North American Shortwave Pirate / Apres TCS 6925USB 0330 - 0406 UTC

« on: June 18, 2012, 2118 UTC »

A number of songs/transmissions heard last night after the TCS signoff.  I cannot say definitively what belongs to whom (and I don't want to guess), so this is a compressed recording of what was heard here between 0329 and 0406 UTC.  I have edited dead air down to approx 3 seconds silence, and have put it together as a single MP3.

18 June 2012
6925USB

0329 TCS off
0330 10YA - "I'd Love To Change the World" with 3 buzzes before and after.
0336 "Good Vibrations" parody
0343 "The Choice Is Yours"
0347 unid artist - "In the Presence of the Lord"
0355 Unid song
0359 The Specials - "A Message to You, Rudy"
0402 Eccentric Shortwave ID --  Thank You Eccentric Radio!
0403 Pesc QRM - this would be right where BOR was heard by Sealord; sorry Johnny!
0406 Op with a short comment

The Signal Strength History was not of any great help in determining what exactly was going on, and FWIW, this is what it looked like:



The TCS broadcast went off at about 2280 seconds in this plot, and subsequent broadcasts are to the left.

This was a recorder capture.  I was tuned to 6930.080, and I think I'm a little off here.

0454 Possible very very weak audio started here, but I'm not sure; possibly pesc.
0504 Song, prob C&W, OM vocal, lyrics "...well I can show you",  "...you don't want to party..."?
0507 Song, rock or dance w/ big drum beat, OM vocal
0509 SSTV sent which I could not capture
0510 off?

Thanks op!
Thanks Sealord for the heads up!

15 June 2012

I'm seeing what appears to be a weak LINK-11 in the range of 6940 to 6943kHz, about S4.
Just went off at 2027z.
Anybody else catch this?

After Radio Ronin c/d, it sounded like 3 SSTV images were sent in AM in fairly quick succession until around 0209z.  All were very weak here, and none would decode.  Anyone get these?

0112 Carrier on and into unid song
0116 OM tx, ID and addy?  "...radio at..."
0117 OM balladish vocal
0122 Police - "Roxanne"
0129 OM tx  - poss ID; the op's voice seems new and unfamiliar
0131 YL vocal - pop song, familiar, but I can't ID it
0134 Promo? - with child's voice
0137 more OM tx; hard to hear still; "...radio towers(?)...", "...right now, he he...", "...hello to everybody out there..."
0149 "Never On a Sunday"
0153 off

Hugging the noise and still weak, but has been coming up since program start.
Some deep fades and occasional pesc QRM aren't helping.  Really need to review the audio here.

I listened to all the possible ID points, and there really is nothing definitive there.  I can make out a few words and phrases from time to time, but nothing which IDs this.  Op seemed laid back and friendly.

Thanks!  We tried...

0121 Seemed to come on with a block of 3 or 4 R&B tracks; familiar, but I can't title them
0139 OM talk, poss ID but didn't get it, poss addy
0141 More unid music
0144 Poss "JJ Flash"
0215 Still there, but barely; just hearing an occasional bass line

Was fair towards beginning, but signal has been tailing off since coming on; close to noise floor by 0148z

Thanks.  (and thanks for the ID, refmo!)
