Shortwave Broadcast / WBCQ frequency
« on: February 22, 2017, 0031 UTC »
I'm listening to WBCQ at the moment on 7.490 MHz. However the announcer is saying "WBCQ 7.415 MHz" during IDs. Anyone know why they are identifying the wrong frequency?

This guy has been reported by World of Radio the past several weeks. Evidently he pops up all over the shortwave bands

North American Shortwave Pirate / KCPR 6925.122 AM 02:05 UTC

Tuned to 6925 khz at 0224 UTC. Decent signal but with some noise and QRM. Modern Day Cowboy by Tesla, King for a Day by Planet P Project.   Good to Be Me by Uncle Kracker at 0232, followed by OM announcer but couldn't hear an ID. Noise, QRM  and fading more severe at 0236Z

Signal isn't bad here when there is no noise/QRM. Signal is peaking S7-S9. QRM is peaking at 10 over 9

Just heard ID KCPR "Cowboy Pirate Radio". Gave QSL info but couldn't copy thru QRM

Playing Chris LeDoux "Tie a Knot in the Devil's Tail" at 0242

Fast Times by Sammy Hagar then SSTV at 0247. Phil Collins "In The Air Tonight" at 0250Z

The announcer has a real knack for talking during periods of high noise and deep fades. Uncanny!

Announcer said he was going to shut down as "it's getting a little hot in here".  Played Pirates Anthem by Home T and Cocoa Tea and Shabba Ranks then off air at 0310

Wolverine Radio just tuned in at 0155 UTC.  6940 khz USB. Great S9 + 10dB signal here in South Central Kentucky. One Day by Fishbone followed by ID by OM at 0158Z. Give Me One Reason by Tracy Chapman.  One Headlight by The Wallflowers afterward. Using ICOM IC-706 and a G5RV antenna

I never could get solid copy on the ID, even though he IDed at least 3 times. It was very quick so Liquid Radio is a good guess. Are they known for playing dance music?

Dance music peaking S7 with lots of atmospheric noise. SINPO = 34323. My location is south central Kentucky.

Announcer at 2110 UTC but could not catch ID. Launched back into more dance music. Noise floor is almost equal to signal and cannot pull much info at this time

Harder Better Faster Stronger by Daft Punk at 2116 UTC. Enough of a signal I could Shazam this song

Another announcer at 2119 with ID, but still can't pull out. Something Radio. More dance music. The Reeling by Passion Pit at 2120 UTC

Leave You Far Behind by Lunatic Calm playing at 2123 UTC. Still weak signal relative to noise floor

"This is DJ Chelsea One"?  I think this is what the announcer said just before another ID which I could not hear.   More dance music right after

No real improvement in the signal from south central Kentucky. 2145 UTC

Shortwave Broadcast / BBC news being broadcast on 6010 khz at 0500Z
« on: February 11, 2017, 0517 UTC »
Does anyone know why BBC news program is being broadcast on 6010 khz?  I'm hearing this on 2/11/2017 at 0515Z with a good signal, 10dB over S9. 6010khz is not a frequency listed on the BBC Worldservice website. The strong signal seems to indicate the transmitter is located in the Americas. Google didn't produce any results either. Very curious as I haven't heard the BBC on shortwave in years
