Very drifty carrier around 6925.2 kHz. S7 with the K3FEF KiwiSDR but very weak audio. First noticed around 2310 UTC but went off around 2315 UTC so I didn’t post. No idea when it came back on.

Broadcast Announcements / The Pacman Show via Radio Jong Europa 6130 AM 1700 UTC 18 Sep 2022

« on: September 16, 2022, 1416 UTC »

I received this email from Radio Jong Europa today:
If you read this mail 16-9-2022 next Sunday 18-9-2022 at 17:00 Dutch time. 15:00 UTC time we are going to try something
a very good acquaintance of ours Henk made a program sorry unfortunately in Dutch partly maybe in English
This one is called the packman show it is parts from the years of the old ship channels when there were many ships in the waters making programs
The packman show lasts 1 hour and so we want to see if it is to the taste.
Henk is a very old good acquaintance of ours and so we want to give this old program maker a chance to make himself heard for an hour
So if you listen Sunday 17:00 Dutch time and that is 15:00 UTC time
mvgr Radio Europe

« on: September 16, 2022, 0213 UTC »

Exact frequency is 5025.02 kHz with some slight drift. S7 with the Caribbean Netherlands KiwiSDR. Only audible because Radio Rebelde from Cuba on the same frequency has been off air recently. I meant to check earlier and forgot but I will tomorrow. I suggest that anyone who wants to hear this rarely heard Peruvian do so sooner rather than later.

0204 UTC-Talk over music, off about 30 seconds after tune in

Latin American Pirate / Radio Compañía Worldwide (tent.) 6925 AM 2340 UTC 14 Sep 2022

« on: September 14, 2022, 2342 UTC »

Only a carrier on the KiwiSDR in Chile, some audio on the LU4AA KiwiSDR in Argentina, weaker audio on the PY2-81502 KiwiSDR in Brazil. Very weak carrier on KiwiSDR’s in the Eastern USA. Best (S9 but still poor audio) on the PY2GN KiwiSDR in Brazil. Seemed strongest in Chile but the only KiwiSDR there suffers horrible QRM so I couldn’t hear any audio but the carrier was strong.

2340 UTC-Sounds like a sports relay, reminds me of RCW but not announced on their Facebook page. Not the same as yesterday because that one was not audible in Chile. Only know pirate from Chile (where the signal is strongest) and the programming sounds like them so it probably is.

Extremely weak carrier on many Eastern USA KiwiSDR’s but I can’t find any with even a trace of audio.

0147 UTC-Audible on the PY2-81502 KiwiSDR in Brazil! S3 and weak there. A Brazilian pirate being heard in North America!
0147 UTC-Unknown Music, too weak
0157 UTC-More Brazilian music, up to S5 at peaks now
0212 UTC-Still there but a very poor signal now
0247 UTC-GONE
