Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
Heard that as well = rhythmic guitar or bass with some indecipherable vocals - both at home and via web tuner. I think it was a different station. I couldn't copy RSO7 at all at home, but was able to hear the followup unid transmission about as well on both receivers.

4/22/12, 6925 AM, 1200z: Hearing Radio Strange Outpost 7 with RSO7 phonetic IDs, eclectic mixture of music, voice and just plain weirdness in a good way. S5-S7 over fairly low noise, good audio and wide signal.
A suitably weird pattern in the SDR waterfall from closing of RSO7:

Heard this too via east coast web tuner, music I didn't recognize, some nifty audio collage type edits, Radio Strange Outpost 7 ID. Nary a peep on the home receiver, though. Hope to catch this one again, sounded like interesting programming.

4/21/12, 6935 AM, same content as logged by other folks for Undercover Radio's most recent show. Attaching screen capture of east coast SDR waterfall. That blazing red strip? That's Dr. Benway's signal. It was much stronger than the usually strong nearby religious broadcasters.

4/22/12, 6925 AM, 0430z: Undercover good to very good outdoors with Sony ICF-2010 portable in AM sync. Heard parts of this new show (Dr Benway said it's his first new show in four years), monologue about freedoms, Bill of Rights and 2nd Amendment, etc. Rush "Spirit of Radio". Sudden deeper fades after 0435z on the outdoor portable, but was still strong via other tuners.

4/22/12, 6950 AM, 0430z: Radio True North fair to good outdoors with Sony ICF-2010 in AM sync. M "Pop Musik", Boston "More Than A Feeling", Gary Numan "Cars", clear IDs for Radio True North and gmail contact info. Just a little too much local RFI for clear copy indoors with the Palstar and fugloop.
Via eeevil IRC, rumor sez RTN had to replace a cap that went ka-blooey between broadcasts tonight!
Since 0650z: via east coast web tuner, still SINPO=34243, good signal with minor Spanish language QRM but very crashy QRN. Aerosmith "Dream On", Madonna "Open Your Heart", Kenny Loggins "Footloose", others.
0716z: Someone likes that Madonna... "Borderline". Blondie "Call Me", Kate Bush "Running Up That Hill", Simple Minds Don't You (Forget About Me)", Patty Smyth & Scandal "The Warrior"
0750z: Partial RTN ID and "Midnight Express" theme audible on my home receiver with indoor antenna.

Peaked briefly around 0320z enough to copy Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower." If this is Captain Morgan, it's the best I've heard him in awhile on my own receiver and indoor antenna.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Wolverine Radio 4/22/12, 6.925usb 1:27+ UTC
« on: April 22, 2012, 0149 UTC »
4/22/12, 6925 USB, 0149z: Looks like a visual theme. The Who "I Can See For Miles", Doors "My Eyes Have Seen You", Moody Blues "Lovely To See You"
0153z: Wolverine Radio ID, CCR "Long As I Can See The Light", Yes "I've Seen All Good People"
0204z: Hot damn Tuna "I See The Light" - digging deep into the Wolverine vault
0209z: QRM, very loud "Pee-Pee Vagina" radio ID over Wolverine. Hopefully unintentionally.
Good signal with some fades, S3-S7 over S1 noise.
30 minute mp3, with QRM from "Pee-Pee Vagina Radio ID" at 16 minute mark.

« on: April 21, 2012, 0702 UTC »
4/21/12, 6925 USB (vice LSB heard before), 0700z: Turtlehead Radio ID, but so far signal too faint at home and via web tuner to identify songs.
0709z: Turtlehead Radio ID, another song I can't quite copy. Conditions just not cooperating tonight.
0715z: Not sure if off, lost signal completely at home and via east coast tuner.

Good signal here but rough copy due to heavy local RFI.
0459z: INXS "Disappear" punching through local RFI.
0550z: INXS "Listen Like Thieves", RML ID, still strong here at home.
0635z: Said band may be going long for some listeners, shout out to Bender. Still coming in very well here in Texas.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Unid 6925 AM and USB
« on: April 21, 2012, 0412 UTC »
4/21/12, 6925 AM, 0410z: Sounds like monologue, rough copy due to fades and being adjacent to Undercover Radio on 6920 USB.
The monologue seems to be 6925 USB, and there's an AM station with strong carrier, so there may be three stations on between 6920 and 6925?
0416z: AM carrier gone, still hearing some OM monologue on USB, so there were at least two stations on 6925 for awhile. Never heard any audio from the AM station here or via east coast web tuner. OM monologue similar to recent "Dr Who and friends" broadcasts, similar political/social commentary themes.
0424z: Talking about alcohol, illegal drugs, drug addicts, morphine vs heroin, gummint propaganda via shortwave, rules aimed at VOA to restrict deliberately transmitting propaganda to domestic listeners.
0444z: Band changed, inaudible at home but stronger via east coast web tuner.
0506z: Some reference to Dr. Who in discussion, still not sure if this is same Dr Who and Friends in recent broadcasts.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Undercover Radio 6920 USB
« on: April 21, 2012, 0336 UTC »
4/21/12, 6920 USB, 0333z: Dr. Benway with Undercover Radio ID, sounds live. Good signal peaks, lots of fades here.
0338z: Shout outs to folks logging this broadcast.
0340z: Leonard Cohen "Everybody Knows"
0359z: ID, "my first new show in four years".
0405z: Thanking listeners for patience in waiting for QSL cards. Hey, Dr. Benway, I really appreciate the QSL package you sent for the 20th anniversary broadcast a few years ago. I don't often ask for QSL cards and always appreciate those who send 'em - it's a lot of expense and effort.
0415z: Talking about listening to shortwave radio and "listening to Allan Weiner rant on about 'real' pirates...".
0433z: Said conditions were too rough for AM tonight, checking signal reports for requests.
0445z: Sounds like Dr. Benway switched back to USB after brief try on LSB.
0520z: Talking about Bill Of Rights, 2nd Amendment, personal privacy. Signal much stronger via east coast tuner now, still occasionally audible here at home. Reference to William Cooper (he really could spin great yarns weaving together strands of various tenuous threads from mythology, religion, history, mysticism, and current events).
Switched from my local Palstar and indoor antenna to east coast web tuner around 0350z, huge signal.Unfortunately 6920 and a big AM signal on 6925 are nut to butt now (QRM cleared up by around 0400z).
0338z: Shout outs to folks logging this broadcast.

4/21/12, 6930 USB, 0253z: Voice of Captain Ron ID, just fixed some antenna problem, moved from 6925, coming in better here. Shout-out to Sealord, jfarley. "I'm needing radio therapy." Reminds me, I'm needing a beer...
0321z: Still hanging in there but longer fade outs than other recent shows.
