It's been a while since tuning into pirate radio.  Excellent reception at 03:24 tune-in, but had to narrow the filter a bit to avoid the regular tone heard centering on 6942.   Walt (Masset, BC)

Bizarre sounding music at 0610 tune-in.  Good signal, but unfortunately, a lot of summertime static tonight.  Thanks for the efforts!   73,  Walt (Masset, BC)

Fair reception at 03:22 tune-in and noted the co-channel,  "3-2-1 out" and "test".  Much stronger than Radio Free Euphonia.  Quite a lot of static tonight.  But still another 80 minutes until LSS in Masset.

Tuned in at 0425 to hear a lot of static, but with music playing.   Take away the static, and reception would be quite good into Masset, BC.  Still, it's only approaching LSS now.

0515 dead air for a bit, so I thought they were gone, but then back again.  Unfortunately, the static is getting much worse.

0606   Finally, an ID (just at the same moment, digital hash), but it's Outhouse Radio.  Op wasn't sure how much longer he'd continue.   Thanks for the program tonight!  Much improved during the last hour or so.

Easy, Paul.  It's Mix Radio International.  They've been all over the place for the last week or so.  Very strong into Masset at 03:44 tune-in.  Frequency is 12100 USB even, and not 12103, although they might have dropped in frequency earlier.

Pretty decent reception into Masset at 04:25 tune-in, on 6956.0   Then the usual sign-off anthem that Sternradio usually plays.

I've been chasing MRI all over the bands.  Presently very good reception into Masset on 9785 USB at 04:00 UTC.  Nice graphics on my KiwiSDR waterfall between 9795 and 9800.

Good reception into Masset at 22:48 tune-in (thanks to Eric Fetters-Walp for the alert on WOR).  Nice graphics too on the waterfall between 12085 and 12090 kHz.

Great reception with MRI logo on my KiwiSDR's waterfall.  Loop music from 0410 UTC tune-in.  Interesting choice of frequencies, and much better than the 42 meter pirate band this time of the year.  ID at 0414.   QTH is Masset, BC off the NW coast of BC, Canada.
Images appear between 12080 and 12085, and also include HFU and Bermuda Triangle.  Mix Radio International Worldwide ID at 0418:40 and preceded by
Dang! by RJC (Rhythm & Jazz Coalition).   After ID: 
Softly (Forteba Remix) by [feat. Jaidene Veda]
....still going at 04:35 UTC, although they were mentioning concluding the program.  "In real life, this is Mix Radio International".  Broadcasting from somewhere in North America....off at 04:36:10    Thanks for the great show and the unique waterfall kaleidoscope!
