Got him on the west coast of BC.....SINPO 24443

Sealord:
Recorder catch:

6925 (rx in USB) SIO 232

First show was weak, but still audible for the most part just above the noise with some fading.

23:58z-00:29z 1st WPON

Audio (complete broadcast): http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/Wpon6925Am-usb2358z-0029z06-10_11-12.mp3

Second show came in better (SIO 333) with some fading - dang audicity locked up on me about 15mins into 2nd broadcast, but still got a decent portion of the show.  Missed the third one though :(

00:59z-01:45z 2nd WPON

Audio (00:59z-01:45z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/Wpon6925Usb0059z-0145z06-11-12.mp3

Thanks WPON! :)

ChrisSmolinski:
Checking the SDR recording, the first transmission does indeed look like USB with a carrier. The carrier came up just as WPON went on the air, and went off just after the last ID, and was zero beat with the audio, making me suspect this was a transmitter that did AM with one carrier - I recall the Swan 350 did that, for example.

The second was just USB.

There was a third transmission at 0200z, with an ID heard at 0219z. ID and off at 0236z.

Some music heard again at 0239z, off at 0243z without an ID. May have been WPON again, the signal strength was about the same.

Glad you could confirm a carrier in the first broadcast; I was beginning to second guess my logbook entry.

FWIW, here is a graph of the ops' signal strengths as heard here:



from 10900 to 9000 seconds is the 1st WPON BC
from 7200 to 3700 seconds is the 2nd WPON BC
from 3600 to 1300 seconds is the 3rd WPON BC
from 1200 to 1000 seconds is the "Bob Marley" BC
