0145Z 15111 They're deep in the noise. See a definite carrier with a  good lock, but audio is very low. Heard a "radio" for an ID, but nothing more. Hearing music, but unable to tell what it is.

0148Z 25231 Gerry & the Pacemakers "Ferry Cross the Mersey"
0202Z 15231 Procol Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale"

Playing a recording of a British pirate radio program.

Listening on a NJ Perseus and the signal is very good. Heard an ID, but signal faded at exactly the crucial moment. Figures. Sounded like "You are listening to Radio <something>urch."  (Lurch? Search? ??)

Also checked some Perseii in UK & Germany, but heard absolutely nothing on the frequency.

0237Z Program is done & all can be heard is a dead carrier.

I've been listening to 365 AA Fargo, ND (KENIE) for 20+ years. Used to use that fella when flying around back then, but haven't flown in years. Still tune it in today... listening to it right now on an old Collins ADF in the basement. AA is like an old friend.

Hope they don't decommission too many of them. On the other hand... if they clear out the lower part of the band, perhaps the FCC will allocate some LW broadcasting? Would love to have a 2MW transmitter. However, can't afford the electric bill.

Not so much as a hint of carrier at home, so listened on a Perseus in Northern Italy. Some good Polka music. Was around S7. Off around 0202Z.

Took 20 minutes for him to say good bye.

They've been like that for as long as I can remember going back to the mid-80's. Maybe I'm getting old and memory fades, but I could swear the guys on ch 6 are the exact same guys that have been on there for decades droning on & on & on & on about absolutely nothing.

Don't forget to venture beyond the allocated band. Have some locals here that hang out on 27.455 USB.

@Newfoundland DXer
Didn't sound like maritime chat. Heard him again last night (12/25/2011 around 0300Z) on 1690 AM. Talked for a bit, played about 15-20 seconds of music, talked more, dropped the carrier, back with more talk & a little music, and so on. Don't remember him talking with anyone on the air this time.

Have seen Harri's blog, but didn't hear anything that may be identified as that one, but I sure wouldn't bet a beer that it isn't.
