Sternradio 6930 AM 0103 UTC 7 AUG 2026
« on: August 07, 2026, 0103 UTC »
0103: music of sorts (sounds sort of like Beavis and Butthead)
55555, huge wide signal, looks like Sternradio
0104: "milk of the madonna" - Deftones:
0224: ID by OM in EE, "Berlin 5 a.M." - Dance or Die


Thanks for a great show! That's a terrific signal having come all the way from East Antarctica.

Well, it's come to this: It's midnight and I'm listening to a heavy metal cover version of "The Wheels On The Bus Go Round and Round" on pirate short wave radio on Sternradio. Is life great, or what!?

Hahah is your sig related to the time I played that as a request?
Bitte warten, Sternradio hat technische Schwierigkeiten. Der Sender raucht. Rauchen wird dich töten.

I actually don't remember that, but at my age, anything is a possibility. It sounds like one or the other of B. or B. singing about cornholio.
Oh - I just noticed what you're talking about. Yes, the signature definitely refers to one of the times you played a request by me ("Wheels on the Bus"). I distinctly remember that and some other times you played requests.

0207 on Empire MI sdr2 with fair/good S9-S9+10 signal, heavy metal and death metal rock, of suddenly at 0305.

I have been using online receivers because my 7mhz dipole came down in a storm and after my stroke on 3 June 2024 I can no longer get up on a ladder to fix it. Also too much neighborhood noise.

0225 S9 tonight, while quite good, it is a bit weaker than the usual booming signal. The band may be running long at this point.
Unless noted otherwise, all reports are direct from my location on Long Island NY.

Very good signal in western New York, SINPO 54434, just a touch of fading

0220z  "Journey to the End" by Windir (per Shazam)
0224z  "From the icy shores of East Antarctica this is *&#%)&%", followed by some electronic music that Shazam doesn't recognize. Maybe the resonant sound of Antarctic ice crystals?

Drake R8B, 700 ft long wire aimed west
