Title: I/Q recordings of fm pirates
Post by: Tim Bucknall on April 09, 2019, 1713 UTC

Does anyone want to trade I/Q recordings of FM pirates so I can tune them and imagine i’m visiting your cities ? :D

I’ve got hours of i/Q Recordings of a short lived Romanian pirate on 87.5 from somewhere in England
And an Irish pirate from Cork heard during a lift on... you guessed it 87.5!

sadly I accidentally deleted my recordings of a local Polish pirate in which you could actually hear them blow out their amplifier stage!


I can make more recordings as stations pop up

My location allows reception of Pirates in the big cities of Liverpool and Birmingham

Remind me in half a year and I can make a recording of the semi local MW pirate that plays non stop Christmas music.  ;D

You can hunt and peck through WBCQ's Pirate Archive list,   http://radionewyorkinternational.com/archives/pirate/   Happy hunting!!!!

I think the WBCQ free radio link has been hijacked. Nothing but dubious downloads for pay to listen services. At least that is the way it looks unless I'm missing where the free radio downloads are.

Actually I heard them playing Christmas music in July on a Monday, I need to check and see if that is a regularly scheduled program .

Those IQ recordings must be a big file size no? Interesting idea. I don't have an SDR to offer any trades though but I'm surprised you don't have any other takers
