General Radio Discussion / May 24th: Bob Dylan's Birthday

« on: May 23, 2012, 2115 UTC »

Just an FYI:

Bob Dylan's birthday is the 24th, and I figure there might be a station or two to commemorate the occasion. No inside information here, just an educated guess on my part.

I'm not sure if that's Dr. Benway and Undercover Radio playing Laurie Anderson or not. I heard him say he was signing off about 20 minutes ago and came back to the radio to hear this around 0355

Yup, that's him. Still going strong at 0420. Thanks for the show, Doctor!

14313 is a mess. Hams have been fighting there for quite a while now. Do a google search for 14313 and Karol. That should give you an idea of what's going on there.

Just heard a clip from Radio Caroline: Music followed by a male announcer looking for advertising. Apparently they have great rates, and even better if you're local.

Good signal, but a very brief transmission. Off by 0322

I see a carrier there, and hear a slight hint of modulation, but not much else.

I hear them, but its pretty rough going tonight. Very light copy, and a lot of static. SIO 121

Starting to pick up a little on the peaks.

I heard him testing, but is that him on 6925 AM? I've got something there but its right at my noise level.

Guitar interval signal, can't identify the riff though.

I've got blues music here in Iowa on 6925 at 0105 UTC. Captain Morgan perhaps? Awful lot of static on the band tonight.

Rave On Radio ID at around 0110.

Sounds like an Allman Brothers show tonight!

First catch with my brand new Bonito RadioJet "SDR"

I've got the Who's 5:15 here in Iowa with a decent signal.
Bob Dylan, Fourth time around
Travelling Wilburys tune?

No ID heard as of yet.

SSTV transmission at the end and I have no decoder set up.

Off around 0200

Station on at 0318 with music from a female vocalist.Very loud signal here, pushing an S8 on the Drake R8 with no preamp engaged.

Undercover Radio ID with gmail address given around 0326 UTC

Jimi Hendrix music

You know, it's always good to hear Dr. Benway on the bands.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: UNID, 6925 AM, 0230 UTC

« on: May 13, 2012, 0250 UTC »

Came on around S9, audio a bit thin

0230 Clock tower chimes, 10YA - "I'd Love to Change the World"
0234 off/on a couple two tree times
0235 On big with Shinedown - 45; big time sig now at S9+15, much better audio
0239 "What we got here is failure to communicate" and off
0241 On briefly with bird chirp - was this from Radio RSA IS?

I wish I would have heard the ending of this. I remember that old RSA interval signal and would've liked to have heard it. I also remember the early 90s when that guy would come on 7415 and say nothing but 'Hello, radio!' and then disappear again.

On with chimes and music, I'd Love to Change the World, by Ten Years After.

Pretty tough copy here tonight, just above the noise. S3 on the meter.

A couple of off and ons, then back with more music Shinedown and 45. A good 2 to 3 s units stronger too.
