General Radio Discussion / The Rise and Decline of CB Radio

« on: December 20, 2023, 1503 UTC »

In the mid-1970s, an obscure technology called Citizens Band or CB radio exploded in popularity across America. Seemingly overnight, bulky CB radios became standard equipment in millions of cars and trucks across the country. Antennas sprouted up like the shoots of some weird new plants. Obscure codes and nicknames like “10-4 good buddy” entered the national lexicon. But by the early 1980s, the CB craze had largely faded away. What explains this rapid rise and fall of what was arguably one of the biggest fads in American history?

North American MW Pirate Radio / UNID 1710 FM 2128 UTC 18 DEC 2023

« on: December 19, 2023, 1352 UTC »

SDR recording catch.

I am not sure what this is, is it a pirate, or some sort of spur from a MWBC station?  It's right on 1710.0 kHz however.

2128 First started to get some brief audio, only on the short fade-ups.
2132 OM speaking
2134 Advertisement for something, gave a website URL but impossible to decipher.. then Beatles "Eleanor Rigby"... as intro music into a talk radio segment?
2140 OM "...that is how they operate..."
2142 Talking about Lee Harvey Oswald, mention of relative in the New Orleans mob.
2143 "...Democrats blaming on the mob... smoking gun"
2145 Fading in and out quite a bit, very good reception/audio when the signal is strong. The programming sounded like talk radio, some mentions of the Federal Reserve.
2201 Some music briefly heard, for a few seconds
2202 More music? Sounded like a Christmas tune for a few seconds? Lots of fading.
2203 Now just hearing the Hudson County TIS Of Doom.

Here's an audio recording, 2128-2205 UTC, if anyone wants to listen: https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1021029304970252350/1186674101205602304/UNID1710FM2128UTC18Dec2023.mp3?ex=65941b61&is=6581a661&hm=622ec60cffff741cf11afbe6bd8fd6ea67f9a83ebd87b6b54c6235f007857347&

Or better yet, if the op wants to accept this as a reception report and send me an eQSL
