Radio Piepzender (presumed) 5990 AM 1638 UTC 21 AUG 2025
« on: August 22, 2025, 0129 UTC »
Had a pretty constant signal with a 9 SNR into Woofferton UK SDR

Playing mid 90's to early 2000s rave music; Dune, 2 Brothers on the 4th floor, Scooter etc.
Exactly what I like!  8) Its like the guy look my rave playlist and played it on air! ;D

Did a bit of digging for info, the SDR labeled it as "Studio Denakker" a search gave me this post https://hugosdxhoekje.wordpress.com/qsl-from-dutch-medium-wave-low-power-station-studio-denakker/
and there might be something on FMScan since google indexed a lookup for Studio Denakker, just registered for that so I can't see that ATM when I can, I'll edit this.

It was just constant songs one after another and sadly no ID, saying that Studio Denakker was Netherlands baised so did a bit of SDR hopping on 5990 most UK SDRs could not hear it so I was lucky to receive it, tried others in the Netherlands and Germany and managed to barely pick it up, so its probaly in the EU for sure, NVIS probaly sucked and spotty areas with propergation.

I'll definatly be looking out for this pirate in future :)

Probably nothing to do with Studio Denakker (don't trust the labels on the SDR's)

Listen to that UNID recordings (11' at 1757, 8' at 1904) :

Also ukdxer logged Radio Piepzender at 1810 UTC, without any detail. He is probably right, as Radio Piepzender has a licence on 5990 in the Netherlands, but as that station uses it scarcely, there's still a way for an unlicenced station on that frequency. Note that R.Piepzender is often relaying other stations, but that's unlikely without ID.
