FM Free Radio / Re: An NYC roundup (May 2024)
« on: June 02, 2024, 1626 UTC »
I got an update on the IDs on some of these stations.

Shoutout to D. Goren for helping me out.

88.9 might be Telemiracle or Tele Mirak La in Kreyol from Flatbush.
…or Jamaica has it’s own little Haitian radio scene and they have one on the freq. I’ve listened there a little but not enough to really know who’s who…if you ever hear anything on 90.1 that would be Krik Krak, probably.
90.5 is Brooklyn Community Radio
> 90.9: French African, Haitian or some sort of creole
Jamaica I think. The Flatbush Haitian moved to another freq. a couple of weeks ago.
> 91.3: Haitian/Creole
I get a lot of Newark Haitians here, this could be Tete a Tete but again maybe jamaica
> 91.7: Distinctly religious sounding creole
Probably La Voix Du Peuple in Flatbush. They’re pretty powerful
> 94.1: Almost impossible without my SDR to filter out NYC’s sideband, there is a station here, spanish music
I have a West Indian one here…good music good time. Not sure what this is…Bronx possibly
> 94.3: Sometimes a spanish station, sometimes rap (not the station from Jersey)
The Flatbush station here is Firevibez, mostly Caribbean stuff, but might play some rap.
> 98.5: Nearly 24/7 mainly in english, rap, dance, Sundays they play classic soul
Yard Vibes Radio in Flatbush. They ID frequently.
> 105.5: Reggae
Crossroads family in Flatbush most likely
> 106.3: Just heard last night, soul/r&b, quiet audio
Wild FM Flatbush

I'm not sure what is accurate or not. I continue to hear KCBS Pyongyang on 11680khz via multiple SDRs, and some VOK frequencies as well. I'm assuming what is off air is their stations aimed directly at the R.O.K?

Surprised to see R. Free Whatever only having three. I remember they used to be far more active.

Thanks for your cataloguing though, this is extremely resourceful. At least the pirates keep providing something good to listen to on SW.

FM Free Radio / An NYC roundup (May 2024)
« on: May 25, 2024, 1749 UTC »
Two things before I go on...I recently realized I've celebrated my ELEVENTH year on this website. What a time.

When I joined here in 2013, believe it or not, I was a sophomore in high school...so do the math (cause I can't, I failed algebra the same year I joined HFU, coincidence???)

Anyway, been living in Queens for two years now. Figured I'd give a roundup of the FM Free stations I can hear on a combo of my trusty Tecsun and my RTL-SDR.

88.9: Two stations, one is Haitian, one is Spanish
89.3: Spanish
90.5: Spanish, very quiet audio
90.9: French African, Haitian or some sort of creole
91.3: Haitian/Creole
91.7: Distinctly religious sounding creole
94.1: Almost impossible without my SDR to filter out NYC’s sideband, there is a station here, spanish music
94.3: Sometimes a spanish station, sometimes rap (not the station from Asbury Park/Tom's River)
94.5: Spanish
98.5: Nearly 24/7 mainly in english, rap, dance, Sundays they play classic soul (I actually love this station too, great music)
99.3: Reggaeton/African
105.5: Reggae
106.3: Soul/r&b, quiet audio

Having grown up in sleepy south jersey, it's such a treat to have so many eclectic and groovy pirates to choose from. I, personally, love it. Raise the jolly roger!

Grab an aircheck if you can!

Shortwave Broadcast / SOH Taiwan 11715kHz 2341z 10/22/23
« on: October 22, 2023, 2344 UTC »
Hearing a rare station for my QTH. 25 meters is alive tonight! Bringing this 1kW SOH station to Haddon Heights, NJ on my Tecsun PL990 using the telescope antenna.

Loud and clear at my QTH on my Tecsun 990. Heard Ventura Highway. Minimal fading but some interference from some ships I presume.

Clarksville! Love the Monkees tune. Thanks

Huh? / Radio Havana Cuba airing adult film audio?
« on: September 19, 2023, 1800 UTC »
Okay, this is a head scratcher. There seems to be a rumor floating around that apparently at some time last week, during an RHC broadcast, there was audio from an...adult film...airing alongside the RHC audio. As if the engineer behind the board was surfing for skinflicks while the same computer was playing the RHC programs (sharing one audio card).

I was alerted to this from this YT video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3uuFRt0O1ro&pp=ygUScmluZ3dheSBtYW5jaGVzdGVy (mentioned at 7:10)

Some commenters have mentioned that RHC and R. Rebelde have been airing the audio of movies and TV for a while now, one commenter mentioned " I haven't heard any "adult film" but the movie Misconduct (2016) played on radio rebelde the other weekend and I did hear what sounded like it was supposed to be a sex scene." I have to imagine this is likely what the person in the YT video may be referring to.

I share this here because if anyone has an off-air recording of this, it'd be one of you, and lord knows I must hear it.

Huh? / Re: FCC Advances FM HD Power Proposal? Oh boy...
« on: September 19, 2023, 1752 UTC »
AM Digital is a failure just like AM IBOC is a failure. There is no way it's going to save AM, but of course we already know that.

Strong signal on my tecsun pl 990 in Long Pond, PA by my friend’s lakehouse. No interference at all, incredible reception

readable here in New Jersey on my PL 990 radio. Music mostly staying above the noise floor and the DJ is clear. Thanks for the show!
