OK, I have been trying to find a used copy of this DVD (I'm cheap). Has anyone on this board seen this documentary? Is the movie about FM pirates or HF pirates. I've seen the trailers online, but it's a bit unclear. Recommended?  TIA

Other / S9+ Pesquadore and CW 6918 LSB May 12, 2012

« on: May 12, 2013, 1806 UTC »

Last night Approximately @ 02:40utc  heard Spanish Pesquadoe with a booming S9+ signal, and in the background heard a fairly steady "slow" CW signal. The signal strength caught my attention for normally their signal is about an S5 here at QTH.

Utility / UNID 6913 USB Signal

« on: May 12, 2013, 1755 UTC »

For the last few days have heard on 6913 USB a signal that I have never heard before. It sounds like a cross between SSTV and RTTY and the "Bubble" signal.  It comes on about 01:00 to 02:00 UTC. The sounds are varying in length, very rapid-fire, but definately a broadcast--not local QRM.

Any Ideas?
