Went back and looked at the recording for the original transmission you noted. It was weak here, all I got was:



And of course, since I was reviewing the recording, I wasn't recording, so I missed the second one...

Back again at 0027 UTC, still seemingly playing some kind of radio drama?

Carrier was on for a bit, went off, now is back on 6954.6 KHz AM again with low modulation. Possibly an ID of some kind. Then into an old time kind of tune at 0003 UTC. Carrier is S8 but audio is extremely low.

Audible here on 3/13/2014 at 2053 UTC. It is very weak, but I can clearly see it (waterfall), hear it and copy it. Not only weak but moderate fading too. Slow code with long dots and dashes.

General Radio Discussion / Pirate radio activity alert, 3/14-3/15 (SWL Fest)!

« on: March 13, 2014, 2027 UTC »

If you are new to pirate radio listening on shortwave, or an old hat just not keeping track, this weekend (Friday through Saturday night) is the annual SWL Fest gathering. In years past, this has resulted in an uptick in shortwave pirate activity, plus there are some stations that only come out during SWL Fest. This is a good time to be listening. 6925 KHz is a good place to start.

As always, you can read and post loggings in our Shortwave Pirate forum, and the IRC chat should also be quite busy too. Using the IRC chat is very easy. Log in to the HFU forums with your username and password, and then up at the top of the page you'll see a link to "Try the #pirateradio IRC chat". Your nickname will automatically be filled out, so you can just click CONNECT and end up in the chat room. It's easy!

Stay tuned, stay classy.

S9+15 (almost S9+20). Sounds like some kind of Italian ballad or something.
