26.805 FM - a speech in German - Adolf Hitler - with a German-accented narrator in English. This has been on for several hours. Signal S9 + 20dB, with fading.

Strong 11m band opening this evening-many frequencies occupied. Unusual was that the band was closed during daylight hours, then opened up after sunset. Heard a station LSB 27.505 MHz 01:15z 29-AUG-2021, QSB, OM and a youngster operating with some background chatter from other users on frequency. OM was trying to interest youngster in amateur radio, by mentioning how ionospheric propagation works, and mentioned working stations around the world. Youngster asked about the price of OM's radio, OM stated "$600.00". OM then mistakenly(?) ID'ed as "VE6DW". Online search for this callsign yielded only brief mention in a few ancient issues of amateur radio publications - from 1950 to the 1960's. Perhaps OM was pulling the leg of the casual listener. 11m opening suddenly closed up tight at about 01:30z 29-AUG-2021. Just for the sheer unpredictability of what I might hear, I greatly enjoy monitoring "freeband".

Pirates no longer interfering with legitimate stations but instead
with each other - no honor among (spectrum) thieves.

Ecclectic mix of music - I heard the same segment as CTYankee which then transitioned, abruptly, to 60's bubblegum hits "Yummy Yummy Yummy" and "Sugar Sugar". Receiving via the N1NTE (Holland Mass) and K3FEF (Milford PA) SDR's. Reception is considerably stronger in Mass (S9) than PA (S6). Now 80's music "Bette Davis Eyes" (13:47 EST).

Radio Azteca S7-S9 on N1NTE KiwiSDR, located on CT/MA border. Excellent program, well produced even if a bit dated. Busting my sides laughing.  20:36 UTC: "Radio Azteca - The Leader in Bodily Function Radio!"
