General Radio Discussion / Attention Operators - Don't let your emails give you away!

If you're using an email service like hotmail or yahoo, you might want to consider changing services. Many such services include your IP address in the message headers. So if you send an email to a listener, the IP address of your computer will be shown in the headers. That IP address can be used to determine your location, often down to the city.
GMail seems to be safe, it does not (to my knowledge) include your IP address in the headers. There may be other secure email services as well.

« on: October 18, 2011, 1830 UTC »
Started off with someone doing an impression of an old geezer saying "how about a radio check?".
Very tough copy here, caught what sounded like an ID of WPOD at the very end just before sign-off.

Heard this one from 2352-0002 UTC. Sounds like some Spanish between the music, but I never could pull out an ID?

Sounds like Poet's new show. Donner Pass Diner ad, talk about sockpuppets... weak signal, S3 or S4 and quite a bit of fading.
"Shot Across the Port Bow" segment with The Radical.
Off 2211z.
Checking my SDR recording files... sign on was 2108 UTC.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Free Mars 6925 AM 2255 UTC
« on: October 15, 2011, 2258 UTC »
Sign on, ID "Radio Free Mars" by Mr. Martian. Very strong, S9+
One suggestion - the ID is a little tricky to make out with the distorted audio. I thought it was Radio Free Fog at first :-)
Off 2339.
