North American Shortwave Pirate / Unid 6925.2 AM

« on: July 11, 2010, 0810 UTC »

I've been hearing music in and out of the noise since about 0500z, about 3 hours now.  Signal is pretty weak, although there have been a lot of good peaks.  Program has been mostly hardcore/thrash type stuff with some classic rock as well.  No IDs that I've been able to hear.  Fierce static tonight with crashes to S9+.  Lots of OTHR too.

0832z Black Hole Sun - Soundgarden
0837  Children of the Grave - Black Sabbath

6 minute audio clip, beginning at 0746z:

A very cool request show!

Played Killer Queen for Radio Ga-Ga, Dory Previn for Lex, Eight Days A Week for DimBulb, and Eugene for me!

About S7 signal with some fade, but not bad.

Thanks WLDJ!
