Post by: RCCI on December 31, 2012, 0037 UTC: Signal here about an S4. Hearing music at 00:32 The hets here are awful.
00:35 Hear male voice Sounded like he gave the 6925 Freq. Talking about the "only surviving show" mentioned presidential....
00:38 ID Radio First Termer
00:40 Music
00:42 Male talking about downloading the program. I'm hearing this on AM not USB
00:47 Sounds like an interview, Can't make out the words well.
00:55 Abrupt sign-off

BTW The website www.radiofirsttermer.com seems legit. There is a pic. of C. David DeLay AKA Dave Rabbit, and someone in the upper left corner in a uniform., with the label Saigon 1970-1971. Seems that Dave Rabbit died January 2012 and was the producer of the program. Pirate broadcasting in Saigon. Weird...At the website were 6 Segments of Radio First Termer MP3's IRAQ. Ad for POW etc. Lots of pics in side bars.

I downloaded segment #6 (just under 21 megabytes) and the program is a studio version. Pretty much the type of programming we heard tonight. Very cool...

Also...thanks for the info Andrew... did not know the background.

Thanks for the show RFT!

Post by: SingleSideburn on December 31, 2012, 0040 UTC: S6 at 00:39 here, some kind of satirical "support the troops in Iraq" announcements with phony names dropped, followed by electronic track.

following Raido Ronin- 6925 AM carrier off and on a few times.
00:25 utc -S5 - S6 can hear music but can not ID
Tantalizingly close to copy on few peaks close to S7.
00:44 utc sirens? still mostly S5-S6 with med - fast fades in and out.
00:45 - 00:49 utc OP talking - male & female? - still can't make it out.

Remained UNID for me to sign off at ~1:00 utc

Post by: Andrew Yoder on December 31, 2012, 0121 UTC: It was very strong here. BTW, the Vietnam-era Radio First Termer tape has been circulating through the SW pirate scene for at least 30 years. I've heard it relayed a number of times over the past 20 years. Two of the recent stations to have relayed it were Outhouse Radio and WEAK. Definitely an interesting station.

<Later> I had company and just checked out the recording that I made. This was not a relay of Radio First Termer....it was a several-minute-long promo for Radio First Termer Iraq (a later project of his) + techno music + a segment on particle physics (from an English station?) + a CBC webcast segment + the ending of a webcast from Radio Lingua...and then maniacal laughter (as mentioned by ETM71).

I haven't heard any stations that just used a mish-mash of segments from webcasting stations. Huge signal with very little interference.
Thanks for the show!
Andrew

It's a tragedy we only have a copy of one of Dave Rabbit's shows; he did at least a month of shows in 1971, running his signal through the Armed Forces Vietnam Radio Network after they shut down for the night (but left the transmitters running.) Soviet teenagers used to do similar tricks on the internal Soviet shortwave network in the 1970s; playing pirated rock music and jazz for a few hours after midnight. Very few were caught.
