Here also since 0031 UTC tune in with strange electronic ambient music at S4. Free form percussion
0052 UTC XLR8 ID, into more ambient music (Signal has been holding very steady here above the noise)
Interesting improvisational music...I can make out the electronic keyboards and the upright bass, but there is something else in there also.
0110 UTC XLR8 ID, then OFF?
Now that was different! Thanks and "accelerate"!

Occasional bits of thump thump dance beat here at 0040-0050 UTC on about 6925.3 KHZ rising above the noise. Have never been able to hear this well in Western MA .
Signal never rising far above noise long enough for copy. Some ute QRM and peskies along the way.
0135 UTC Some CW for a bit, but I can't read morse....

Tuned in to a strapping S9+ signal here also at 2248 UTC with the Foo Fighters, then the comrades chatting at 2250 UTC giving rundown of tunes played. Interesting frequency! I got it at about 6875.8 KHZ with very nice audio
Curiously, I seem to have picked up last nights broadcast where I left off after the band went long!
OFF at 2306 UTC
Thanks for giving me the chance to hear the end of the show I missed last night!

European Pirates and Private Stations / Relay of WMR 6284 KHZ AM 2207 UTC NOV 30, 2014

I'm hearing a man announcer at 2207 UTC now with fair signal
2210 UTC "Wichita Lineman"-Glenn Campbell
2213 UTC Long chat by man announcer
2219 UTC "The Gambler"-Kenny Rogers
2223 UTC Man announcer with mention of WMR? Also heard WYFR and Jeff White's name mentioned. Audio is rather boomy here...hmmm
From Iann's chat room is the info that this is referred to as "The Fake WMR", and is a recording or relay of the WMR online stream. Interesting!
2309 UTC "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted'-Jimmy Ruffin
2312 UTC "Superstition"-Stevie Wonder

1530 UTC Man announcer and lady announcer with ID...WRRI, back to man announcer
1532 UTC Some fiddle and finger picking bluegrass music
1538 UTC Mostly buried in the noise now with occasional  bits of audio rising above...

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: 6870AM? 2345 UTC 8 November 2014

« on: November 30, 2014, 1302 UTC »

I happened to catch this for a few minutes with a fair to good S4/S5 signal while giving the dial a spin through 43 meters. 1153 UTC Asian pop sounding music, 1154 UTC Lady, then man in UNID presumed Asian language, the OFF at 1156 UTC after music and time pips. Interesting as the pips were about 4 minutes off from the top of the hour!

« on: November 30, 2014, 0229 UTC »

Been bouncing back and forth between 2 excellent signals here...both with good tunes...
Love those live time checks X-FM!
Some nice wideband audio here at S9 Mr. Red Hat!
0257 UTC "I Believe"-Joe Satriani (RCCI gets his request!)
Signal dropped down a bit since around 0315 UTC and the peskies are bleeding though, so I switched to USB and a little tuning with the Pass Band and the stereo and things sound just fine!
Admittedly, I'm not well versed on the Alternative rock music since the 90's. I don't get to hear these songs on the local rock stations. One of the local college FMers plays some of the more obscure stuff, but I don't get to listen to much FM anymore. Too busy listening to pirate radio!
0339 UTC "Blue On Black"-Kenny Wayne Shephard" (Great tune!)
That was a change of pace with some Supertramp in there!
0354 UTC "Eye In the Sky"-Alan Parsons Project(You never know where those requests are going to take you....

Usual killer signal here at 0125ish UTC with musical "Testing-1-2-3", repeated, then "Wolverine Radio" ID, into an old old tune
Can't quite get the theme here yet..."I Smell a Rat", a man waking up and smelling coffee, song playing at 0138 UTC repeating "Wake up, Wake up"...hmmm
A man smelling smoke?
"I Can Hear Music"-Ronettes....Maybe the senses?
"I Hear a Symphony"-Supremes
"I Hear You Knocking"
"A Taste of Honey"-Beatles (now we are on the taste part!)
...Now that the stars are in your eyes, I'm beginning to see the light
...Lovely to see you again my friend...Moody Blues
...I Can See Clearly Now...Johnny Nash
...Touch Me-The Doors (called that one as a sure bet in the chat room earlier!
...Touch and Go-The Cars

Gone by the time I got up off the chair and went to the radio. I think the song is named "The Weight" by The Band though!

Soviet Anthem at 0010 UTC with S9+ signal here! 0011 UTC with a hearty Greetings Radio Comrades, mention of the bunker being fortified with a furnace and it smelling like pit beef (Hmmm...maybe make some of those sandwiches that Chris Smol has for an avatar )
0019 UTC "Losing My Religion"-cover version by some sultry voiced lady
0023 UTC "Golden Age?"-Beck (sounds somewhat reminiscent of Wild Horses by the Stones!)
0038 UTC "White Rabbit"-Very interesting modern cover version!
0057 UTC Signal strength just dropped down to S5 here....
0003 UTC The band has gone long here...signal buried in the noise
Well, caught most of it tonight! Thanks DJ Dickweed and Stavin!

Other / Re: 25910 FM KLGE-FM 104.9 in Eldorado TX Studio Link

« on: November 29, 2014, 2255 UTC »

I'm hearing some music here at 2250 UTC C&W tune with deep fades and some distortion.
2252 UTC Different song man singer and accordian S7 at peaks!
2255 UTC News..mention of San Antonio, 2258 UTC AD for Fraternal Insurance?, new again then silence for a bit.
2300 UTC ID for KLGE KLDE 104.9 FM, into another accordian song
(Audio is somewhat distorted here with my 6 khz filter)
I guess this is a feeder station or studio link transmission using FM. There is also one being heard here on 25990 KHZ badly distorted with a buzzing noise. Interesting!
