Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar"

Hearing them in North Canada. Was going to post this as a new topic until I saw that you just beat me to it. About S-1 in S-1 noise. Can hear music fairly clearly but I haven't listened long enough yet to I.D. anything.

Heard them, too...but I don't want to reveal my general wearabouts. North America...ha ha.

Unfortunately, thanks to the Bunneh/Furreh Radio Network lunatic bunch my whereabouts, identity, and other personal info are known by pretty much everyone. If I knew then what I know now I'd be more carefull as well. But I never thought I'd have to be protected from other ops, ya know?

I had it clear as a bell here in north Canada but not strong. I initially thought it was a pirate coming on freq, definitely when there was a YL singing(!) but after listening for a while I concluded it was the classic fishermen.

One SW rig to look for is the Kenwood R1000. I had one and loved it. Stupidly sold it. They are highly regarded and in fact have a near cult following. There are a few mods to improve it a bit more. I currently run a JRC NRD 525. Also a fantastic rig but a little more pricey then the Kenwood.

I can hear them in north Canada as well. Not terribly strong but there none the less.

Just turned on rig so no ID yet but I'm hearing OM voice and music on 6930. Weak, about S-1 with QSB over S-0 noise but pretty good copy.

Welcome aboard, Erik.

For what it's worth, rivalries between special interest websites are fairly common, although the FRN is among the more extreme examples.  You'll see rivalries among the highly competitive humor and social networking oriented sites as well, if you dig into the histories of reddit, Digg, StumbleUpon, Something Awful, YTMND, etc.  Each community develops its own shibboleths and arcane practices to separate the true believers from the unhip n00bs and outsiders.  There have been particularly intense rivalries between a couple of anonymous image boards.  The rivalry was so intense that certain keywords were considered bannable offenses.  Woe unto anyone who dared to quote a phrase or meme associated with the "enemy" site.

I've been active on a particular photography website since the 1990s and a moderator there for the past 10 years.  Like any hobbyist or artistic website it too has its share of drama and rivalries.  That's just the nature of creative folks who are passionate about their artistic pursuits.  Within reasonable boundaries a competitive spirit and insider jargon can help form bonds that stabilize a community.  Many of us participate on other photography websites and neither the members nor the administrators consider it a breach of loyalty, let alone treason.  In fact crossover participation is usually mutually beneficial, and shared membership can help disseminate news and helpful techniques more efficiently.
 

That, and the fact that Furreys made me realize that I'm not as messed up as I once thought I was.

I was hot for Belinda Carlisle until Suzanne Hoffs and the Bangles had me walkin' like an Egyptian. BTW Suzanne STILL looks good.

Lots of signal into north Canada. Music sounds great, lots of high energy dance tunes. ID's by OM but VERY bassy/muffled sound makes difficult copy. 
224  Loggings / Shortwave Pirate / Re: Wolverine Radio 6950 USB - time theme on: January 01, 2012, 0309 UTC
Nice signal as usual into north Canada. Eric and the Animals "Spill the wine".
225  Loggings / Shortwave Pirate / Re: WPOD 6925u, 6935u on: December 31, 2011, 0144 UTC
Got them nice and clear on 6935U in north Canada. S-3 with QSB but good copy overall.
