Michael Jackson, Spandau Ballet, Irene Cara.
Guessing it's an recording of Laser Hot Hits (1985ish) from the DJs accent.
From UK or NL???

Fair signal on car radio with some fades into obscurity.

Mad Miles Johnson on the pirate station that broadcast from the Republic of Ireland into Northern Ireland (UK) in 1988. Briefly was 1.2 MW on FM. I had many connections with the station.

Part 15 AM and FM Station Operation / Helical antenna
« on: December 31, 2020, 1422 UTC »
Not strictly part 15 but I can't think of a better place to put this question. I'm thinking of constructing an antenna similar to a Valcom helical antenna for MW. I can get a fiberglass pole from Spiderbeam.https://www.spiderbeam.com/index.php?cat=c2_Fiberglass%20Poles.html&XTCsid=a2ffd96b7e87e34e64b1c65f54310ffb They come in various lengths but I think 18mt (60 feet) is about the max I can handle (financially and physically).
Has anybody here had experience in constructing these type of aerials? Any tips appreciated.

Oh,  a happy new year to all here.  :)

European Pirates and Private Stations / Vertical/Horizontal/Groundwave/DF 12 June 2020
« on: June 12, 2020, 1928 UTC »
Unlikely to be a vertical antenna at that frequency. I agree about the power level, I guess lower than 100 watts. On again tonight.


edit by Ray : this was about Unid 3400 heard again
