first had the carrier here at 0346 but could not detect any audio.  then, around 0420 audio started popping in and out of the static and heard the op give, i think, the station ID along with qsl info.  after that, signal started taking a dip again and has sunk below the noise floor now at 0440.  sounds like a lot of zed lepplin being played.  a loud, buzzsaw sound came on freq. around 0441 and wiped everything out.  at 0452 heard op talking & playing "house of the rising sun."  sounds like ac/dc at 0505.  signal took a dive again around 0515. 

attached is a clip of op referring to himself as Captain Underpants (Senor Underbritches)

PLS QSL .......thanks.

Seems to be what I'm hearing right now & since 0544 UTC. Led Zep song, I think from the LZIII album. Seems to be on 6925.17 kHz. Just playing around with the Winradio & thought I'd check to see what pesky conversations or utilities around 43m looked like and there it was. The 1st pirate I've ever tuned in with this radio.
Thanks for the test!

0306 sign on as per the SDR recording.
Kracker's voice heard around 0340. Big peak just before 0350 then the signal crashed.
Came back at 0605 but it sounded like a dead carrier.
Southern Relay Service ID by YL at 0622.
SSTV at 0622 then off.

FYI the timing on the SSTV transmission was really off by a lot.
