Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
Thanks!
Right now, the KiwiSDR listed as using the 500 ft northeast beverage is actually connected to the sky loop also, as I have been having some intermittent issues with the feedline that I have been unable to pin down: http://sdr.hfunderground.com:8076/
It's still listed as connected to the Beverage, but that's a lie
If I can't easily resolve the issue, I'll change the listed antenna until I am able to fix it.

1055 Looks like this just signed on, SIO 444. Somewhat distorted audio? Lola Young "Messy"
1101 Better audio now. Also, the adjacent 6865 Chinese Jammer just went QRT.

General Radio Discussion / NOTICE OF UNLICENSED OPERATION
« on: April 22, 2025, 1222 UTC »
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC or Commission) received a complaint from the Stafford
County, Virginia Sheriff’s Office (Sheriff) concerning interference to the Stafford County P25 public
safety radio communications system (Stafford County System) operating countywide on certain
exclusively licensed radio frequencies. In June 2024, Agents from the Columbia, Maryland Field Office
of the FCC’s Enforcement Bureau (Bureau) conducted an investigation and determined that the source of
interference to the Stafford County System was a radio transmitting signals in an attempt to selfauthenticate and thereby gain access to the Stafford County System. The signals were emanating from a
handheld Motorola APX7000 two-way radio that generated a unique identification code and had
apparently been illegally programmed to operate on Stafford County System’s licensed frequencies. The
investigation identified you—John T. Calhoun—as the radio’s operator. You stated to Sheriff
investigators that you had programmed the radio with the Stafford County System’s frequencies and that
you were operating the radio at the time it made a self-authentication transmission in an attempt to gain
access to the Stafford County System.

but sometimes I can't get on it, and sometimes it seems it is just too far east! LOL but thanks for those!)
