North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Radio Free Whatever 6945 AM - 0000z Oct 4, 2013

« on: October 04, 2013, 0018 UTC »

Strong carrier and fair modulation and audio.  Playing Metallica song @ 0008z
Fair carrier and weak audio on 6945, not the same programming on the 2 freq's, but heard RFW ID's on both frequencies.
Some moderate static crashes here this evening.  6975 may be building in strength a little.

Just above the noise here with 'Locomotive Breath'.  Some pesc QRM makes tough copy at times.
Now into another Jethro Tull song @0114z.  Sounds like it could be good audio if the signal was a little stronger.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: No R Australia on 9580 October 2, 2013 1147Z

R. Australia was very weak here as well @ 1030z, so I checked the space wx and saw the K index was 5.  Absorption over the poles was maxed out, but R.A. is not a polar path for me so I was surprised it was affected so much.
