« on: May 28, 2025, 0256 UTC »
0253... Hearing a familiar video game midi from many years ago, although I can't recall the game---
into clear "Liquid Radio" ID
Good signal on Traverse City SDR tonight-- S-9 to 10 over, audio doing pretty good over the noise
Better STN ratio on Lincoln Nebraska SDR http://k0idt-kiwi.ddns.net:8073/

North American Shortwave Pirate / Voice of the Sky 6925 USB 0223 23 APR 2025
« on: April 23, 2025, 0225 UTC »
0223 "Hell is for children" ~ Pat Benatar
0228 VOICE OF THE SKY positive ID
0229 "On the other side" ~ Kansas
0239 "Outlaw Women" ~ Hank Williams Jr.
0255 "Gone Shootin' " ~ AC/DC
0258 "Sirius/Eye In The Sky" ~ The Alan Parsons Project
0306 "Find another fool" ~ Quarterflash (kudos, I had forgotten that song...)
0420 "Don't Look Back" ~ Boston, still listening to you all this time while chatting on the HFU discord.
Reception much the same, sounds good!
0426 "Big Balls" ~ AC-DC---- possibly last heard by me on 8-track tape in my car, while delivering pizzas in the early 1980's!
0429 "My own worst enemy" ~ Lit (Yeah, that might be me. I have some strange recollection of waking up laying halfway onto my bed, with my jacket and shoes still on, sometime in the mid 1980's... was interesting that my mother did not remark upon it, but perhaps she never checked up on me that night, LOL)
0433 "Crutch" ~ Matchbox Twenty
0435 "We're an American Band" ~ Grand Funk Railroad
S-7 with big audio on HFU skyloop SDR at 0223. About the same at 0444, so I didn't bother searching out any other SDRs tonight.
Thanks for the later-primetime show!
KUDOS to the station for the wide range of music in this show tonight--- I have enjoyed it!
If you're still watching the logs, I'd request your favorite song by The Doors--
(as long as it is not 'The Crystal Ship'! jajajaja Keep getting hit with that song after I post loggings--
I appreciate the gesture,
but that song was chosen as our station name for the name of the song alone--
was never one of my favorite Doors tunes)
0455 "Tell All The People" ~ The Doors--- from 'The Soft Parade', I suspect--
THANKS AMIGO!!!
0457 "Down to the waterline" ~ Dire Straits
(just occurred to me how much that lead singer sounds like Bob Dylan...)
0515 "Happy Jack" ~ The Who ("who?" you know...)
0517 "Dreamweaver" (was a prom song during my Junior High School years.... 77? 78?)

General Radio Discussion / Real-time Lightning Map: a non-propagation tool
« on: March 31, 2025, 0222 UTC »
https://www.lightningmaps.org/
As the "electrical storm season" begins, I am reminded that I used to use this site, or one like it, to try to make an assessment of how noisy the shortwave bands were likely to be, and whether I thought it would be worth the effort to make a pirate radio broadcast. Looks pretty noisy tonight.... but I've seen worse.
As 'Doc Brown' might have said, every one of those lightning bolts is like a "1.21 Gigawatt transmitter" keying up on you! LOL
Proximity to the storms makes some difference, of course--- last night that storm band going across northern Wisconsin and Michigan wrought havoc with my favorite SDRs located up there, but as a result I investigated quite a few others across North America where the noise was a little lower.
Just a thought for the ops out there--- being able to "see it" rather than just hear it can be enlightening---
also may show you where your listeners are likely to be disconnecting their antennas....

« on: February 26, 2025, 0159 UTC »
(ID as read by logs further down. I didn't hear it but recognize the Wildfire theme well)
Strong signal on 6925 USB, after WDOG had signed off, but sounding a lot like the same announcer at 0156---
maybe those logging this as the same station on the other thread are correct,
or maybe not. Again huge signal into Chris's SDR,
and not very many IDs, and no clear one that I have heard yet
0159 "Good Times" by Chic, after DJ asking if we could identify the 'theme' of this show...
0203 48 Crash by Suzi Quatro... lots of DJ talk in this whole log, but No ID that I could copy....
GREAT signal!
OK, 0210, piano theme and into "Wildfire", and they outed themselves with that
0222 "SKY PILOT" !!!!!!!!! love ya for that, bro! Still listening... peaking S-9 into Maryland now.
0243 "The Crystal Ship" ~ The Doors! Yeah, thanks for that, amigo
0248 The Soviet National Anthem---
( which I totally disavow since the Russian invasion of Ukraine....
)

« on: February 08, 2025, 0339 UTC »
0338 Fly Away- Lenny Kravitz
0339- ID which I couldn't copy because it mixed with the end of the tune...
during the beginning of the next tune, thought I heard a female saying "Captain Morgan",
but that doesn't seem right to me with this program...
0341 "Daft Punk is playing" ~ LCD Soundsystem
0344 "Are you gonna go my way" - Lenny Kravitz
0346 Recognizing a cover of "Brown-eyed Girl".... ok, Everclear, thank you shazam
0354- Another ID during a song which I could not copy, partly due to fading... sorry amigos.
Signal getting tougher with noise and fading out now. signal gone on SDR by 0358....
then some music came up strong for a moment at 0359-- can't tell if it was the same or a different station,
via the SDR graph, thought they definitely threw the switch off... but that signal faded away quickly.
0417-- OK, DEFINITE Captain Morgan Shortwave female ID, repeated three times during the music so poor John Poet could be certain of his own ears...
and coming in with very strong audio now, compared with its S-5 signal, on the Chetek WI kiwi http://22303.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/
Great reception at 0341 peaking nearly 20 over S-9 on Traverse City kiwiSDR
in the early part of this logging... fading down to nothing by 0357
http://kiwi.k8bmz.net:8073/
Captain Morgan, last time I emailed you at captainmorganshortwave@gmail.com,
I received a machine reply that said it was not deliverable---
but later received an email from you that seemed to reply to my original message...
I am confused, but sent you another email tonight anyway, and received the same initial gmail message.
0438 "Better Luck" by Floyd Lee, according to shazam.... nice peaks still!
off at 0448--- Thanks for the show tonight, oh captain, my captain!
(Captain Morgan was one of the first other pirate broadcasters I was able to hear in 2004,
when I returned to the scene after a 20-year absence-- and that was also 20 years ago, what??)

Pirate Radio History / A.C.E. Association of Clandestine Enthusiasts pirate listeners club, downloads
« on: January 29, 2025, 0740 UTC »
The Association of Clandestine Enthusiasts pirate radio listeners club, was founded by Darren Leno in 1982, partly in response to various other North American shortwave clubs who were reluctant or just outright refused to publish shortwave loggings of pirate radio stations. Starting from scratch, the club soon became the "go-to" place for pirate radio loggings and news in North America, and later was granted membership in the ANARC Association of North American Radio Clubs. The ACE had a strong membership for a niche radio club through the 1980's and 1990's (I believe their membership peaked somewhere over 1,000 members), until the growth of the internet and "instant posting" of logs there led to a steep decline of ACE membership, and finally the demise of the club in 2005. A fairly complete history of the A.C.E. appears here: https://sites.google.com/site/napiratehof/a-c-e-history?authuser=0
I had these newsletters available from my now-defunct Free Radio Cafe website, but luckily they were hosted on Dropbox so are still available.
Thought I might as well post the folder link here, as they are rather important 'pirate radio artifacts' for North American shortwave pirate radio.
They are kind of fun to read.... Also, our HFU host Chris Smolinski was a contributor and sometime columnist/editor therein over the years.
This collection includes all ACE newsletters from 1989 to 2005, by year. Start here:

Can see the signal on the SDR, and hear some music popping up through the noise at some points, but that's about it.
Trying to listen on the Maryland big loop SDR, which says about S-7 signal, but audio is rare. Pity.

Just because I am parked on THE pirate frequency waiting for a pirate to start up, hearing faint conversation in unidentified language among several operators. Language unidentified but sounds rather slavic to me, could be Russian... strength seems to be gaining as we get further past local sunset.

« on: December 25, 2024, 0101 UTC »
AGAIN strong signal and great audio on the Maryland 900-foot sky-loop SDR.
World War II type audio clearly identifies this as another WFDR broadcast,
although the exact programming may be a little different yet again.
Not sure who the current speaker is, but not FDR or Churchill... 0101
Mostly S-9 to S-10+
OK, this is a little later than December 1941--- talking about Eisenhower's successes in Africa,
and his pending promotion to command of the European Allied forces---
"Germany must be stripped of her military might,
and given no opportunity in the .... future to regain that might!" 0105
Later identified by speaker as another Christmas broadcast, but the year wasn't given-- suspect Christmas 1942 or 1943.
0120 announcement identified the foregoing speaker as 'the President of the United States',
but in this broadcast it didn't sound like FDR to me at all. Ok, whatever.
Immediately followed by station ID WFDR and off at 0121 UTC.
My salute to "WFDR"--- my kind of programming
when I wanted to vary from classic rock or modern poliltics!
LOVE IT!
Several very brief audio drop-outs around 0100.
