MW Loggings / WJML 1110 Petoskey MI was: Hearing Grateful Dead bootlegs on 1110

« on: November 21, 2023, 0203 UTC »

This has been going on well more than an hour. Aimed west, could be anywhere from south to northwest.  Mixing with WBT (dominant) and XERED (Mexico). In moderate at times. Not sure I've heard any talk but has faded often. These are clearly bootlegs ... I can tell from years of listening to their music.... 1110 seems an odd channel for a pirate. I have considered Petoskey MI but nothing on area SDR. Nothing on SDR near Pittsfield MA WUPE. NOT // Cadiz KY or Clinton AR. At a loss on this one... I have had a spur / image problem with my antenna, but this behaving like a fairly regular type station. I'm north of Toronto ON. It's Nov 20 2102 EST. 0202 UTC Nov 21. Saul C

Sounds like something Dvorzak would compose. Best on south rather than west antenna. From north of Toronto ON, 22:20 UTC (17:10 EST). SINPO 44444 ... as it progresses seems more modern than Dvorzak... somewhere between Dvorzak and Vangelis

1620 ... Hearing 80s music without any talk, presume what is known as the oldies pirate is at it again tonight. Moderate to strong signal. Seems better on south antenna than on west one. @ Burnt River ON

1710. Music u/dominant NJ. It's 70-80s rock. Familiar tune I can't put a name to, though it's always reminded me vaguely of Bowie. At 2312 EST. Bee Gees, Jive Talking at 2319. Seems best on south antenna rather than west one. I'm in Burnt River ON, north of Toronto. Would welcome a QSL. sauldx at sympatico dot ca - Saul Chernos

1620 mostly if not all adult standards-format style Christmas music. Noted from north of Toronto on my wsw antenna, SINPO 43334, at 2350 EST. My e-mail if the op wishes to acknowledge my reception is schernos AT sympatico DOT CA
Piano instrumental includes winter wonderland at 23:54...maybe as part of medley
Now a male voice running atop music at 2356 but signal fades - sounds not like a DJ, more like a prerecorded commentary or story about Christmas Mass in 1818.
Return to music, an instrumental hymn I have heard at Christmas masses but don't know the name. Thus runs over the hourtop.
Mixing with Rebelde Cuba, an IL HAR station, and KOZN NE.
