Post by: CrackedLCD on September 16, 2019, 0125 UTC
Appears to be a pirate, playing R&B/oldies.  S3 signal in Lower Alabama.

~0123 - Wishing On A Star — Rose Royce
0126 - You Can't Hurry Love — Diana Ross & The Supremes
0130 - Just Don't Want To Be Lonely — The Main Ingredient
0133 - unclear ID, but sounded like Mix Radio International?
0133 - Machine Gun — Commodores
0135 - Soul Man — Sam & Dave
0138 - (yl) Mix Radio International ID
0138 - Let's Put It All Together — The Stylistics
0141 - We Need Love to Live — Maze
…
0147 - Just What I Needed — The Cars
0149 - Burning Down The House — Talking Heads
0153 - I Don't Like Mondays — The Boomtown Rats
0157 - A Question Of Time — Depeche Mode (which SoundHound ID'd through incredible static, amazingly)
0200 - Mix Radio Intl ID
0201 - White Wedding — Billy Idol
0205 - Alive And Kicking — Simple Minds
0209 - (yl) ID
0211 - Money — The Flying Lizards (signal is way down now, I'm having trouble ID'ing some songs)
0214 - Eyes Of A Stranger — The Payola$
0218 - SoundHound has given up, but this sounds like Dead Man's Party by Oingo Boingo
0223 - ID
0223 - Who's That Girl? — Eurythmics
** lost signal in Alabama, switched to SDR in NC where the signal is S9 and with good 7 kHz wide audio **
0227 - Absolute Beginners — David Bowie

0250 - Dance Away — Roxy Music
0253 - "Free independent radio" ID
0253 - Doctor! Doctor! — Thompson Twins
0257 - Mony Mony — Billy Idol (starting to lose the signal on the NC SDR now, too)
0302 - Everything Counts — Depeche Mode
0305 - Rock The Casbah — The Clash
0309 - Lover's Walk — Elvis Costello

Playing some great music, thanks! 

Edit:  Gotta give up now that it's past 10 pm, the signal has really degraded on the NC SDR, to about the same level it is here in Alabama.  Hate to leave it, the music is fantastic.  Thanks again for the great tunes; this might be the longest I've stuck with any pirate show.

I can hear the music, but an interfering noise centered right around 4959-4960 kHz is making Mix uncopiable here.

0144 End of a song, ID, the Cars into other similar music and ID's

S 5 - 6 with very good audio here.

Peaking S9 and SINPO 45334 at 0150z via the 148' loop-on-ground and preamp.

Some fades and static crashes, but those are common tropical band issues for my location and current season anyway. Otherwise, clean modulation and a good listenable copy.

Thanks for the broadcast!

on 4960 USB   direct
0155 bit of signal once in every few minutes, tough job!
0209 fading up to extra weak, at least without long fades, 0212
0220 still very hard to bust the music under the noise
0230 down into the noise, 0235 giving up

Tuned in late, but heard "Mony, Mony" as it seemed to be fading away
