North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Burn It Down Radio 6945 USB 12/15 0028+

I caught Silver Bells and then an ID that wasn't totally intelligible for me here, and then they signed off it looks like. Good strong s9 signal into Houston. Lots of noise here though.

I saw a post you made there. I guess since it's a general SWL group, they all have their own interests and don't dig what you do. I, for one, like it all, so keep it up.
It's no different in the ham groups on FB. Mention a mode that someone doesn't like, a brand of radio, hell, personal favorite frequency or band you like to operate on, and someone will come talking trash. I just scroll on past.

It's really faint and deep down in the noise here in SE Texas. But whatever it is, I hear it.

Just tuned in. Blowtorch into Houston tonight.
Hearing HFU shout outs and into Bad Religion
Here's a recording. This is off of a Sangean ATS-909X and the whip antenna.
Really excellent signal.

Just in case you want an actual translation, here's one I did. No mention of confirmation of reception though. (Date, time, etc.), but still pretty damn cool.

Really great signal into east TX tonight. S9. Clear audio.
Just heard an ID and notice that the station will begin in 3 minutes, followed by some notes on the broadcast mode.
0040 - XFM is now on the air. Montage of clips with Massive Attack's "Angel" backing.
0043 - London Calling by The Clash
Commentary and announcements about heavy music for Halloween, email and phone number given out.
0048 - Stone Sour
0054 - Rob Zombie
Signal has totally dropped out on me here. It literally went from blowtorch to blown out birthday candle in a matter of seconds. Still listening,w aiting for it to come back up.

Lots of qrm tonight but fair signal at times. Qsb made it hard to tune, but as soon as I got it, I heard an ID at 0222.

Excellent audio with very little static here into Houston.
Heard some Cab Calloway while getting dinner cleaned up.
0200 - Hendrix - The Wind Cries Mary
0221 - ID and into more music.
Thanks for the show!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: WDDR 6950 USB at 0034 UTC, 7/8/15
« on: July 08, 2015, 0213 UTC »
Just managed to sit down for the night and do some listening, and I catch She's Gone by Hall and Oates coming in a little quiet but still very readable into Houston, TX.
Another song I didn't recognize after that, and then an announcement and ID around 0209 or so, and into more music. Really good signal, great audio here. Thanks for the show, WDDR!
0220 Cheap Sunglasses - ZZ Top (must be by request, above)
0222 - Announcements regarding requests and ID
0231 - Shout out to yours truly. Thanks!
I'd like to hear some Zappa if at all possible.
0241 - Montana by FZ (One of my all time favorites!) May your zircon encrusted tweezers never dull, sir!
0258 - Crowded House
0312 - Zeppelin - Gallows Pole
Caught some SSTV at the end. Not too shabby for an ATS-909X on the stock telescoping whip, indoors, with an android phone on the speaker:

Caught the sign on with music and ID, which was just barely intelligible here in Houston.

Decent signal here, with old time music, piano and female vocals, some horns too.
S3-S4
0157 - Blue Moon. Signal improving!

Same here. I'm hearing beeps, some of which may make a letter here or there. Lots of noise, but readable beeps here in Houston.
