Dang, you keep beating me to the posting. I can hear it stronger on 6950 then I could  on 6925 but not sure if it's a relay from a different location or just that conditions have improved.
BTW there's pescadores on 6930 having a very lively discussion. THEY are killer strong into northern Canada tonite.

I heard a rumor that this was a WBNY relay.

I dunno, it was heard by more then one person and the people posting now aren't sock pupets. So it CAN'T be a fluffy tail production...

Can hear a carrier and some voice but not strong. I posted here before I heard an I.D.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Hearing a strong station 6950 AM playing music

Just found it and posted here. Playing rock dance music. Strong S-7 but crappy band conditions with fades and noise.

Hearing it loud (S-7 to S-9) in northern Canada but tough copy to fades and static. I'll post any developments.

I don't know if it's virus noise related or what but every time I hear rap I get sick. Not doing too well with cheatin', hurtin' country, either.

I haven't listened to conventional AM or FM in years; Sirrius satellite radio plays quite a bit of Montrose. That's where I first got into it.

I appreciate you saying that, Andrew, and I hope I'm not offending you by my contantly hammering this topic. My sole reason is to keep history from being rewritten, as has happened on the Furreh Radio Network site. I can see it now: a bunch of aggressive sock puppets appear and chase off everyone else. Then every post concerns the Great Exalted Floppy Eared one and how he is the savior of Pirate Radio and how sunshine comes out of his butt, etc. That's not gonna happen on my watch.
I'm not entirely blameless here, in the past I was too free with my identity and stories of my pirate past. That was naive and foolish of me. But here's the kicker: I shouldn't have to fear OTHER ops.

I can't speak for others, I can only point out why I keep poking at the furreh bunch.
If they were or were not responsible for WEAK, Crystal, or anyone else actually being busted is irrelevant. It is their INTENT that is important. ie: you can still go to jail for INTENDING to kill someone without ACTUALLY killing them. Their intent was (is) to shut down through intimidation anyone who they don't like. As a Canadian I don't know about the FCC but it is a FACT that they actively stirred up my radio club and encouraged THEM to report Radio Yellowknife to Industry Canada, our regulating body. Now had this actually occurred they could of course say "WE didn't turn Radio YK in" when in fact they would have been directly responsible for that happening.

Damn! I only just got into this WAY overlooked genius in the last year or so. "Space Station #5" and "Bad Motor Scooter" are equal or better then ANYTHING from the more well known rock gods. Power chords rule! And Sammy Hagar was at his best, surpassing (in my opinion, at least) any of the smarmy pop crap he did with Van Hagar.

I can hear them in North Canada about S-2 over S-1 noise, some QSB. Not strong enough for armchair copy but I can hear OM announcer, into music.
