North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: SSTV 2307Z 6925U

This was transmitted 3 times beginning at 2301z.  This was my best decode of the three.
Copied in AM mode.

The first pirate I ever heard was the Voice of Ganymede.  I don't recall the year although I'm reasonably sure it was pre-1979.  I had an old National receiver that I had picked up at a hamfest, with a hunk of wire strung up around the room.  I had their QSL as well, but it was lost long ago during one of many changes of residence.  I wish I still had it, as well as that old NC-2-40D receiver!

Don't know if it was the same op, but heard "Love is the Drug" at 0253z on 6925u, then off.  Nice signal here, about S9 or a little above.

On and off here since 0302z.  S9+10 signal and the audio ain't bad either.

On at 0251z with Marvin Gaye "Let's Get it On".  Cream "Tales of Brave Ulysses" at 0255 then off with no ID.

Nice signal but the audio was very weak.

Thanks!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: tent Captain Morgan Shortwave 6924.78AM *0103

« on: May 27, 2012, 0123 UTC »

On about 0101z.  Heard bits of "Who Are You", "I Need Love to Keep Me Happy", "Sunshine", "Mama Told Me Not to Come" with multiple IDs.

Well above S9 at times, but frequent fades into the noise.

Thanks Captain!

Nice audio and a strong S9+ signal.

Thanks for the late night punk show!

On at 0002z with Hendrix "Voodoo Child".  All Hendrix tunes so far, "Crosstown Traffic" at 0016.

Nice S9+ signal here beating out the static crashes from local t-storms.

Thanks Captain!
