Even though some people nicknamed them Mississippi's Finest Junk, I've owned many of their products, and I don't think I've ever had issues with them.

North American MW Pirate Radio / UNID 1710 FM ?? 2233 UTC 22 APR 2024
« on: April 23, 2024, 1153 UTC »
SDR recording catch, on from 2233-0101 UTC. Tough copy with QRM from the Hudson County TIS Of Doom, but occasional audio heard, sounded like someone talking.
I *think* this is FM and not AM. Unfortunately it's tough to get strong enough signal levels on this band to make FM useful. So I'm mostly hearing static with occasional bits of audio. I think I heard a phone number mentioned.
It might have been the Voice Of The Sons Of Liberty, based on the style of programming I could occasionally hear.
0100 Time pips, mention of National Anthem. Which makes me now wonder if it was the Community Radio Network? They've been known to do that.
