Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissible in your locale.
Presumed, with EDM. SINPO 34333 / S7-S8 on an SDR in Texas. Must have just signed on since I just checked that area of the waterfall a few minutes beforehand and saw nothing.
0116 - ID, into next EDM track.
0140 - I have to check out. Good night.
Also, to pile on here, that is the wrong time of day for propagation from China to North America on 43 meters. All of China is in full daylight at that time.

« on: October 23, 2024, 1755 UTC »M95 doesn't seem to appear on 6937 and M95 doesn't send the same series of numbers over and over. Why does anyone think this is M95?

Just signed on around the top of the hour. SINPO 34233 / S7 on an SDR in Texas. There seems to be a plague of local buzzy electrical noise afflicting all the SDRs in the area of Texas tonight.
0107 - "This is Liquid Radio". The Jesus and Mary Chain, I think? (I should know this one but...)
0109 - Tori Amos
0116 - Hum, "Stars".
0122 - Harvey Danger, "Flagpole Sitta".
0125 - The Primitives, "Crash".
0129 - Butthole Surfers, "Pepper".
0139 - I have to go. Good night.

Caught the sign on. The op is seemingly playing with audio levels for the first few minutes.
SINPO 33333 / S8 +/- 1 on an SDR in Texas at sign on but it's early; it should improve as the night goes on.
0048 - EDM. E-Zee Possee & MC Kinky, "Everything Starts With an E"
0058 - ID. Into next song and within a few seconds the transmitter dropped out for a few seconds but resumed.
0109 - Romeo Void, "Never Say Never"
0126 - Interlude male riffing about "ain't got no scrub".
0131 - Shriekback, "Nemesis"
0140 - Wall of Voodoo, "Mexican Radio"
Recording: https://voca.ro/1g7LXvqLMYyd
0145 - Simple Minds, "Alive And Kicking"
0149 - "Find us online at liquidradioonline dot com". Still more noise than previous nights this week at this point.
0150 - Book Of Love, "Pretty Boys And Pretty Girls"
Recording: https://voca.ro/1mdQ1jLSlvVd
0202 - Gary Numan, "Cars"
0207 - Love And Rockets, "So Alive"
0215 - I have to turn this stuff off. Good night.

Very weak on an SDR in Texas. I can tell that there is music but that's about all.

If they got together with the Hawaiian numbers station, I suppose the end result would just be exclusively pineapple and ham.

0104 - Liquid Radio ID
0110 - Listenable SINPO 33233 on the San Juan del Rio kiwi SDR northwest of Mexico City with a long wire antenna. Similar on the Northern Utah kiwi.
0117 - Continuous EDM so far.

0148 - I have to switch off. Good night.
To the station op: email to you last night bounced. You can write to me at the address in my signature below.

SINPO 43343 on an SDR in Texas. I've been listening since around 0120 so I figured that I would note it here.
0135 - Eurythmics
0139 - Bryan Ferry, "Kiss and Tell"
0148 - ID, into Sade?
0151 - Reception is very good now. Revising to SINPO 54444.
0155 - Peter Schilling, "Major Tom"
0200 - Peter Murphy, "Cuts You Up"
0205 - The DJ is doing a continuous 1980s run: Talk Talk, "Life's What You Make It"
0212 - Eight Seconds, Kiss You (When It's Dangerous)
0220 - Modulation seems reasonable to me. I like to see ~20 to 30 dB between the carrier and the sidebands during music programming, so the max level is pretty good. Could it be louder? Yes. I suppose they could use some (more) compression, maybe.
0235 - The Cure, "Close to Me". Signal is starting to fade at the SDR.
0238 - The Human League, "Love Action (I Believe in Love)"
0243 - The Psychedelic Furs, "Love My Way"
0247 - Thompson Twins, "Lay Your Hands On Me"
0250 - The Fixx, "Red Skies"
0255 - Personal message to me. I will send you an email later.
This is what SWL reception reports used to look like back in the day! (Minus the spectrum analyzer plot)
0259 - Low voice modulation (nothing recognizable) and some RF feedback squealing.
0300 - Carrier off.

Got it on an SDR in Texas.
0126 - S9 / SINPO 44334.
0130 - Confirmed "Liquid Radio". Typical ID with voice snippets. Into a techno tune, "Infection"?
0133 - ID. Adam Freeland, "We Want Your Soul" - TNX for the song ID myteaquinn
0156 - ID. "...Find us online at liquiradioonline.com". More EDM.
0233 - I'm switching off. Good night.

This sounds like the station that has been on 6970 or 6974.9 (must be using a Stretchy TX 
) episodically off and on (mostly off) over the past few years, for several days or weeks at a time, daily or close to it. In the last few "episodes" of activity there has generally not been an ID given. I think two or three years ago there was an ID of something like "Nowhere Radio" given out a couple times.
Listening on an east coast SDR. Usual SINPO of 34333.
0042: Depeche Mode, "Personal Jesus"
0053: male voice, possibly from streaming advertisements, "There's a rhythm in the market..." then into the next techno-ish song. Peskies on 6975 LSB bleeding into this station's USB.
0107: more advert dialog, into the next song.
0119: Carrier off

Carrier is strongest in the west. (0132 UTC)
0132 - S9+10 on the Northern Utah kiwi SDR at the moment
0133 - Immediate step down in signal strength ~-10 dB. Turned off your amp?
0134 - Carrier off

Heard the ID at tune in then into EDM. SINPO 32243 on an SDR in New England. Modulation could be louder. Stronger in the midwest than the east coast, I think.
0139 - ID. "Welcome to Texas. (something something) you get a free gun."
0158 - ID then Romeo Void, "Never Say Never". SINPO 34333 on the W0AY kiwi SDR in Montana.
0203 - "(something something) This is Liquid Radio."
0210 - Movie dialog: "(somebody) has a warped sense of humor. I bet he smokes weed." then ID and next song.
0214 - Tori Amos, "Cornflake Girl".
0226 - Filter, "Hey Man, Nice Shot".
0230 - Fake advert for farmersonly.com.
0235 - The signal faded but sounded like this: "Find us online at liquidradioonline"
0255 - Carrier off

22 Meter Band HiFER Beacons / 7P Heard 1900 UTC 18 SEP 2024
« on: September 19, 2024, 0022 UTC »
Heard 7P from Arizona loud and clear on the KFS kiwi SDR in Half Moon Bay, California at 1900 UTC on 18 September 2024.
The LWCA beacon list indicates that it should be on 13555.47 KHz, but I found it on 13555.59 KHz.
My initial assesment that the list was 500 Hz off was found to be due to the fact that apparently the frequency readout of a kiwi is 380 Hz high when zerobeat in CW mode [but not in AM, LSB or USB].
