Mustang Radio 8/16
« on: August 17, 2011, 1248 UTC »
I'm a little late posting this log and I'm going on memory. When I got home yesterday afternoon I flipped the radio onto 6925 and was surprised to hear a very strong AM signal playing music. Thought it was a stateside station but it turns out it was Mustang Radio from Holland! He was S9+10 with excellent audio. Email address of mustangradio@live.nl. Announcements in English. The operator hangs out in Iann's Pirate Chat and will acknowledge reception in real time. The time was about 2225z through at least 2240z I believe. Music from Whitesnake, U2, Dire Straits and others. Reception was on a TS-480 with a 40m dipole. Hopefully we will have more persistent conditions like this as we go into the fall.
# Genetically engineered sentient sausage & undisputed inventor of the end-fed dipole. I also invented the schlumpy dipole.
# KiwiSDR, NetSDR, Airspy HF+, Airspy HF+ Discovery, TS-590, IC-7610, FTDX10, ANAN 7000 DLE MKII

I had the carrier for this, and some weak modulation as it started to fade in. I had to go out and do some yardwork, and the station was off by the time I got back in.

Nice catch, Beerus!
