Loggings > North American Shortwave Pirate

Someone starting on 6.940AM

(1/3) > >>

Jolly Roger:
Strange signal. Sounds like a siren, with morse code over top of it. LOUD S-7 signal in northern Canada. I'll update as I can.
***UPDATE!!!***  There's a weaker station UNDER it! Use SSB and tune up or down slowly but listen carefully, it's there. Could this be a jammer?
***UPDATE #2*** The jammer is right on 6.940, if you tune AM 6.942 or 6.938 you can hear the slightly wider signal being jammed. Occasional music and male announcer. Of course as soon as one hears the word jammer one could suspect the Bunneh bunch, but it can't possible be them, you can actually hear THIS transmitter. 

Andrew Yoder:
Yeah, I heard & recorded this, too. The jammer sounded like 6 or 7 electronic tones, ascending up in pitch like a staircase. I've never heard SWBC on 6940 kHz & wouldn't've guessed that a jammer would so quickly find & jam a station in the middle of nowhere frequency-wise. Anyone else know what this might've been? ???
Thanks!

Sealord:
Andrew, can you post a recording of it - it sounds like it could of been an X06 transmission possibly.

Andrew Yoder:
Hey Sealord,

Thanks for the tip. I searched YouTube & it sounds just like this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYJ6PylrgL8&feature=related

I just assumed it was a jammer.  :P

Funny thing is that I'm listening to the recording now & some pirate was goofing around over top of it, vocally doing the Close Encounters theme, singing song bits, etc. It was in SSB and I was recording in AM, so I haven't been able to/decode ID any announcements from the pirate.

I'll e-mail a recording of it to you if you'd like.

Thanks & have a great day!
Andrew

ChrisSmolinski:
Very interesting catch, Andrew.

Several folks on IRC (#wunclub and #pirateradio) were also hearing it.
