S8 using the New Hampshire remote.

I concur with the earlier comments that this is not a normal station. Might be aware of us listening in.

He definately knows the pirate freq's.

01:00 OP has been having a long talk about Senator elections in New Jersey 01:01  Clear ID New Jersery Pirate Radio ---- broadcasting from New Jersey  Solid S8 signal Gave live time at 9:03 PM (8:03pm here in Illinois)
01:05  Talking about elections going on today esp. Corey Booker
01:06  Clear ID
01:08 Another ID, then OP said he'll be back shortly.....dead air.
01:10 OP back on gave another ID
01:11 OP gave Newark NJ mayoral vote tabs.  Moving to 6925
01:13 moved to 6925 USB - talked about Governer "Fred Flintsone Christie"  left air
01:16 OP came back on - signal a bit lower. (The OP knows the universal pirate freq. so am wondering if this a one time broadcast)
01:21 left the air again for about a minute and then back now doing a QSO with another. 01:25 another ID by OP awaiting election results
01:28 sounds like music is being played through the microphone. terrible audio.....so I'm thinking possible Ham OP

Also look at your time frame---many of the taped driven programs from the 1980's were only 30-40 minutes long were played on-air from IS to sign-off----all canned, nothing live, then off like a prom dress. Like a Stuckey's restaurant along a highway, EZ on-EZ off. (OK that's a bit dating myself, but you get the idea) OP's that have marathon broadcasts, 2-3 hours are just itching for "The Knock" especially if operating from their QTH JMHO.
