Good vibrations came in very well into Masset.  Prior to that, dead air, and prior to that he played Oh Canada (and not the Star Spangled Banner), or was I imagining things?

"You're listening to,...." at 00:27 UTC into Masset   Fair strength without any QRM. 
ID again at 00:45 (with reverb)  "You're listening to 77 Lima Juliet Sierra", followed by an oldies Anacin commercial. 
Off at 00:51 UTC    Thanks for the interesting show!

Very strong reception into Masset, BC but modulation seems off.  Generally low, and harsh to my ears.
03:00  Set You Free (Cryo Edit) by Fiction 8
03:04  Machine voice about transmitter having technical problems.  "Please write" or something like that.
03:05  Operating Tracks by Front 242  Noted a few very brief transmitter breaks.

Came on shortly after 02:05 UTC at good to very good level into Masset, BC
Tonight was a very busy pirate evening our way!!! 
"WTF Radio Worldwide" jingle at 03:15 just before signing off, and what I assume is their IS repeated several times, then off at 03:17, but with someone saying, "oh common now.  Don't stop now" a few seconds later!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: UNID 6935 AM 0326 UTC 11 FEB 2024 TRANCE

« on: February 11, 2024, 0347 UTC »

Fair to good reception but cochannel LSB pescadore fishermen ruining reception.  Lots of heavy beats which Shazam and AHA are having difficulty with.  Finally at 03:46, Shazam IDs as:  It's Up To You (dumonde rmx) by Rank 1
Frequency measures 6934.967    Should this be AD149???
It's Up To You (Symsonic) (Dumonde Remix Edit) by Rank 1 at 03:49
04:00:  I just received an email stating that it's TRANCE and that a QSL will be on it's way.  THANK YOU! 

05:31:  Still going and a little better now into Masset without the Spanish fishermen cochannel!  Poor to fair at the moment, with same genre music as earlier in the evening.  By the way, many thanks for the eQSL.  Much appreciated!!!

Good reception already into Masset, BC from 00:59 UTC tune-in.  Almost an hour until local sunset here. 
Was that a, "Whatever" at 01:01:50?
Off at 01:32 at very nice level!

Strong but with perhaps transmitter problems at 05:22 UTC.  Big band type music, but then dead air (or perhaps someone very weakly heard still)?   
God Save the King at 05:25.  Then Drink in My Hand, by Eric Church.  Clearly he's playing with power or antennas, as initially quite weak, then suddenly much improved to very good level.  Then down again at 05:27:25 to fair level.  Then at 05:29, back to very good reception with Margaritaville, by Jimmy Buffett.
Thought he had signed off for the evening at 05:40 with a prolonged dead air, but came back just now with Wagon Wheel
DJ did give an ID of sorts, "Broadcasting to North America", but I didn't get anything else, if there was more.
Continues at 05:59 UTC with a really nice selection of music!
