Title: Lupo Radio South American Pirate 6973 AM 2251 UTC 3 Oct 2017

2251 6972.95 Carrier and perhaps traces of audio. As per the Radio Pirana operator, this is a Latin American pirate they call "Lupo". I think I'll be sitting on this frequency for a while  ;D
2256 Now I am hearing music
2321 Still hearing music.

Just the barest trace of a carrier here at 2305 UTC under S5 noise floor  :(

I've been seeing that one and one around 6929.850 for the last hour or so. The one around 6930'is getting stronger

That's interesting, Chris. I've heard a weak station there on and off for years. I always put it down to a mixing problem due to a number of MW sticks in close proximity to my house? 23:00 is roughly the time I've heard around the equinoxes.

Yes, it is very interesting. I think some of our "bumps in the night" are actually distant pirates. 20 to 50 watts from South America means we usually don't get much more than a carrier and traces of audio.
