European MW Pirate Radio / UNID (RU) 1690v AM 0522 UTC 28 NOV 2022

« on: November 28, 2022, 0526 UTC »

S7 with the Tambov, Russia KiwiSDR. QRM from other stations.

0522 UTC-Man singing and playing guitar, sounds like a home recording or the station operator
0523 UTC-Long talk in Russian by a man (not the operator?)
0524 UTC-Next song in the same style
0528 UTC-Talking in Russian (not the operator?)
0529 UTC-Next song in the same style
0531 UTC-A professionally recorded song
0532 UTC-Talking in Russian (not the operator?)
0534 UTC-Back to the original style of music
0536 UTC-Talking in Russian (not the operator?)
0537 UTC-Next song in the same style
0540 UTC-Signal getting very weak, it is daylight in Tambov now
0541 UTC-Signal back up (of course, right after I stop the recorder), continuing with the same format

I always like hearing these stations playing this kind of music, the amateur recordings. I know many of the Russian “Organ Grinder” pirates in the past (USSR) would play their own guitar and sing on their station. It seems sometimes they still do! After listening to a few songs from this station, it seems it is not the operator playing the songs himself (although I have heard that before). Maybe Magnitizdat recordings?

North American MW Pirate Radio / StationID 1720 AM 1900 UTC 1 JAN 2023 (Please use that format for subject)

« on: November 25, 2022, 1627 UTC »

Please use this format for subject:

1. Station name (or UNID). You may add (tent.) if the name is an assumption.

2. Frequency in kHz (rounded at the next kHz if well within +- 0.2 kHz from the kHz).
Rounded kHz are easier to read. Put the exact frequency with offset in the text if needed.

3. Mode (AM, USB, or LSB...)

4. UTC time in 24h HHMM format (then ' UTC')

5. Date (1 or 2 figures), month in 3 letters, year in 4 figures

That will be compatible with the format in the North American Shortwave Pirate forum (and others).

Thanks for all to use that format, it's not perfect, but easy to read.

Remember: the subject can be edited later (particularly after a merging), so it's better to copy your tune-in time at the beginning of your text. Do so also with the exact frequency if you can get it. In the subject line, a rounded frequency is more legible, and also independent from minor drifting. Any frequency if well within 0.2 kHz offset is better to be rounded in the subject line, then the exact frequency is better at the first line of your report.

To newcomers:
You can modify your own postings. Don't post new replies just to add further details to your reports.
But post a new reply if you suspect a change of station, or after a break of some length.
