Not 100% sure this belongs here, but maybe. It is definately what I would call a Pirate, maybe just not on purpose.
Starting at about 0133 a signal came up on 8265 kHz, drifted up to about 8300 kHz, and then down to 8206.35, in about 2 minutes total. Settled on 8206.35 kHz form then on. It is in NFM.
Playing music, a mix from Rock to Hip Hop. No ID clearly heard but did hear what might have been an XM Sat radio announcement. Remotes in WA state and Denver CO have the signal, as well as me receiving it here in the Mojave Desert of California.
Starting to fade here now at 0240 UTC. Still there just fading out.

03:06 A kid just keyed up on frequency saying what I'm sure he thought were naughty words ("Pee pee vagina", repeated, PPVR QRM?). Sounded close by here in Utah. What service is authorized here?
In the background was music fading in and out for a half hour before.
Edit: http://www.ntia.doc.gov/files/ntia/publications/2003-allochrt.pdf only Air mobile is authorized here, and that isn't what I'm hearing. Maybe a spur from a nearby FRS hand-held.

FRS @462MHz will not cause spurs at @8MHz...
The math & physics just don't work...
"Authorized" ??? ::)
Really???

The music was definitely not from any kind of FRS spur, it was heard in southern California, Washington, Colorado, and wherever you are located. It was quite likely a spur from something, but whatever it was had a good bit more uumph to it than an FRS handheld.
The music was not any kind of “authorized” transmission in this band.
PPVR is an HF pirate who regularly IDs on top of other pirate stations when he knows someone is listening to them. In my recordings he came up on this freq after I posted the announcement here (and more than an hour after the music started), so it is quite obvious he saw it here and responded by transmitting there.

This station appears to be back up. I have posted in the "other" forum because while this might be a pirate it is probably not on purpose ;)
