Music followed by an announcer discussing a future stock market crash and the end of the world that follows. Not very strong here with a lot of QSB. No ID heard as of yet.

Maybe Radio 2012 International?

Heard Cat Stevens Wild World, I'd Love to Change the World by Ten Years After, and That's the Way of the World by Earth, Wind, and Fire. They're holding my meter at a solid 15 over 9, and peaking at 20 over.

SIO 555.

I have a very poor copy on them here in Central Iowa around 2350. Managed to make out Jingle Bell Rock and Bing Crosby's White Christmas. SIO 221

They're coming in at about a 57 here in the cornfields of Iowa as well. Playing Blood, Sweat, and tears (?) version of 'God Bless the Child' right now.

I have Radio Gaga with Styx's The Grand Illusion and the Surfari's Wipe Out. Bud Light 'Real Men of Genius' commercial on now. Pretender's Back on the Chain Gang.

SIO 434. Good signal with some QSB.

I have another station underneath them, but I can't make much of it out.

It sounds like four words on some kind of loop repeating over and over again. I can't make out a word of it or identify the language. Now it sounds like a numbers broadcast of some kind.

EDIT: Must have caught this numbers station just as it was signing on. repeated the same phrase for a few minutes before beginning actual numbers transmission. Off around 0415.

Wolverine Radio is big and loud here in Central Iowa, coming in at about 10 over 9 with no preamp. SIO 555.  

Here's a run down of what I heard, with some titles being my best guess:

Come Here and Give me a Kiss
Kiss the Boys Goodbye
No idea...
Kisses Sweeter than Wine
Til I Kissed Ya - Everley Brothers
And then He Kissed Me
It's In His Kiss
Not sure the name of the song, but its the Shangri-Las.
Kiss Him Goodbye - Steam
Joni Mitchell song...
No idea... but I think the songs are going in chronological order though from older to recent.
Kiss is On My List - Hall & Oates
Kiss It goodbye by... Bananarama? I do not remember this one at all.
Kiss - Prince
Every Little Kiss - Bruce Hornsby and the Range
French Kissin in the USA - Deborah Harry
Kiss and Tell - Bryan Ferry
No idea. I like it, but I don't know what it is.

SSTV signal follows, but I can't decode it.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Family Radio (?) 6924.6

« on: November 27, 2011, 0022 UTC »

I think its part of WMFP Radio. They're VERY strong here, coming in at about 10 over 9, but the signal cuts out from time to time. Transmitter issue?

Thanks for the heads up. Turns out it was part of an NRS broadcast, which is now playing The Crystal Ship. Sounds like their transmitter might have a slight drift.
