I didn't hear him (it?) but I know what PPV stands for from earlier posts. This is the type of garbage that may bring down the wrath of Uncle Sam on the pirate community.

6940usb, tuned in at 0128utc 3-31-13, Lynard Skynard tune about fathers advice to son, song "it's all I can do(?)", fair with some static, sed redmercurylabs@yahoo.com, read emails on air. As soon as he said "baker street" I tuned out because I cant stand that "ear worm" saxophone riff. Tuned back in after channel Z radio left air and he's not there either. More power trouble?

I got email from Rave On Radio saying they'd be on but all I heard was Insane Radio on 6924+am. After Insane left air all I heard was static and a feeble hint of Spanish language from gulf fishermen.

6924+am, tuned in at 0100utc after reading email from Rave On Radio. Fair/poor on Kenwood R-2000 & 7mhz backyard dipole. Guess it wasnt Rave on Radio. I didn't hear any ID and I listened until it went off at 0128. Rock music, somebody giving a speech at 0107, (edit) song: "1984" at 0116 which suddenly slowed to stop followed by homeland security spoof ad for snitching on your neighbors incl getting urine samples of them & sending them to FBI (jeez! there are people who would actually do that). Frank Zappa: "trouble everyday".

« 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.
