North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: XFM 6940USB +0158

« on: May 27, 2012, 0212 UTC »

X-FM putting a S8-S9 signal into NH this evening - couple of S-units above the noise.

0210z - Says he's using his "backpack studio" tonight and that accounts for the audio quality not being up to his normal excellent standards. (Sounds pretty awful now and then - peaking S9+ now). Op audio is ok, the music is mangled.

0220z "10,000 tunes and 9,000 are corrupt" (or something like that), and thanks for the shout-outs...
0226z xfmshortwave@gmail.com
0248z Off (it seems cheeseburgers are more important than pirate radio)

« on: May 19, 2012, 0109 UTC »

Rave On Radio down in the steady S7-S8 static here tonight but strong enough for me to get the ID and recognize the Allman Brothers tunes.

0105z "Trouble No More"
0109z  Rave On ID
0110z "Don't Keep Me Wondering"
0113z "One Way Out"

0114z Second station on 6925 AM, Ten Years After "I'd Love to Change the World" - much stronger than Rave On

0118z Rave On ID, second station gone...
0123z "Stormy Monday"

0128z Second station again with short test on 6925 AM, bird calls
0132z Station #2 back on 6925 AM with Janis Joplin S9+10 and off

0133z Rave On SSTV, too much static to copy

Rave On bravely fighting high static levels here in NH, peaking S4-S5 with S7 static...

0117z ID
0120z Stones - Memory Motel
0128z ID - "Pirate radio music at it's best..."
0130z Can't quite make it out, more Stones?
0141z Stones - You're a Fool to Cry
0152z ID and sign-off for "Black and Blue Show"

Too bad the noise-level was so high tonight, it made copy very difficult.   Maybe I'll catch this show some other time... thanks.

0215z Hearing the Doctor in NH - he's peaking about S7 but is battling two other stations that are about the same strength.  One is playing music (spanish?) and there is also an automated weather announcement station in there.  The result is that I'm only getting about 25% of what he's saying.

Info from #pirateradio: The other stations are Celestial radio from NYC and the NJ traffic info system (thanks).

0125z Strong S7-S8 signal in NH.

Not French, Portugese most likely.  Lots of Brazilian stations hang out around 6930.

Gotta love the Wikipedia entry on "Red Mercury", lots of strangeness...
