Audible here but not well enough to make out op talk & radio stuff. The music was quite clear & audible though.
Signal down to 6922.82 by the end. I'm glad I got to hear this. I've missed all other broadcasts. Good stuff. Thanks for brightening up my Sunday morning.

Spy Numbers / Re: HM01 (?) 6 Nov 2013

« on: November 09, 2013, 1622 UTC »

HM01 is the only number station that does the voice/digital thing so its likely them. The broadcast station on frequency is WBCQ in Maine. I've found them battling it out with each other many times & the Cuban spies usually come out on top from here.
Congrats on the new setup.

Clandestine Stations / Radio Dabanga 15535khz 15:40 UTC 11/9/2013

« on: November 09, 2013, 1547 UTC »

Radio Dabanga with excellent signal being somewhat jammed by Radio Cairo's "spurious fence". At least I think its Cairo that is putting out spurs above & below 15535. R. Dabanga is from Santa Maria Galeria at this hour. Checking various remotes finds the spurs much stronger in Europe. Not so bad here in central US.

15:47z  multiple Radio Dabanga ID's including that catchy little musical ID that really makes me laugh for some reason.

16:11z  Radio Dabanga still has het from 1khz above & below 15535 but Cairo is no longer on air (according to SW Skeds). Maybe the spurs are a jammer as Dabanga is a jamming target of the Sudanese gov't (GH often reports presumed jamming on Dabanga). Also possible that the spurs are from the Vatican/SMG transmitter.

About S5 & up to S9. Lots 'o' static here.  1:41z  (....thanks for all the reception reports...)  into Santana song (I think). Noisy band from here.

S9 in KCMO  with Love me do at 22:21z & piano tune with op talk & shout outs. Great signal on my portable sat 750.

Signal is actually 20 over S9 at times but is a little fadey. 22:30 op talk about crappy music.

General Radio Discussion / Re: WYFR Facility to Return to Shortwave as WRMI

« on: November 08, 2013, 1401 UTC »

If WRMI does have a stronger signal then they might sell more airtime resulting in less of the WRN programming which is actually just filler for unsold airtime (isn't it?). I rarely hear much over the Cuban pulse jamming here in Missouri anyway. Maybe that will change with the new TX site.

Great work Dave, I have most ,if not all of these on my sdr recording but haven't had the time to go through it. I usually just delete my overnights after checking & logging but I think I'll keep this one as it has so many shows.

There's a carrier that was too weak for audio on my sdr recording that I guess is WLIS. This was the first pirate that I ever qsl'ed in the 1990's, Its great to see them back.

Shortwave Broadcast / KBS World Radio English service 11810 Khz 22:40 UTC 11/4/2013

« on: November 04, 2013, 2252 UTC »

I never am able to catch the local morning KBS English program on 15575 ( it is beamed more towards South America than North America), so this is my best option to hear them unless they get a relay of some sort for US listeners. Good reception on 11810 with Korean pop music & talk of South Korean budget surplus in the next few years.

Heard while on a short dog walk with PL660. Totally inbooming with Molly Hatchet. I was forced to do air guitar by hearing such a strong signal. Thanks Twangy

Sort of in & out with the audio here. Usable on peaks but completely gone on the fades.
