North American Shortwave Pirate / Wild Mountain Radio 6938 USB 0000 UTC 7 NOV 2023
« on: November 07, 2023, 1654 UTC »
Via a recording.  The broadcast began about 20 seconds after the hour with a rock tune, then a YL thanked Cloudsplitter Radio for relaying Wild Mountain Radio.  Then another Rock tune.  The broadcast ended at 0007, mid song.  35453.

1200 program in progress.
        two men discussing socialism and national socialism; an interview.
        about 35 dB above the noise--35443.  3600 Hz audio bandwidth seemed right.
1207 BC ended in the middle of the discussion.

unidentified 6960 AM 1840 UTC 19 June 2023  Carrier present.  Then music at 1844 and an OM at 1045 with a few words that were unintelligible because of a weak signal.  And the carrier was gone at 1845.

About 28 dB above the background noise.

A small carrier appeared at 0747 and disappeared at 1019.  In between the signal was unusable.  Many times, only a carrier was visible on the waterfall, but nothing was heard.  Rock music.  I think that there was an ID at 0840 by a YL. 

The carrier was about 15 dB above the background noise, which was normal here.  15 dB will work for sideband, but I really need 30 dB over for AM.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Outhouse Radio 6955 USB 0302 UTC 6 Mar 2023
« on: March 07, 2023, 2005 UTC »
From a recording.
Signal came out of nowhere and appeared to sign-on at 0302.  Guitar music.  Mostly instrumental music followed until signing off at 0339.  Two SSTV broadcasts in Scottie 2 preceded sign-off.  The second, at 0337, IDed the broadcast as from Outhouse Radio.

During the entire broadcast I never heard an announcer's voice.

Mostly 25442.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / Recording to a hard drive--SSD or HDD?
« on: February 14, 2023, 2308 UTC »
Hello,

I've been recording spectrum collected by my Elad S3 to a SSD.  Today, the SSD died--two computers cannot see it and when I tried to initialize the SSD, the window said nope; I/O errors.

I'm not using the S3's ability to record 24MHz of spectrum, just 400KHz.  In playing back there are many forwards and backs to catch details, so many R/W cycles.

What to you use?  SSD or HDD?  And, if you would, why?

Thanks,

Ron

Dick came on at 2307 with his normal opening music, then chatted a bit about being on for two days in a row.  Suddenly, the BC ended and Dick came back with reports of popping and crackling.  He was, and did, sign-off to see what was up.

Gone at 2309

North American Shortwave Pirate / "QRM" 6925 USB 0905 UTC 23 Jul 2022
« on: July 23, 2022, 1315 UTC »
1313  Found an SSTV image in Scottie 2 in YONIQ this morning.  Transmitted at 0905 UTC.  "QRM" and nothing else.  Image was dirty due to the noise.  Radio set to 6925USB.  A bit of slant in the letters.

Elevator music.  11,500 is a nice audio envelope.  Music, then quite periods, then music.

No signal around 0212.


Ron

About 40 dB over the noise.  Still quiet at 0215.  10,500, not 11,500

North American Shortwave Pirate / unknown 6900 LSB 0205 UTC 15 January 2022
« on: January 15, 2022, 1512 UTC »
0205  I tuned-in at 0205 to old rock (Find My Way Home, Pusher Man, All Right, That Smell, Hello I Love You) at about 30 dB above the noise.
0231  The broadcast ended abruptly, mid-song.  At this time, the signal was only about 10 dB above the noise.  I never heard an ID. 

This is the same frequency and mode as Clear Talk Radio but long after others had reported a sign-off.  As 6900 and LSB are unusual, maybe Clear Talk resumed.
