Shortwave Pirate / YHWH 7475 AM 0351 UTC 8 June 2021

« on: June 08, 2021, 0353 UTC »

Turned on the radio just in time to hear the "Days of Hard Life" song. Signal was fair at best with lots of noise tonight.

Can't hear anything now as of 0355 UTC on the frequency. Can't tell if he signed off immediately after the song or if the signal just fell to nothing.

Update: Checked a few West Coast SDRs; he seems to have indeed signed off a few moments after I tuned in.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Radio Vanuatu back on the air again

Thanks for keeping us updated on Vanuatu!

I turned on my radio just for a couple minutes between 0630-0700 UTC last night just before ending my day here. (Even if I'm headed for bed, I habitually check for Mali on 5995 and Vanuatu on 11835 around that hour.) I could hear music through the noise on 11835 kHz. Also, I checked 7890 kHz and heard no audio, but could detect a signal. Most nights, I don't even get a hint of the harmonic on that frequency.

He's back for the second night in a row with the usual preaching style. Better signal with less noise than last night.

I haven't heard this one in a week or more, but YHWH's back on 7475 kHz right now. Fair to good signal with fading heard here northeast of Seattle, but quite a bit of noise in the band as well.

0225 UTC: "Days of Hard Life" song played; the signal's really getting buried by noise now and fading deeply here.

Update on that logging and discussion back at the start of May: The conditions on mediumwave have fluctuated a bit here since I logged CHHA, but I heard their music on 1610 a couple nights ago when I checked. So they're still being heard way out here near Seattle.

0004 UTC: "White Wedding" by Billy Idol heard via the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C. Good loud signal.
0006 UTC: "Alive and Kicking" by Simple Minds. I missed the quick ID, but from the signal and that huge waterfall on the SDR, this looks like Mix Radio International.

0105 UTC: Just checked back on this one from my own radio here near Seattle. Weak but audible music now.
