Really booming into Masset, BC at 04:47 UTC  playing Objects in the Mirror a-ha.  Presumptive logging.  Barely audible last night, but great tonight.  Do they QSL?   
Yep, it's them with ID ?I think, and time check in Portuguese at 04:52, and immediately back to music.  Build by the Housemartins.

Utility / 9310 USB 0538 continuous Russian national anthem

« on: February 10, 2023, 0539 UTC »

A strange one, for sure.  Continuous loop of the Russian NA heard last night, and again tonight, about the same time.  Last night went off about 06:00.  Improving over time.  Seems to be coming from Russia from what I can tell.  Wonder who might this be.  First noted a week or two ago.   73,  Walt (Masset, BC)

0232 UTC male and female conversation in Spanish S6 over the noise

No, not a conversation, but YL/OM saying the same thing, over and over again.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Zanahorias en Escabeche 6960 AM 0226 UTC 5 FEB 2023

« on: February 05, 2023, 0227 UTC »

Very strong signal in AM with some over-modulation with a loop YL and OM repeating in Spanish.  Radio Independente, Radio Libre for about a minute, then off.  Presently off.  Saw the carrier earlier, so might come back again. 
Measuring 6959.919 kHz.  Back again at 02:30:30  After the YL says, "Radio Independente, Radio Libre", she goes on and says, "Aqui Nacional.....".  Should be easy for a Spanish speaker!  Still going at 02:35 and remains very strong.
Played "El Chapo Mas Buscado (version Norteno)  by Ariel Nuno y La Nueva Generacion.    Then ID at 02:41  ("Esta es....?) and into Asunto Pendiente by Buknas De Culiacan.

Frequency is unstable.  Right now on 6959.894 kHz

Esta Es, Zanahorias en Escabeche....ie  Mexican pickled carrots, no?   Seems to me I recall the same station quite some time ago!    CW decoded as this, and the ID just now (02:54) sure sounded like this!

Now multiple IDs again for same at 03:01.  For those out east, try my KiwiSDR at Haida.DXer.ca for a great signal!

La Talla (En Vivo)  by Alamenos De La Sierra to 03:04, then YL ID, and back to Mexican music.

My guess would be B Side Radio testing.

Right, Lucas.  I figured likely him.  So much for QSLs, though!  73!

Very good reception into Masset, with Always on my Mind, by Loverboy at 03:51.  An unusual frequency selection, but it's working well! 
And off after this song at 03:55 UTC.  Whoever you were, many thanks!

0232 UTC Unid jazz rock tune-OM singer (S7 peaks with light fading...excellent audio)
0237 UTC Unid blues rock tune-OM singer....lyrics "Never Miss Your Water"
0300 UTC Easypal DRM xmsn now, but it didn't hit on the MSC green
0306 UTC Possible ID with autotuned OM voice?
0312 UTC Another Easypal DRM xmsn but no joy on the decode (How about an SSTV?) 
0313 UTC Definitely an ID...? Radio (Will listen back on the recording to get it right!)
0318 UTC ID again...(still hitting S7 here!)
0326 UTC Scottie 2 SSTV (Thanks!), then off


Funny, but I listened at 03:12 and 03:13.  I can (now) hear the EasyPal digital (thought it was just noise), but at 03:13, I didn't hear any ID!  Just straight into music....Walt

Thanks for the killer blues rock tunes Mr Sycko! Awesome slide guitar on some of those tunes! 
Here's my recording of the show:

Fair to good into Masset at 03:10 UTC tune-in with Blues music.  Just a little stronger than 6930U at the same time..
After 6930U signed off, back to this station. 
Noted Jack O' Diamonds, by Cory Harris at 03:21 UTC
Very weak SSTV image at 03:29, then off.  Thanks for the broadcast!  PSE QSL.
