Title: WPOD 6935 USB, 6925 USB
Post by: Zoidberg on October 16, 2011, 0227 UTC
10/16/11, 6935 USB, 0220z: WPOD with Tubes "White Punks on Dope", WPOD IDs.  "Pusherman", Curtis Mayfield song from "Superfly".
0235z: Classic movie trailer for blaxploitation film with Pam Grier, can't quite tell whether it's Cleopatra Jones, Bucktown or another.
0240z: Isaac Hayes theme from "Shaft"
0250z: WPOD female computer voice ID

SINPO=31342, good signal, extremely harsh local RFI/QRM, only moderate noise and fades.

WPOD 6935 USB 0220z 30 minutes mp3

Odd jangly artifacts are due to heavy noise reduction needed to make audio tolerable.  Signal was fair to good but local RFI was extremely harsh tonight.

0300z: Sounds like reprise of WPOD blaxploitation theme show on 6925 USB.  "Black attack pack" line from "Bucktown" movie trailer, other bits.
0326z: "White Punks on Dope" song, sounds like Tubes

Different conditions on 6925, or maybe it's the time - less QRM from local RFI, not quite as strong and more fades, but still able to copy most.

Local RFI not quite as bad as earlier, but noise reduction still used on this mp3.

I presume that's what I'm hearing right now on 6925 USB here in Seattle. They ID'ed a minute or so ago but I was unable to copy it. Lowe HF-150 with a fairly crummy random wire antenna (hope to get something better up soon).

It's turning into a great night for hearing pirates here; already have heard three, and I'm listening from home in the city, not from any RF quiet location out of town.
