North American Shortwave Pirate / Outhouse Radio 6925 USB 0425 UTC 11 May 2025

« on: May 11, 2025, 0428 UTC »

Tuned in at 0425 to hear a lot of static, but with music playing.   Take away the static, and reception would be quite good into Masset, BC.  Still, it's only approaching LSS now. 
0427   Sweet Home Alabama by Lynyrd Skynyrd
0432  N.I.B by Black Sabbath
....
0452  Pigs (Three Different Ones) by Pink Floyd
0456  Hold Your Head Up by Argent                     The music of my youth!  Too bad reception wasn't a bit better into Masset tonight.
.....
0515 dead air for a bit, so I thought they were gone, but then back again.  Unfortunately, the static is getting much worse.
.....
Still going strong at 0557 with The Confessor, by Joe Walsh
0606   Finally, an ID (just at the same moment, digital hash), but it's Outhouse Radio.  Op wasn't sure how much longer he'd continue.   Thanks for the program tonight!  Much improved during the last hour or so. 
0607  Hallowed Be My Name by HammerFall
0617   Looks like that's it for the night.  Thanks again!

Excellent reception at 04:09 tune-in, if it's the same pirate with an extreme anti-Trumpf diatribe and critique of Americans who elected the "orange-faced monstrocity". 
  Music, then 04:12:   Republicans have been in-breeding with the lunatic fringe....
  04:13:   Radio Canada International ID  (historic).   Then, "Let's be clear, Putin started this war"...
  04:14   We Didn't Start the Fire by Billy Joel
  04:21   Revolution by the Beatles
  04:23  Europe has to back Ukraine 100%
  04:24  Old RCI commercial, then the need for boots on the ground from Europe in Ukraine.
  04:25  Land of Confusion (2007 Remaster) by Genesis
  04:40 After, 'Radio Canada International, making friends around the world",  off.   Please QSL  (and I support every word that was said).

There's a persistent digital hash between 7475.5 and about 7478 kHz ruining AM listening, but perfectly fine using LSB with very good reception into Masset BC tonight.  Still on at 05:47...very late for Josiah.
Off with the usual, "I love you" at 05:54:00.

Good strong signal noticed at 03:15 UTC into Masset
Playing Sexy Eyes (Extended Album Version) by Whigfield
Off course, off a few minutes later, so perhaps a disgruntled ham op?
But back again when I checked just now (03:23), but off again.  Transmitter problem or just goofing around?

Poor, but clearly Spanish programming.  I did note the song, "Rocket Man" at about 03:20, then continuous talk.  Parallel to a Chilean kiwiSDR with mentions of Santiago, temperatures, etc.  Not sure of the name or contact information for this station, but tonight was the first time I've been able to actually hear audio from them.  I've seen the carrier previously.   I'm located 100 km off the NW coast of BC Canada.

Very good reception into Masset.  I don’t recall this particular program. USA practices the most vile Christianity.  Homos in the US military.  Satanic symbols on US currency, etc.  Where’s B-Side Radio when you need him?

Strong reception into Masset, BC with old programming about the 10 commandments.  Now at # 5. 
RTTY-like transmission on 7476 noticed at 02:52 UTC, so using SAM with SAL mode.  Still very strong reception at 02:53.
Off at 03:32 UTC tonight.  Remained strong throughout the broadcast, which is unusual.

Op has fixed something, as his modulation is MUCH stronger tonight compared to the past.  Very strong into Masset, BC tonight.  Still same tinny audio, though, but much easier to follow.

Nice reception into Masset, BC at 01:27 UTC 17 November 2023 with rapid fire Spanish.  Possibly a play by play football match?

After WLR signed off at 02:29 UTC, someone else (?) has come on frequency.
02:40 playing Setting Sun by BLP Brian Lucas Project
Off for a minute or so, then back at 02:46:15 with some pretty fancy guitar work, not identifiable by Shazam.  Off again at 02:49:40.
