Title: N.A.P.R.S (WLIS relay) 6921 AM 0105 UTC 12 Jan 2022
Post by: alleycat on January 12, 2022, 0109 UTC
Just came on the air (@ 0000z ?) - audio's a bit weak, but ID sounds like "WLIF". Voices only (no music) but too much QRN to make out what I'm hearing.

Through heavy fading, I heard "Interval Radio - we love interval signals" and "The best interval signals of the 60's, 70's and 80's" (or something to that effect). Also, several addresses given out (for QSL?) including ones in Canada, New York and Pennsylvania. Not hearing on networked radios in the midwest nor New England.

OK, it's WLIS - We Love Interval Signals, and the QSL address is definitely Blue Ridge, PA. Just heard some audio excerpts from "The Prisoner", one of my favorite TV series of all time :)

Weak, but copied clear ID, BRS mailing address, mentions of Jack Boggan, and "We can spot a phony report a mile away." Great to hear WLIS again--even if it is a relay of a decades-old program

Entertaining programming from WLIS -- email address given several times.   Signal fair at Maryland, a bit better at na5b in VA
at 0100 to 0130

Signed off at 0035 as "North American Pirate Relay Service" - so is this the true ID, and "WLIS" was just the content they were relaying?


Yes ..... NAPRS@protonmail.com  (clobdell)

01:08 UTC - Weak and unreadable.
01:30 UTC - Nothing heard. The band opening did not last for very long. Was listening to Trenton VOLMET on 6754 USB at the time.

Note: Unless this was posted 1 hour late, the time of log should read 01:05 UTC as opposed to 00:05 UTC

Oops - you are correct -  I got used to being UTC - 4 in the Eastern time zone, but now that we're off DST it's UTC - 5

That's why I use WClock from DI Management Services. It is free and you can have multiple time zones displayed simultaneously.
