North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: 6925.5u UNID sultry tales @ 0110z

« on: April 27, 2010, 0143 UTC »

4/27/10
6925.6 USB
0110z: Mistress Evilena explains it all for you. Talking about doctor, someone who resembles actress Tia Carrera, talking about hypnosis sessions.
0113z: Evilena is squiggling around the ionosphere, drifting toward 6925.3 now. Talking about hypnosis.

Good signal through usual RFI here.  No ID for station airing this delectable confection.

4/26/10
8400 AM
1215z: Firedrake w/ usual raucous instrumental music.  S9+ with rapid fluttering fades.  Not sure what they're jamming here, Google doesn't turn up much other than many other logs confirming Firedrake on this freq at this time, presumably jamming... something.  (Apparently jamming Sound of Hope.  Thanks to jimdx via wunclub IRC.)

Per EiBi:

Not seeing any data on clandestineradio.com for Sound of Hope on 8400.

HF Beacons / Re: logs for this evening

« on: April 26, 2010, 1124 UTC »

I hardly ever beacon hunt - my location is too noisy - but using your log as a guideline I heard these this morning (all 1120z) via the SLC web receiver:

4079.66          TMP beacon
4089.20          dasher   location not know

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6960U (tenatively ID'd as WEAK Radio)

« on: April 26, 2010, 0558 UTC »

ID'd by L Cee as WEAK Radio, but I couldn't copy a positive ID myself.  Audio sounded like WEAK, when I could copy it.
4/26/10
6960 USB
0245-0255z: Cream SWLABR, Tales of Brave Ulysses, Hendrix "Fire"
0256z: Sounds like Hendrix "Voodoo Chile", barely audible now.
0340z: Ah, just now floated back in after long fadeout, sounds like "Machine Gun" from live Band of Gypsies album! Eeexxxcellent. Fans of Hendrix's "Star Spangled Banner" combat noises, dive-bomb whammy bar gymnastics and machine-gun chops should love this one.
0346z: Faded out at what sounded like the intro riffs to "Who Knows"

Signal gone after 0346z here.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: 6930u Outhouse

« on: April 26, 2010, 0555 UTC »

Seems to be drifting or shifting between 6929.9-6930.1 USB
0039z-0240z:  Outhouse Radio with all Jimi Hendrix music.  Outhouse Radio ID, op saying "If you don't like Hendrix you may have to spin the dial"
"Three Little Bears" from War Heroes, "All Along the Watchtower", "Fire", "Hear My Train A Comin'", "Manic Depression" (the weirdest 3/4 time waltz ever composed), Star Spangled Banner (sounds like Woodstock cut), many others.

SINPO=34322. Signal seemed to keep drifting/shifting between 6929.8-6930.1 USB.  I switched to my Magnavox D2935 with BFO by the desk to keep up with the drifts/shifts - sometimes a stepless BFO beats the 20 Hz fine tuning increments of the Palstar R30C, altho' the Magnavox BFO itself is drifty while the Palstar is stable.

0705z: OHR op talking after guitar jam, into "Doom, Despair and Agony"
0730z: More guitar jams, OHR ID.

After 0700z, stronger than usual here for late night. SINPO=34322, minor QRM from sideband comm chatter.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Erotic story 6925 USB

4/19/10
6925 USB
Approx. 0230-0300z (not watching clock): Young lady telling erotic story.  Interesting voice, sort of insinuating, mewing, cat-like intonations and inflections.  Sounded like repeat of last night's show.  Not quite as strong, mostly buried in local RFI, but heard same "Obey... obey..." and a few other bits heard last night.

Appears to be relay of podcast by Mistress Evilena.
