North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Plate Current, 6925am, 0708utc, 1-1-14

Poor/weak, generic pop music, slow talking couldn't understand much, now another pop tune, at noise floor, better using usb mode, R-2000 & dipole. Edit, heard him mention my post on the air, tried various pronunciations of my name. 2nd edit: He sounds like he's had a few drinks. It would be nice if he said the name of his station a few times.

hard rock rap music, reading posts from this site. Oh jeez, now he's playing "baker street" and I had to tune away. That tune has that sax riff that gets stuck in the head. I hate it.

FM Free Radio / Has anyone ever been an SCA pirate?

« on: September 30, 2013, 0051 UTC »

Has anybody ever put an FM transmitter in their car, put their recorded program onto an FM subcarrier of either 67 or 92 kHz, put the subcarrier into the FM transmitter, parked outside of a place of business such as a fast food place and heard their program on the loudspeakers in the place of business? I had thought of doing that but never got around to doing it. Now of course it's too late because background music has gone to satellite, cable and internet delivery.

Symphonic rendition of a Pink Floyd tune, now on another symphonic tune. Was good, now fair. I went over to 6955 upper for a moment and came back and heard nothing. Hope they didn't ID while I was gone. (edit)You are right, it was a pink floyd tune.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Capt Morgan sw, 6924+am, 3-24-13, 0050utc, poor/fair (was unid 'til 0210)

« on: March 24, 2013, 0126 UTC »

Tune: "working class hero", cover of Dylans "it's all right ma", poor, Kenwood R-2000 and 7mhz backyard dipole.
Now playing stones: "I can't get no satisfaction" and it sounds like a record skipping unless it's a cover and it's a deliberate sound.
Freq has drifted upward since I last tuned in and signal a bit stronger. Finally got an ID at 0210utc.
