Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
Ugh, don't remind me. Worst ownership and front office in professional American team sports, not just baseball.
I have an old Airline tabletop that literally is the same age as The King, manufactured and sold in 1935. My dad got it when he was in med school and needed something to hear the news on, but it has a SW band (only from above the AM band to around 6.5 MHz) which was mostly deaf but used to be able to get WWV on 5 MHz (but never 2.5). Now it's completely dead, but the AM side works well enough despite being about 110 kHz off (e.g. tune to 960 kHz to copy KOA on 850) and still sounds great. It's my baseball radio in the summer.
No worries. I got them from priyom.org.

Shortwave Broadcast / Voice of Turkey (or is it Türkiye?), 7275 AM, 28 MAR 2023, 0300 UTC

Very good signal, SIO 555. If they're not returning to their usual summer frequency of 9515 again this year, it will only be like this for a few weeks.

Good signal for this one. The subsequent transmissions of 17472 at 0220 and 16272 at 0240 were not copyable at my QTH, though they were coming into the KPH kiwi SDR well.

Even with the time change (so tx is an hour earlier relative to solar time), this took its time to reach the west. Copying music at 2357 UTC, SIO 222

That's interesting, KBC World has it's Korean language broadcast to North America at this time on 15575. VOA usually is on 15580. Are you sure it wasn't that frequency instead?

General Radio Discussion / Re: Pirate listeners younger than 30
« on: March 23, 2023, 1734 UTC »So your portable radio is older than you?
I've got Philco tabletop that would be as old as Elvis if he still walked the Earth and a Drake R-3 that's nearly as old as I am.

Just so we're crystal clear, that's going to be 0100 UTC April 2? Since all this is logged in UTC, not local time. Thx.

Very strong copy at my home QT, just after midnight local time. Per priyom.org, this station employs 16-tone MFSK, ~65.79 Bd, 175 Hz digital signal. I have no idea if anyone has come up with an app that can decode that (of course, any text that appears is going to be encrypted) but it would be fun to play around with if there were.

No worries. I got them from priyom.org.
