Title: Voyage of the Illuminati, KIPM, 6925 USB
Post by: Bowman1 on April 08, 2012, 0451 UTC
Tuned in around 0420 utc to hear Alan Maxwell with a program about a space alien entrapped in a polyhedron.

Gave PO box 69, Elkhorn ne 68022 as only means of contact.

SIO 455

Heard here as well, and via a web tuner, on 6925, between 0400-0500z, good to very good.  The KIPM episode that launched the legend, inspired by "The Galaxy Being".
0500z: Continuing with another KIPM relay.

0558z: The announcer's voice during the segue between episodes sounded familiar.  I'm not gonna venture a guess publicly, but... thanks for the relays and great signal!
0604z: Legend of Tiamat Pt 2, still a great signal with minor fades and QRN
0704z: Overlapping KIPM interval signal and intro to Undercover Radio 20th anniversary program.  Hmm...
0715z: Off or lost signal.

I listened to the studio copies of every KIPM episode last year while I was on a classic radio kick.  Great stuff.  Holds its own well alongside classics like "Lights Out" and "The Creaking Door".  Allan Maxwell was the Arch Oboler of pirate radio... sorta... Maxwell sounds taller.

Checked a Euro web tuner after 0600z - this is being heard well across the pond!  All across N. America as well.  Even my half-deaf kitchen portable can hear you occasionally between fades and the usual household RFI.

Yeah, I was catching this too.  I stumbled in and thought it was part of Undercover Radio's stuff first.  Never trust a tired person. :)

Got the end of the last story, and my favorite, Legend of Tiamat, currently Part 1.  Any idea who is broadcasting this? :)

Nope, uncredited relay so far.  Good signal, though - thanks, whoever you are.

Just turned on the radio.  Nice signal from whoever is relaying KIPM, S9+10 with very little fade or noise.

Thanks!

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 545

Fantastic signal & audio with little to no fade.  3hrs + KIPM marathon - this is the closest I've heard KIPM as a relay sounding like it was coming from Alan Maxwell himslf with this kind of signal quality!

03:50z cam on with KIPM show
07:11z "...I'm Dr. Benway and you're listening to Undercover Radio..." from an earlier UR show
07:12z Off

Audio (complete show): http://archive.org/download/ShortwavePirateRadioCont/UndercoverRadio-KipmRelayMarathon6925Usb0350z-0712z04-08-12.mp3

Thanks for the classic KIPM relays! :)

thnx Asuyuka :)  - Alan Maxwell & Dr. Benway ROCK!!

Hi,

I heard this station at 0632-0711, not understanding what kind of science-fiction it was, mixed with worrying music.
Then at 0706 was an announcement in normal voice, about QSLing, and I heard "900 watts", but it was noisy now.

Heard in West part of France (yes, Europe !) , portable set (Sony ICF7600D) with a dipole antenna 6 m high.

Sorry I could not get more about the ID (?) at the end.

Ray

That's a great catch, Ray. Congratulations!
