Yes, I was thinking perhaps the Hampton Roads area.

CBC/Radio-Canada outlines extent of budgetary challenge and its plan to address it
Radio Canada International (RCI) will undergo a transformation that will see the service move away from shortwave and satellite transmission in order to focus its efforts on the web. The service will also end the production of news bulletins and close its Russian and Brazilian departments in order to concentrate on the five languages most spoken by its audiences: French, English, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin. “RCI will continue, on the web, to pursue its mission of disseminating Canadian democratic values abroad,” says Lacroix...

I've been hearing music, not a bad signal, about S9, but a bit of t-storm static.
No ID heard yet.

General Radio Discussion / Community service for running pirate radio station

Retired Navy air traffic controller to do community service for running pirate radio station
Albert Knighten, a retired Navy air traffic controller who was arrested in December 2011 on charges of unlicensed broadcasting for running a neighborhood community radio station. Knighten got in additional hot water when he missed his arraignment hearing in order to appear on a panel about civil rights and broadcasting in Washington. And although the Florida law makes pirate broadcasting a felony punishable with up to five years in the slammer, Knighten joins a long line of unlicensed broadcasters who will do no time.
Instead the state prosecutor recommended that Knighten be placed in “diversion,” which means he will have to complete 20 hours of community service in a six month program. If he completes the program then the criminal case will be dropped....

This is the US Navy Link-11 system discussed in the other thread. Signal reports welcome, so we can try to locate about where the transmitter site is.

Some more datapoints:
Someone to the south of me near DC had it at S8
Northern Florida less than S1
S7 in Northern KY
If we can get some daytime reports to the north east (New England area) it might help. I'd like to see what the NVIS coverage area is.

With a few more signal reports from listeners (ideally at around the same time) we may be able to pin down about where these transmissions originate.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Link-11 6944-6950 kHz
« on: April 02, 2012, 1636 UTC »
I've been noting Link-11 transmissions in this range 24 hours a day, for the last few days. I mentioned this in an earlier blog post: http://www.hfunderpants.com/?p=787
This is a US military data system. Since it can be heard 24 hours a day, that implies that they are somewhere close by. If they can be heard here, then pirates transmitting on 6950 or even 6955 could be heard by the people operating these transmissions, and could possibly cause interference to them, annoying the users.

I heard the 1410 transmission, and was surprised at the signal strength. This is certainly one I hope to catch again.

Yes, they returned to 6973 recently. They're a good benchmark to see how propagation is across the pond on 6 and 7 MHz.
