Excellent signal with reading from Isaiah 66. ID with "LJS" in phonetics. Off with "Remember, we are all behind enemy lines"

Excellent signal. DW with some shoutouts & Superlove "Go"

I've also been listening some on a new Panasonic RF-2200. Good signal with just the whip antenna, but the tuning is really touchy with the BFO

Wonder if this was the same Rattlesnake Radio that would pop up on 43m with a couple of songs and SSTV images around 2013/2014?

Yeah, Vashek Korinek is a hardcore shortwave DXer. He's heard at least a handful of North American pirates. Here's an old "Outer Limits" column where he's mentioned hearing Radio Tellus: https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Short-Wave/Monitoring-Times-IDX/90s/Monitoring-Times-1997-04-OCR-Page-0088.pdf

Here's a report on a DXpedition he was a part of from a decade ago:
http://www.dxing.info/dxpeditions/seefontein_2012_08.dx

I hadn't really thought about it, but if some of these guys are still doing DXpeditions, it might be worth contacting them to coordinate activities. Could be fun for everyone involved

S7 signal, but high static crashes tonight. Instrumental song, sounds like a movie sound track, then into what sounded like a '50s or '60s rock song

Excellent signal. Tuned in around 0008 to DW talking about the transmitter reflecting back 100% but not triggering a shutdown. Said power was still normal despite this transmitter incident

VG signal with some t-storm crashes. Tuned in to woman comedian in front of a live audience. Having a hard time understanding her because the audio seems to be a bit overdriven. Clear WYMN IDs & old Wellsville maildrop address around 0400. I think this was one of the last programs from the station in the early '90s. I think I only heard it once or twice in the mid-'80s
