North American Shortwave Pirate / Sternradio 6965 AM 1942 UTC 27 June 2025

Found them at 1942 with Pop music and stout signal, 40 dB above the noise, that quickly deteriorated to about 20 dB above the noise. 17,000 Hertz bandwidth

Via a recording. A faint transmission of what I first thought was a sermon, but then seemed to be more a political talk. The list of subjects was broad--South America, WW III (three), slaying dragons, unstated things that were not normal, and other things.
0112 a program in progress, I think it came up out of the murk with talk by an OM
0114 South America
0115 35343
0118 WW III
0122 slaying dragons
25342
0122 a YL joins the mix
0125 unusable
0129 repeating phrases by OM and YL, unusable
0131 a different OM talked.
0132 nothing heard--done or faded?
0134 ditto

1519 program in progress with really Hard Rock music.
1524 Waterfall ID, with image, "STERNRADIO IN STEREO"
1527 Carrier gone.
35342. The signal strength was okay, 35 dB over the noise, but the noise was strong.

Via a recording. Started at 0503 and was gone at 0522. All music, all by one group of men. Sounded very much like the Beatles. 35453 in Wyomissing. 3200 Hertz sounded best. I never heard other than the music. Middle of the road Pop music.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Free State Rule 6925 USB 1342 15 Feb 2025
« on: February 16, 2025, 0150 UTC »
Via a recording, the program opened with "one-two-three-four" and then Hard Rock for 2 minutes when an OM said, "Radio Free State Rule." There was some chatter and the sound of instruments being tuned-up and the same OM said, "We call out," and they were gone. 35343 in Wyomissing. In the last 6 minutes of a recording, so maybe more later.

Via a recording, waiting for Outhouse Radio to start.
Suddenly, an OM was talking and then conducting an over-the-telephone interview with another OM. Political. Something about Obama and Afghanistan.
And it was gone, mid-phrase, at 1226.
Just usable.

1514 A program in progress, playing "Roundabout." Only 23 dB above the background noise, so just usable. Faded to "unusable" at 1516. The carrier disappeared at 1519.

Via a recording. A drum beating at 0000, then The Outer Limits opening sequence and a bit of instrumental music that ended abruptly at 0003. And all was quiet.
The Elad's noise blanker dug it out of the local, late afternoon, broad band noise. Whodathought?
Ron
Sorry, I switched time zones. "0000" was UTC. "late afternoon" was subjective, sitting at my desk looking out the window at EST.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Cold Country Canada 6968.92 LSB 0346 UTC 11 SEP 2024
« on: September 11, 2024, 1319 UTC »
Via a recording with many, many playbacks trying to tune it in.
ZZ Top started playing at 0346, then an ID by an OM at 0349 and three similar waterfall images at 0350. And it was gone.
35452. Why "2"? Because even tuning down to 0.001, it was never quite tuned-in. I think that the broadcast had some inherent distortion.
No idea what the images were. A flower, maybe? A bug? A stylized balloon?

Via a recording, an anti-Trump/Vance broadcast. IDs at 0144 and just before their 0151 sign-off. 35343 in Wyomissing. 4000 Hz fit best. Parody song "Walz is Our Man" to the tune of "Walk Like a Man."

Not a peep or a sighting here on 6880, 6935, or 7000, +/- 20 minutes around 0400 UTC. The storm? Too close (42 1/2 miles)? Too far (42 1/2 miles)?
Bummer!

Via a recording. The broadcast began about 20 seconds after the hour with a rock tune, then a YL thanked Cloudsplitter Radio for relaying Wild Mountain Radio. Then another Rock tune. The broadcast ended at 0007, mid song. 35453.

1200 program in progress.
two men discussing socialism and national socialism; an interview.
about 35 dB above the noise--35443. 3600 Hz audio bandwidth seemed right.
1207 BC ended in the middle of the discussion.
