North American Shortwave Pirate / Amphetamine Radio 6925 USB 2324 UTC JULY 23, 2015

« on: July 23, 2015, 2331 UTC »

Hearing spoken word at 2324 UTC and now music at 0029 UTC. Signal is rising in and out of the noise and static...poor copy, but there is something there.
2336 UTC Signal picked up a bit during a flute instrumental...sounds like a TV program or something of the sort.
2347 UTC Still hearing this with a widely varying signal with some spoken word over eerie sounding music/sound effects.
2353 UTC Faded in with TV theme music...sounded for a minute like the little musical ditty with the pocket watch played in "For A Few Dollars More" with Clint Eastwood...
2359 UTC Signal is gone I think....hard to tell
0005 UTC Back again but very weak...
0012 UTC Signal jumped a bit...still playing eerie sounding flute or violin music...either some B-grade sci-fi or spaghetti western music.
0014 UTC OM said something...
0017 UTC Sounds like a QSO between ops now..hmmm, voice is familiar
0024 UTC Signal boost now with QSO in progress. Really loud here with OM and YL...
0028 UTC S7 now with TV theme music again
While we're on the Clint Eastwood movie theme request...how about "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"-Hugo Montenegro?
0033 UTC "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly"-THANKS! I used to be able to whistle that tune back in the 60's!!!
Also here... http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,22641.msg82224.html#msg82224

Thanks JFarley and ByteBORG for confirming the Clint Eastwood movie theme

European Pirates and Private Stations / UNID 6306 AM 2352 UTC JULY 22, 2015

« on: July 22, 2015, 2354 UTC »

Hearing "Whiter Shade of Pale"-Procol Harum at 2352 UTC. Signal is just above the noise floor but steady and getting stronger as local sunset gets closer
0004 UTC Man announcer I think, into UNID song...lots of T-storm static making for tough copy, but the audio seems to be excellent with good bottom end
0014 UTC Man announcer again...sounds familiar but can't make out ID...dutch music/polka? Summer has not been kind for Euro's here in the Northeast.
0029 UTC "Bridge Over Troubled Waters"-Simon & Garfunkel
I'm sure reception would be much better here, but my neighbor to the east is grabbing all the signal
0045 UTC Oh well...hopefully sombody will ID this one! Frequency seems to be right on 6306.....
Thanks for the Thursday early evening show from across the big pond!

Yep Chris L....that array just ain't fair

Oliver, the mailbox address given at 2228 UTC was part of a fake advertisement skit between an OM and a YL. The address in Kittery, Maine is not a station address. Hmmm...how about a gmail address Amphetamine Radio?
