North American Shortwave Pirate / Outhouse Radio 6923.2 U Bagpipe music

« on: February 25, 2010, 0116 UTC »

I've been hearing bagpipe music since 0054z.  There is some occasional voice in there too, but it's difficult to make out what's being said.  Heard "Go back to England!"  a couple of times.  Sounds like it might be a TV or movie soundtrack.  Abruptly switched to some sort of mashup of Led Zeppelin and Elvis songs at 0119z, Heartbreaker and Heartbreak Hotel.  0123z, Eagles - Seven Bridges Road.  Outhouse ID at 0126z.  Said music was from Braveheart.  Sign off at 0129z after an instrumental song.

Pretty solid signal hovering around S9.

Not strong, but audible, about S5.

The further they get from 6925, the better.

Sounds like a couple of people partying with an open mic starting at 0414z.  I wasn't able to catch an ID, but Token in #pirateradio heard it as AKA Radio.  Here's a bit of the ranting/rambling.  Lotsa F bombs.

After listening to my recording, Lex commented that it "sounded like teenage gym locker room jibber jabber"  Perfect description.  Thanks, Lex!

Faded up out of the noise at 0129z playing old blues music.  ID with email addy at 0131, more old blues.  Another ID at 0137.

Not very strong tonight, SIO 232.  Great selection of tunes!

Signal has improved!  "You Really Got Me" by The Kinks at 0214, peaking at S9+10.

Thanks, Cap!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Ga-Ga 6930u

« on: February 18, 2010, 0025 UTC »

Been hearing Ga-Ga since about 0010 UTC playing some live Cream.  Nice solid S9 signal.  "Still Crazy After All These Years" at 0023, doesn't sound like the Paul Simon version though.  Or maybe a live version?  Queen's "Radio Ga-Ga" at 0028.  Off after SSTV with "This has been Radio Ga-Ga."

Been hearing the same song looped since about 0214 UTC.  I don't recognize the song, but Google says "Artillery" by Infected Mushroom.  New song at 0236, I don't recognize this one either.  Signal about S7 - S9, good audio.

Nice signal here as well, S9+20 on peaks.  Audio sounds a bit distorted.  Off abruptly at 2358z, sounds like his tape deck ate the tape!
