North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Free Whatever, 6925 AM, 0430z, 1-15-14

« on: January 15, 2014, 0433 UTC »

Big signal at sign-on around 0425z. S8 with nice quality AM audio. 43444. Intro chatter about shortwave, T-shirts, then into Queens of the Stone Age.

Signal quickly dropped to S1-S5 and frequent fades at 0438z. Intermittent QRM hash near me is S7 and killing the signal too.

Received this email confirmation for last night's broadcast. Sounds like more formal QSL's are in the works.

Confirming reception of Radio Plate Current on 1/1/14 7:38Z 6925 KHz AM
Powered by Eimac. Big pipe vertical and power between 100 and 1000 watts somewhere in the X time zone.

I'm choosing to leave out the time zone for now.

Thanks RPC

Pretty sure this is Midwest pirate W807 coming through this morning with Carol Kings "It's Too Late" at 1630z. Bad MW antenna and local RFI not helping.
