Recorder catch:

6925 (rx in USB) SIO 232

Also heard this with a weak signal in and out of the noise - noticed this shortly after the Laser Hot Hits relay ended with traces of audio.

05:20z can hear music with what sounds like an ID with audio effects, but can't make it out

Audio (05:20z-05:22z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925Usb0520z-0522z09-27-12.mp3

Thanks!

Booming signal & audio with little to no fade - had the recorder running and change direction of array at some point for even better reception.

Chris, I went back and listened to my recording from RIC the other night and pulled this from the announcment at the end of that broadcast:

"...this is K O S M O A...a real a one hundred percent Venezuelan pirate...if you want a QSL from us please write to tango university november alpha victor echo kilo oscar siera malta oscar siera at hot mail dot com or at yahoo dot com..."

Not sure why there's an 'A' mentioned after KOSMO - the phonetics are interesting with what sounds like 'university' for 'U' & 'malta' for 'M'?  Made a short mp3 of the ID & email addy if it helps:
