North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio New Vegas 6955 USB 0407 UTC 10 OCT 2020

« on: October 10, 2020, 0425 UTC »

Hosted by Mr. New Vegas. Fifties big band and Sixties easy listening interspersed with news reports. Sponsored by "Gomorrah." Mentions of the NCR and the Mohave wasteland. This seems to be a different broadcast than the paranormal stories that were airing on this freq earlier tonight. Sounds like an in-universe thing I'm not familiar with...

S9 and very clear, 2kHz wide signal into Washington, D.C. Great audio.

Some music, then a "Radio New Vegas" ID at 0408.

Blue Moon, sounds like Dean Martin or Frank Sinatra, until 0412.

0422: Heartaches by the Number

0422: Bingo Bango Bongo, Danny Kaye

0427: Radio New Vegas ID, into the "news"

0433: Mad About The Boy

0438: Talking about nuclear and H-bomb fallout

0441: Commercials for Pullowski Preservation Shelters, Visit Washington, D.C., Whiz Bang Anti Bully Devices, and go Metro

0505: SSTV x4

0510: Off the air

Thanks for the show!

Still going at 0233 with an account of a USAF B-52 encounter with aliens in Vietnam. References to Jay Allen Hynek, who was a recurring guest on the old Art Bell program. Same computer-generated(?) British accent voice that was identified as Pee Wee radio in an earlier thread. I think this is a continuation of the same broadcast described at https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,72695.0.html.

Off at 0235. Mentioned "future episodes"....

Back on at 0244 with paranormal stories from Afghanistan. US Special Forces reporting Afghan and Russian ghosts, visible to the naked eye and optics but not with thermal imaging and night vision goggles; attacked by a giant creature outside Kandahar.

The legend of the Lost Dutchman's Gold Mine from 0307-0327.

Disappearances in Victoria, Australia national parks from 0330-0347.

Viking I photos of the Face on Mars, and Mars Rover images appear to show human activity on Mars from 0350-0404.

Thanks for the show!

S9+ in Washington D.C. suburbs. Occasional interference from a neighboring 8khz wide UTE.
