7200 kHz right now is full of people talking over each other about how drunk they are, this activity has been around since the dawn of the hobby. Pigmeat got it right, & it helps to have a sense of humor to appreciate (?) how "bad" things can get late at night on LSB. The 3840 guys a few years ago were (are?) legends to each other. 7200 seems to be the "new reliable".

For some reason some of the most obnoxious people in the hobby (outside drunk zones of 80m) seem to post on QRZ. The vast majority of people I've met on air have been helpful and friendly.
I just had a casual QSO on 10m with a guy across the country, and the general courtesy level of the old timers in this field is quite a throwback to very different times.
The hobby seems pretty healthy on air, qrz forums not so much. [QST magazine is another weird stagnant pool with a few bright spots IMO]

SIO 323 but the slide guitars are cutting through. Great sounds to be hearing out of the SW bands tonight, excellent as usual, thank you!

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Omdurman Sudan 7200/7205 kHz
« on: July 26, 2022, 0445 UTC »
Presumed R. Omdurman Sudan on 7200 kHz at 0440z, with presumed Sudanese music playing very legibly beneath some somewhat irritated/amused amateur radio ops.
This seems to be the domestic service, per 2021 WRTH. The music is very interesting, a mix of middle eastern and west African and currently featuring an accordian.

Pigmeat was Fansome's spirit animal.
I am thankful for Pigmeat's return.
Long live Pigmeat.
Long Live Al Fansome.
Amen. God bless all of you.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Becker bill to remove police radio encryption picks up support
« on: May 23, 2022, 0346 UTC »
Agree with all comments above. Locally, the Highway Patrol is not encrypted, and when certain events take place, the radio is often the only way to have any clue what actually happened. I'm thinking of a particular situation a few years ago, none of the details made the local news. As said above, "journalism" these days is a joke, and their stories are weak at best, outright propaganda most of the time. It could actually help the public image of the police (not sure if that's this politician's idea, probably not).

Good signal for the music out here, can't copy a station ID...
Edit: Thank you so much for this fabulous music! This kind of blues is somehow so relaxing tonight. Just incredible tunes, none of them familiar to me and I thought I knew the blues pretty well. Cheers!

Thanks for posting this, really interesting and unique footage. Amusing to see Brother Stair in action, as it were. The video quality isn't the greatest, but what a strange project! Brings back a lost era.

Hey R. Pushka, the signal probably skipped right over me, no worries! I'm sure I'll hear you one of these days, I'll be listening. Had no idea where the station was.
Anyhow your station is without doubt unique and interesting, thanks for the enjoyment.
