General Radio Discussion / Feds claim a pirate radio station is hiding in a space launch facility
« on: May 27, 2023, 1420 UTC »
Spaceport America calls itself “the world’s first purpose-built commercial spaceport.” It was funded with an estimated $200 million investment from the New Mexico state government and provided the base for Richard Branson’s Virgin Galactic, which has launched humans into outer space from this facility.
According to the Feds, Spaceport America may also be hiding a pirate radio station.
On May 24 the Federal Communications Commission’s enforcement arm sent a notice to Spaceport America alleging that their Denver office is investigating a complaint about an “unlicensed FM broadcast station operating on frequencies 95.3 MHz and 96.3 MHz”:
“An Agent from the Denver Office confirmed that unauthorized radio signals were transmitted on frequencies 95.3 MHzx and 96.3 MHz from the Spaceport America property located between Las Cruces and Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, between June 21 and June 25, 2022 during the Spaceport America Cup 2022 event.”

You can see their signal on my daily annotated waterfall of the 43 mb: https://radiohobbyist.org/waterfalls/23-24May2023.png
Sign on 2300 UTC, off at 0130 UTC. Sweeping audio tones very clearly heard around 2336 UTC, played for some time. You can see this on the waterfall also. Later, just a dead carrier, with a good signal level. No obvious audio.
Is this something that Zeppelin Radio is known to do? Also, the carrier frequency as almost exactly 6950, I see Zeppelin was noted with an offset frequency of 6954.9. Are we sure this was from Europe?
