Title: Radio Gallifrey Intergalactic?
Post by: RadRoadrunner on March 23, 2016, 1504 UTC: Radio Gallifrey Intergalactic. They seem to be a pirate station that broadcasts randomly in North America and I have been trying to pin down when or if they broadcast anymore. Here's what I know so far.
They broadcast on 6955,6935,6925, USB(most often around the set of NA pirate frequencies) usually at or around 000 UTC.
Here is a list of broadcasts to date.
1. 8-31-13, Saturday
2. 9-2-13, Monday
3. 9-22-13, Sunday
4. 10-9-13, Wednesday
5. 11-16-13, Saturday
6. 5-15-14, Thursday
7. 7-8-14, Tuesday
8. 12-29-14, Monday
9. 6-3-15, Saturday
10. 6-13-15, Saturday
11. 6-20-15, Saturday
12. 2-10-16, Wednesday

As you can see, their broadcast dates are sporadic, as they never seem to broadcast on a single day, month, or even season. They also have no website and have only released one QSL(that being a eQSL) in their history can be found here:(http://swling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/twGallifrey-QSL.png)

They have also been known to broadcast SSTV images at the end of their shows, shown
