Just tuned in at 1310. VG S8 sig with some fading. "Bye Bye Baby Bye Bye," sign off announcement, then QRT.
Thanks for the show, RRS!

PS: A guy came on after the show, asking if the frequency is clear and calling "CQ 41." It's clear here & his signal was copyable

North American Shortwave Pirate / Unid: 6925U, 7/20, 0300 UTC

Weak signal in high static crashes. Pretty similar in quality to my receptions of The Machine & Stone Circles Radio over the past two days. I have my doubts that I'll be able to pull an ID out of it, although I can tell that it's music and not talk.

Just tuned in at 0121. Something is there, but just had yet another big t-storm go through (can still hear the thunder) and the noise is massive
Thanks for the show!

Severe t-storm noise here, but I recorded traces of music during this timeframe. I assume it was The Machine. Also, earlier in the evening I received very poor copy on an SSTV that looks the one from The Machine. For comparison, mine was a little worse in quality than Joe's.

Thanks for the broadcast!

Also heard here & I'm listening to my recording of it. I tuned in around 0142. I think I heard a Bob Dylan song and either a blues or early rock'n'roll song. Last song was an instrumental and featured train sounds or bagpipes? Hard to tell with weak signal in USB below the noise level. The song before sounded like a slow anthemic ballad.

Have a recording if the op is interested. Thanks for the show!

Weak signal here with fading & ethereal music. No ID heard, but ID per the station op.
Thanks for the show!

Too bad I didn't have the recorder running on 7/14, but thanks for the audio, Sealord. I didn't have much luck with the songs, but one was "Government Love Affair" by The Screamers.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Lincolnshire Poacher Pirate: 6925U, 7/16, *0132-0143*

« on: July 16, 2012, 0259 UTC »

Fair/good sig, but a lot of t-storm crashes. On with about 3 min or so of the "Lincolnshire" numbers station IS, then a real male announcer trying to sound like a computer voice. Announcement seemed to be primarily to correct logs about the station that was reported as this one at 0630 UTC on 6930 kHz AM last night--that was not this station. Instead, the announcer mentioned that 4 logs of this were of his station. Not sure if I caught all of the dates correctly, but I think they were 7/7, 7/9, 7/12, & 7/14. He also mentioned those who logged him: "Far-ley, Sea-Lord, Yo-der, Smo-lin-ski," etc. Then, a few minutes of the "Lincolnshire" numbers station IS. I heard part of a rock song after this, but I'm not sure if it was the same station & it faded out.

Thanks for the show & please QSL, if you do that sort of thing.

Saw the log, ran to the radio room from the Cards/Reds game, & only caught the computer voice "hello radio" repeating, then off. Afterward, station tuning up with carrier, but I guess this is a different station. Have brief recording of Bunker R, if op is interested.
Thanks!

Thought I had finally heard Blue Ocean Radio, but it's RTN. Sounded kinda like instrumental music from '80s movie soundtracks. Heard an announcement, but hard to copy. Lots of jamming from someone who sounded like PPVR.

Thanks for the show!

BTW, I checked my recording and the sig was really pretty good here. Unfortunately, I had the receiver in USB and I was mistuned by about 200 Hz or so. In all, the recording was unusable, but I could tell that the signal was at least fair here. Too bad I didn't do a little better job with the radio! :O)

Pretty weak here with lots of t-storm noise, but I have decent audio making it here.
Thanks for the show, RTN!

Presumably the same here, too. Tuned in about 0139. Pretty weak, but I recorded it. Just checked in here to see if anyone was reported in this time frame. I need to listen closely to the recording tomorrow.
Thanks for the broadcast!

My couple of brief recordings of KPRC that I made were just on a little boombox with the internal loop antenna. They had a nice signal in the Northeast

1224: sending SSTV pics, but the sync is way off from my MMSSTV program & everything is really clipped. I think the first pic was the Northwoods logo & I have no idea about the 2nd or 3rd pics, just bands of color here.
