Peskies / Brazilian Peskies Playing Music 6919 LSB 2151 UTC 10 DEC 2022

« on: December 10, 2022, 2157 UTC »

S9 with the PY2-81502 KiwiSDR in Brazil. Occasional QRM from CW (not on the frequency, an amateur operates near this KiwiSDR and overloads it at times).

2151 UTC-Brief bit of pop/techno music, not sure how long it was playing before I tuned in
2152 UTC-Now a QSO in Portuguese, might be talking about the music
2156 UTC-About 10 seconds of the same kind of music
2156 UTC-QSO again
2158 UTC-Don't You Want Me by The Human League (played for about a minute)
2159 UTC-QSO again, mentions of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin
2203 UTC-Very distorted music, other people still talking (played for about 30 seconds)
2205 UTC-Don't You Want Me by The Human League mixed with noise, then the noise disappeared and later came back
2207 UTC-Now the same song mixing with Crazy Frog
2208 UTC-She Drives Me Crazy by Fine Young Cannibals, no Crazy Frog
2209 UTC-Crazy Frog now mixing with the other song
2210 UTC-Both songs briefly gone and a QSO then back to Crazy Frog, another station commenting on it

2222 UTC-Jammer briefly gone, then back to Crazy Frog
2237 UTC-QSO over
2238 UTC-Jammer now disturbing 6933 LSB

It appears the distorted Crazy Frog song is a jammer, and the other music is stations playing music for each other to listen to.

General Radio Discussion / Active Shortwave Pirates (North America) November 2022

« on: December 09, 2022, 0604 UTC »

This is a list I have compiled based on loggings here on the HFU. It shows all the North American shortwave pirates heard in the month of November 2022. Note that many stations use multiple names so determining the number of actual transmitters in use is impossible. Some stations are also active so infrequently that they may not have been logged this month but may broadcast in the future. Stations are listed alphabetically and show the station name followed by the number of loggings in November 2022. The most active station (other than UNID with 92) was WOW (the Hawaiian Numbers Station) with 14 broadcasts.

Zoidberg Radio 1

Note on WLIS: This is the station recently heard on 7000 LSB playing vintage interval signals and sending CW that says "VVV DE WLIS". The "DE" is used in CW ham radio, and the message means "VVV this is WLIS". I have no idea what VVV means, but it is not an ID.

Note on Zeeky: He made a broadcast in December claiming to have not been on air for "months". If true, this puts the number of loggings of his station at 0. There is also a Zeeky imitator pretending to be him, making counting loggings of Zeeky difficult.
