2132 UTC just heard some sounds like church bells coming on, no ID yet, just started to transmit. Eventually they kept repeating a Family Radio ID for quite a while then went back into music.
-
Have them here as well, S-5 over a low noise floor. Nice signal.
2141 station id as WFMT Family Radio
-
It's about time for WJFK to do their annual broadcast. I wonder if it's them?
-
Just heard "this is family radio" at 2142
-
I heard this as well on 6.925 it is Family Radio.
-
About 6924.65 AM here. About S-6, but just a bit above the noise floor. 2145 some song w/YL voice mentioning "my family."
-
Since I'm still new to this stuff, just wondering is someone rebroadcasting this or is it coming from the station ID'd in the audio from http://www.wfme.net. I'm not sure if it has to do with pirate radio so just looking for some clarification.
-
I think they ID as WFMT.
-
Just signed off with those church bell like sounds at 2205. I think it was wfme though since the voice kept talking about family in a christian sort of way. Kept hearing it clearly here.
-
Hearing what sounds like those number stations on the frequency now.
-
Quite a number of folks have reported they ID as WFMT, though the first time I heard them I thought it was WFMB. But once it came through quite well here, and it clearly sounded WFMT. I heard woman in the show that just went off say "This is Sonia Norwood" (mother of Brandy Norwood, and they played the same clip several times, I think maybe from a TV interview (she's also Brandy's manager--I Goggle'd it). In the clip, she mentions "My family believes in God, my family believes in hope, my family believes in faith .."

Ok thanks Alex. Heard all that too but just was confused if it was pirate radio or just one of those stations in the websites listed which seem like normal broadcast radio. I have that pirate radio annual so maybe I will find some more info in there or look back on here at older ID's with family radio for more info.
-
No problem, eh? ;)
There's actually a classical music station in Chicago w/call letters WFMT, BTW.
-
Yup noticed that from your call letters in the other comment you left. So much to learn. :)
-
Yeh that's what confused me when I started hearing about this station - but what ever ID'ing the pirate wants, pirate gets! ;-)
Hearing it weakly in Central FL with song male singer, now male ID patter but hard to discern over noise floor; Country ballad style song Jerry Jeff Walker-ish @ 22:50
-
Hey Corq, we allowed to listen to/log this one? ;) :P
-
I get it now Corg. :) Like you said, the pirate is in control not the broadcast station. Took a while for that to click in my head.
-
Worse case scenario around here: you log a seeming pirate station that's actually some kind of WBCQ relay, folks will just crank at ya, and we just bump your posts to the correct subforum. "Family Radio" had me confused for a while, because I rarely hear the "Pirate" "Family Radio" but I'm very close to the Okeechobee towers where the religious station broadcasts all the time, so I'm like why are people logging THAT? Then I heard a recording.
My personal policy is:
LOG ALL TEH PIRATEY THINGS!
