On just after WEAK sign off at 1936z.  Fooled me for a minute with a couple of recorded WEAK IDs.  Polka music, Outhouse ID at 1943z.  I heard you laughing at me, Outhouse!

North American Shortwave Pirate / WEAK 6925 U

« on: September 07, 2010, 1935 UTC »

I've been hearing WEAK since about 1912z with assorted rock music.  The only song I recognized was "Shattered" by the Stones at 1923z.  WEAK ID at 1927 followed by the National Anthem, with a little pitch shifting going on.  Off at 1929 after a short instrumental guitar tune.

S9+ signal with very little fade, the usual punchy WEAK audio

Back on again at 1936z with a much weaker signal, now peaking at about S6 or so.  Or maybe someone else with a recorded WEAK ID.  Sounds like polka music?  Outhouse ID at 1943z...See my next post!

Thanks!

Since 0225z.  A bunch of strange sound clips strung together.  A couple of hard rock tunes in between the clips.

"Happy birthday"
"My mother said she crapped me in the toilet"
"Take a drink"
"Tony, T O N Y, Straka, S T R A K A"
"President Crack Obama"
"Today I want to start by smoking crack"
"Call 1-800"

No ID heard, S9+10, audio is somewhat overdriven.
