North American Shortwave Pirate / Old Time Radio, 6770am, 0140utc, 12-29-14

« on: December 29, 2014, 0147 UTC »

Fair/poor with selective fading, Drake R8 and 7mhz dipole, using synchro on the R8. Big band music, Jack Benny torturing his violin, Dennis Day at door, Dennis and Jack saying hello, Jack going to his money vault, money vault guard asking how things are like on the surface. This is the best I've heard this station.

Good sig, good audio, sounds like religious pop and rock music. R8 & dipole. (edit) banter between DJ and listeners, far right politics, bashing liberals and leftists. Talk of shooting machine guns. Various naughty words not allowed on the air.

Poor sig at or below noise floor, heard laughter and singing, old cigarette ad ending in "sold American", this station seems to be always on, perhaps it's legal.

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.
