North American Shortwave Pirate / Random Radio, 6925am, 10-24-12, 0210z
« on: October 24, 2012, 0223 UTC »
Came on around 0210z with some information about logging or QSL'ing. Just above the noise level (S6/S4).
Robert Random speaking. Into "Spirit in the Sky" at 0218z. Sounded like a comedy bit for Reverend Al Radio as part of the show. Audio was kind of tough to pull out against the noise.

Random Radio ID at 0223z.
off at 0225z

North American Shortwave Pirate / 6925 USB - Rave On Radio
« on: August 15, 2012, 0156 UTC »
 Station came on at 0135z with a bluegrass song, then promptly faded until 0155z when the signal improved
enough to hear David Bowie's "Life on Mars", back into bluegrass at 0156z.

Rave On Radio ID at 0200z

"til the generator runs out of gas" - must've ran out - off after the ID.

Thanks ROR.

General Radio Discussion / Recognize this noise?
« on: February 09, 2012, 0315 UTC »
I've had a fairly continuous noise that I've been hearing for several months now. It's broadbanded enough to be hear as low as 80m and as high as 20m. The signal strength can vary day by day and also by frequency, generally higher strength with higher frequency. It's continuous. I've not had a situation where I've been listening and its disappeared. 

There are some power poles near me that have forever been on the repair schedule due to a noise complaint I provided to the power company a long while back. However, that noise source is very different sounding than this one. It’s much more of a classic 60 Hz buzz whereas this one is much more, err "bassy" sounding.

I've not been able to hear it in my car and I've not yet been out hunting with my R30CC in portable mode. I guess I keep hoping the power company will repair the poles and I kill two birds with one stone. It’s there when the radio is run on batteries, so I’m confident it’s coming in on the external antenna.

I've recorded it and I wonder if any others have heard this and identified it? Joe Farley was nice enough to take a look at it on a scope and he commented that it definitely has 60 Hz content in it.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Undercover Radio, 1720.0 am, 1-3-12, SINPO 25341
Nice to hear Dr. Benway again on MW. A little stronger tonight, but still
fighting my static.

Benway's story telling interspersed with music makes for great pirate radio.
Sounds like a 2007 show being redone with a few live feeds.

off at 0233z - just caught the end....

A nice S8 signal with medium fade. Not sure if it's my end, but the audio level seems a bit low.
Multiple ID's since sign-on at 1932z.

2057z - end of show. Audio level sounded good at the end.

Happy New Year WFMT
