Tuned in via Elida OH kiwi SDR, heard OM say testing 1 2 3. I presume this is the same thing Chris copied.
2150 hearing music now, signal is about  S7 in Elida. Lots of static crashes.
2152 OM interrupts song with current date and time.
2157 OM speaking after some silence, low in the audio mix, or perhaps that's just how it's being received.
2158 "Am I live and noone's telling me? That would be embarrassing."
2159 "Papa Romeo Romeo Lima. This is the Pirate Radio Relay League."
2200 start of broadcast
2202 "Roam" B-52's (a few bumps and skips noted on the playback)
2206 XFM ID by Redhat. Timestamp. (Your clock's correct). into "Oh my gosh, caught with my pants down. Always assume a mic is hot. Thanks to the PRRL." Giving some background on the PRRL. XFM ID repeated at 2208. xfmshortwave@gmail.com.
2209 audio suddenly cut out, carrier still present
2211 audio back, glitches, says it's the internet.
2212 "The internet is far less reliable than a piece of wire going where you need it to go."
2213 read my email request. HFU shoutouts, another glitch in the middle of that.
2214 Announcing "Summer of Love" B-52's but the audio glitched out again
2215 back on, "music to the power of x" and into "Summer of Love" B-52's, still trouble with audio dropouts
2223 back on after a lengthy dropout
2226 "Frail" Jars of Clay
2227 dropout... then back up. Redhat thinks he has the issue solved.
2229 Black Keys "Tighten Up" Signal is really good at Elida, S9, some fades though
               gotta make dinner now, so won't be keeping a log of the broadcast
............................................
2357 been listening casually since making dinner. Still a good signal at Elida, ranging from faded to strong. Heard Soundgarden, Tool, Linkin Park and several others.

Thanks for the show Redhat!

0012 "Radio Free Europe" REM (this version is from the original single that was their very first release)
.........
0048 PRRL ID then off

Not real strong but good enough for a clean decode using Rivet build 90. I meant to tune in at 1940 to confirm my reception but forgot. Null message.

SDR recording catch. Carrier present at 250 but no audio until 0300. SIO 111 with a few 222 peaks, but also long stretches of uncopyable audio below the noise floor. These can be noted by the lack of detail offered at those points in my report.
0301 "Do You Do You Dig Destruction" Turbonegro
0304 WEAK ID
0305 signal faded a bit, couldn't shazam or soundhound track
0306 possible ID, new song. Signal below the noise.
0315 finally getting a bit of audio above the noise, but it didn't last long.
0319 WEAK ID heard at noise floor.
0320 "Little Girl" Syndicate of Sound
       Between this and some of the other songs reported by other listeners, it looks like the set consisted largely of tunes from the legendary Nuggets compilation album. Sorry my signal wasn't better.
0323 new song
      No usable audio until...
0335 song at the noise floor, enough to hear bits and pieces. "Twilight Zone" Golden Earring
0337 OFF

Thanks for the show!

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: RNZI 7425 am 0844 utc 4 Aug 2018
« on: August 04, 2018, 0939 UTC »
I've been up this hour because a song I requested is scheduled to be played before 1000 UTC (for those who don't know, 0700-1100 UTC Saturdays is when they play an all request show for Saturday Nights New Zealand time). Got a great signal here in Denver, just a little fading.

I was right - Madagascar TX. Here's an article about its relaunch on HF.

Good signal from this Korean language clandestine, SIO 344. Music with YL announcer.

Clandestine Stations / Eye Radio, 11620 AM, 0430 UTC, 03 AUG 2018
« on: August 03, 2018, 0453 UTC »
This might belong in SWBC, but from my best recollection Eye Radio ("Your Eye on South Sudan") is considered to be a clandestine station. It's been off the air for a while but is back with a vengeance tonight, S9 +10 from an unknown location, but my guesses are Issoudun, SMG (Vatican), or Madagascar (which can give me some booming signals, such as the concurrent BBC relay on 9915.

Positive ID at 0435 and again at 0450. QRT at 0500. It had faded down to S7-S8 levels, reinforcing my impression that it wasn't originating from a North American tx.

Video of reception at 0432z:

Weak signal, let's say SIO 121. OM droning on about the usual things.

Shortwave Broadcast / RNZI in DRM, 9760 kHz, 0501 UTC, 02 AUG 2018
« on: August 02, 2018, 0513 UTC »
RNZI seems to be having issues as they switch from 13840 AM to 11725 AM at 0458. I wasn't tuned into either frequency but instead was listening to NHK World on 9860 when I saw a big DRM signal on 9760 (this being at 0501, first moment I noticed). I thought it might be Radio Romania International since I sometimes see DRM from them in the 31m band, but I got a lock and it was RNZI. it cut off at 0502 so I didn't get much.

I checked 13840, 11725, and 7425 for RNZI but there was no signal at any of those frequencies for a couple of minutes, but it finally did appear (in AM) at 11725 per their usual schedule. The audio dropped out for a few minutes but the carrier remained, and as of 0512 it's broadcasting normally, with a SIO 434 signal.

If RNZI ever decides to expand their DRM coverage to their Pacific beam, it might be the first one that would be worth a damn for North American listeners, at least those of us in the mountain states and west coast.

Propagation / Re: Long delayed echo
« on: August 02, 2018, 0154 UTC »
I had buddy with a penchant for cheap used cars and knockoff Rolex's. One night he couldn't get his '74 Datsun to turn over, the thing was pushing 20 years of hard use. He lifts the hood and is tinkering around. I'm holding the flashlight for him and the guy next door is cranking it every time he shouts for him to. He's tinkering around with the ignition system & before I can warn him, the metal band on that ten buck Rolex comes too close to the metal distributor cap in mid-crank. A thin blue arc shoots up, his head flies into the hood, and the hood falls on top of him knocking him senseless. It was a true Kodak moment.

I saw him a couple of days later, he was still a little wobbly. He still has no memory of what had happened. A little Japanese car DIY shock treatment.

Imagine the views you'd get if that happened in the smart phone / youtube era.

I wasn't really expecting to hear anything, but as of 1312 UTC on 8/1 I have this same VOLMET on the same frequency. I believe I've copied it before, but generally if I hear anything on 6676 it's Australia VOLMET.
