Signal just jumped up to listenable levels at 2008 UTC with UNID song ending, and at 2009 UTC "Wonderful World"-Sam Cooke with announcer voiceover during the song. Lasted a couple of minutes with S3 peak, then back into the noise again at 2011 UTC
2026 UTC Signal up again with an UNID funky pop tune that you could dance to
2038 UTC "Drivers Seat"-Sniff & the Tears?
2054 UTC Nice even signal at S3 now, but I have no clue what this song is... reggae sounding pop tune
2057 UTC A Euro folksy pop sounding tune
2101 UTC Signal disappeared into the noise...only a weak carrier now. I measure the frequency as 15070.1 KHZ AM

Thanks for the show today Shortwave Papa! Tough copy most of the time, but some peak moments over the last hour that would be better if I knew the names of the songs I was hearing

I'm getting audio fading in and out of the noise here at 1735 UTC. Signal is only above the noise for a second or two and then back down again. Not enough to ID the song!
1800 UTC Seems that the signal was best at 1735 UTC, as I could get only bits of audio until 1740 UTC and now at 1800 UTC, at best a weak carrier.

2200 UTC and just the barest hint of audio here through the high noise level. Still 45 minutes to sunset, so I am hopeful that the signal will improve
2219 UTC Music is coming up now, but not enough to ID song
2258 UTC S4 and well above the noise here, but I don't know the name of this song!
2300 OFF!!! Darn, signal was just hitting the peak...oh well. Thanks for the show this evening Radio Mirabelle!

I'm hearing music at 0015 UTC on LSB! It's just above threshold, but audible
0038 UTC I'm still hearing music, but not strong enough to ID the songs played
0043 UTC Man announcer?, then a song that sounds familiar(not sure but kinda sounded like Fire-Bruce Springsteen or Stand by Me-Ben E King....hard to tell)
0051 UTC Man announcer then UNID song
0100 UTC Man announcer with clear ID!
0107 UTC Man announcer into UNID tune (too much noise tonight )
0111 UTC Man announcer
0120 UTC Still getting audio, but the noise is just too much tonight! This would be a great frequency to use when things quiet down Radio Mirabelle! thanks for the show!

European Pirates and Private Stations / "Abu from Dhabi" 6302 KHZ AM 2353 UTC MARCH 13, 2015

« on: March 13, 2015, 2356 UTC »

Fair to good signal punching through the noise at 2353 UTC with foreign language vocal tune by lady singer. With this kind of signal, I suspect this is our good friend Abu "Black Bandit" Dhabi
0001 UTC "This is Abu from Dhabi". Mentioned that the signal is not so strong in the US, so must be getting reports from Iann's chat room
0005 UTC "Money For Nothing"-Dire Straits

Very weak carrier noted at 2345 UTC with just the barest hint of audio through the high noise level here. Nada on the copy....

Today's (3-13-15) release appears to be a clarification of what the new rules do and what they don't. Interesting reading....

I'm getting audio here at 2210 UTC with bits and pieces of music rising in and out of the noise level. Sounds like tangos! Tentative Radio Tango Italia until sunset gets a little closer here
Ooops, posted wrong frequency....corrected

Tuned in at 2107 UTC and after a few minutes, I'm getting some threshold audio at 2110 UTC. Definitely music, but too weak to ID song. Still, nice to hear! Not an easy catch here o60Dgr
2120 UTC Hard to tell, but I'm hearing a man announcer now
