North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: 6924 USB 2325 UTC Broadcast about the death of the Dear Leader
« on: December 20, 2011, 0416 UTC »
Heard the Voice of Korea on 13760 & 15180 here (S5 & S3, respectively). Recorded 29 minutes of them from a Perseus in Japan on 7220.
They were giving a long tribute to their Dear Leader. Music, tribute, more music.
(yeah, not pirate, but same topic).
Wonder who was sending the SSTV images ...

Wonder if related-
Connected to a remote Perseus over in Austria (12/18/2011 around 0100Z). Tuning around 1600-1800 and stumbled across a rather loud Serbia. I don't speak Serb, but he said "Serbia" a few times. This was on 1670 AM. At first, he was talking then would give some sort of ID with "Serbia" in it then the carrier would drop. Someone else in USB would talk. When he'd stop, then the AM guy would talk for a bit. They went back & forth for a while.
About an hour later, the AM guy was on continuously and sounded like he was talking with another guy who was on a two-way FM radio.
No clue if this was the same Radar Serbia Radio or another guy.

Equipment / Re: Sangean ATS-909X
« on: December 19, 2011, 0158 UTC »
I picked one up last February.
It works pretty decent.
Compared to my Sony ICF-2010, on the upper bands (14MHz and higher) it performs comparably with the whip antenna. The 25' wire antenna that comes with it makes little difference.
Below about 14 MHz, it becomes hard of hearing on the whip only and really could use that 25' wire ant. The Sony 2010 sitting next to it works fine on the lower bands with its whip (although, the wire ant helps it too).
MW broadcast works well. Picks up lots of things.
On LW, it seems to pick up MW stations as well... kind of a disappointment.
No problems with FM.
Audio quality is pretty good for such a small speaker.
Went on a trip overseas and wanted to bring a radio. Wanted to bring the 2010, but didn't want it to get broken or seized, so it had to stay home. Instead I took the replaceable 909X.
Worked out very well for the trip. Recorded a bunch of local MW/FM & SW stations.
I'm fairly pleased with it.
Don't know which firmware they're shipping with now, so can't answer that part.

Can just barely hear the carrier and a hint of music.
Checked some remote receivers on the East Coast- VA, NC, and NJ had it S9. One in CT had it about S5.
