North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID, 6930 AM, 0135 UTC
« on: October 18, 2012, 0206 UTC »
I just caught the tail end of someone playing music that I couldn't identify. The signal was very faint here, and barely audible. Did anyone else catch this?

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Ronin Shortwave, 6935 AM

Just tuned in to hear Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild at S6 on the FT-2000. Fair amount of noise on the band, but its late June in North America. It comes with the territory.

AC/DCs you shook me all night long.

General Radio Discussion / What was the first pirate station you ever logged?
« on: June 07, 2012, 2049 UTC »
Back in the spring of 1993, I managed to pick up WKIK out of Jacksonville (?) on an old Hallicrafter's SX-73. Later on that year, I got my first verification from WLIS: We Love Interval Signals. The QSL had charicatures of goose-stepping Nazis on it, with the caption: "Always the first order of the FCC: SEIZE THE RADIO STATION!" It got printed in George Zeller's Monitoring Times column later, which was a huge rush for me back then.

What was your first pirate, and what radio did you hear them on?

I've got the Rolling Stones 'Sweet Virginia' right above my noise level here. I think its an AM broadcast, but I've got a better copy on them in USB. SIO 222

Channel Z by the B-52s, plus what sounds like the chimes of Big Ben.  

Very weak here tonight. SIO 222

MUCH improved signal by 0145, up to an S8 on the RadioJet. SIO 433

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Ronin, 6925 AM, 0045 utc
« on: May 24, 2012, 0057 UTC »
Came on the band around 0045 utc with the riff from the Rolling Stones Satisfaction as an interval signal before going into a bluegrass song. Might have identified as Ronin Radio Shortwave, but I missed it. Very eclectic selection of music, ranging from bluegrass to blues to Harry Belafante. Lots of static on the band, but a good signal nonetheless from the mobile. S7 on the Yaesu FT-857D.

General Radio Discussion / May 24th: Bob Dylan's Birthday
« on: May 23, 2012, 2115 UTC »
Just an FYI:

Bob Dylan's birthday is the 24th, and I figure there might be a station or two to commemorate the occasion. No inside information here, just an educated guess on my part.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Caroline Relay, 6925 USB, around 0320
« on: May 20, 2012, 0327 UTC »
Just heard a clip from Radio Caroline: Music followed by a male announcer looking for advertising. Apparently they have great rates, and even better if you're local.

Good signal, but a very brief transmission. Off by 0322

« on: May 19, 2012, 0108 UTC »
I've got blues music here in Iowa on 6925 at 0105 UTC. Captain Morgan perhaps? Awful lot of static on the band tonight.

Rave On Radio ID at around 0110.

Sounds like an Allman Brothers show tonight!

First catch with my brand new Bonito RadioJet "SDR"
