Huh? / "Creepy" radio broadcast making the rounds again online
« on: June 29, 2025, 2057 UTC »
Comrades, it appears a clip of an unknown/mysterious broadcast is making the rounds again on youtube.

Linked here is the original recording of said UNID station: https://www.reddit.com/r/TerrifyingAsFuck/comments/w11thm/this_is_the_audio_of_a_supposed_radio_broadcast/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf

A huge youtuber (Nexpo) recently featured this in his latest video. Now, since the vast majority of his audience are, no offense to them, clueless when it comes to radio and how it works, I figured I'd link it here to an audience more familiar with radio.

My theory? It's one of those syndicated religious call-in shows this guy picked up via skywave at night. Boy, if they think this is creepy, wait until they hear an old Bro. Scare chanting and wailing clip!

FM DX Loggings / Big E-skip opening logs
« on: June 26, 2025, 1752 UTC »
The E-Skip gods treated me to the once-a-year-if-you're-lucky E-skip opening today. I only could log three stations, but that's pretty good considering I'm working with the very crowded NYC FM Band.

KXCV 90.5 Maryville, Missouri - College
KTBG 90.9 Kansas City - alternative rock
KUAF 91.3 Fayetteville, Arkansas - NPR

I guess I'll see ya next year, e-skip!

Huge huge signal in Queens! They're coming in like they're running 50kW on my Tecsun 990. Thanks for the show! Love the dance mix.

Here's an interesting station that has recently signed on in Brooklyn. A Lubavitcher Chasid station, broadcasting in Yiddish and sometimes in English. They have a readable signal all over Brooklyn and western Queens (Ridgewood, Bushwick etc). I'm unsure if possible, but keep your radio tuned to 1700 at night; they might just be heard, though far more likely WRCR will wipe them out. If they just went up to 1710, they'd have a much better signal.

Hearing some electronic dance music right now, decently strong signal, moderate fading in Queens, NYC.

73s whoever is on!

Huh? / Re: Possessed Radio??? Well, it wouldn't be the first.

Where's KIPM to turn this into a monologue?

Quiet but clear in Queens NYC. Anyone playing the Beach Boys has my ears. Caught the tail end of Kokomo into Good Vibrations.

Massive signal tonight in Queens! Indoor reception too, with my Tecsun 990 and the telescopic antenna. Caught the end of Golden Years into All those years ago - George Harrison. Usually I have to go out the local park to get the pirate signals, but not tonight. Coming in like the 50kW WBCQ.

Minimal fading and loud & clear audio! Thanks for the show Wolverine.

Tom Waits Frank's Wild Years! Tom's my favorite. This is a real treat for me.

A years theme showed, clearly. Holding back the years! Another killer tune.

I have conflicting feelings about this. Considering he is/was turning VOA into nothing more than the Voice Of Trump - it's almost for the best that the transmitters are turned off.

On the other hand - I can't help but hate to see the shortwaves get less and less populated. And to know that the money they're "saving" is going into the greedy hands of Musk, Trump & associates.

(There's no way to comment on this without getting political to one degree or another. I'm merely stating my opinion. If it breaks the rules, I apologize, but I hope I made my case.)

In the noise but still very readable. Hearing the Ramones now. Heard the DJ "freezing our butts off...had to switch frequencies cause the other radio was overheating"

Baby I Love You by the Ramones. Believe this is an old Ronnettes song? Could be wrong.
0338z Love will tear us apart Joy Division (someone came on 6965 LSB and now over top I believe. Definitely hearing another station with music on top of Barefoot Radio now at 0339)

QTH Ridgewood, Queens NYC with the trusty Tecsun 990. Heavy fading beginning to ramp up.

Any Beatles by chance? All 80s! No problem. Thank you regardless!

Light my fire by jose feliciano right now! Great signal on the Maryland SDR.

Decent signal tonight on the Tecsun 990, heard in Queens, NY. Hearing host talking right now about propagation.

Booming signal in Ridgewood Queens, NY tonight on the Tecsun PL 990! Old 1930s/40s blues numbers so far. Groovy sound so far.

I hear it too, over here in Ridgewood Queens. Faint audio but clearly heard “this is a test…” on my Tecsun PL 990.
