Fair signal with light pop. The R8's dumb sync detector can't lock on. Hearing some pescadores on the frequency, too. Song with flute now. Thanks to Chris for moving this here--not used to hearing Europirates in this neck of the woods

Ha, there's such a difference in tone between the mics(?) that Stavin's deep voice and Dick's somewhat more trebley sound, that it almost seems like they're using different transmitters. Excellent signal & nice to hear RFW again!

General Radio Discussion / Next Global HF Weekend: November 3-5, 2017
« on: October 29, 2017, 2204 UTC »
The next Global HF Weekend is a few days away, so I thought it was finally time to mention it here 
I've heard from a few station operators and listeners who said they plan to participate, so hopefully it'll be a good time for everyone.
-----------------------------------------
The idea behind the Global HF Weekends are to promote friendship through radio around the world. The hope is that listeners will be able to hear different stations and for broadcasters to reach distant locations. Anyone may participate. I've already heard from a few stations who plan to broadcast and I've been in contact with a number of listeners.
The last one, which occurred during the first weekend of April, resulted in some success with intercontinental broadcasting. Four North American pirates all operated around 0600 UTC between 6920 and 6950 kHz and were heard in New Zealand. A South American station ran 24/7 tests on 6930 kHz across Global HF Weekend and was reported in Germany, Maryland and Pennsylvania, and South America with only 10 watts. One Dutch station was logged in Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Michigan, Kentucky, New York, Maryland, and Virginia. Other stations were active specifically for the weekend, but just for a local or regional audience.
We'll see how many stations show up during the next weekend. It seems unlikely that stations will be using 13 meters this time and much more likely that stations will be trying the 6900-kHz range and possibly 31 and 25 meters.
November 3-5, 2017
Maybe 15010-15090 kHz, probably 6200-6400 kHz and 6800-6990 kHz
Of course, these were general frequency ranges used by pirates during prior Global HF Pirate weekends. Some stations will surely operate on frequencies and times outside of these ranges. In fact, the way conditions have been lately, frequencies at or below 15 MHz seem like they will be more effective for intercontinental broadcasting. These will be updated on the Hobby Broadcasting (http://hobbybroadcasting.blogspot.com/) blog as it happens and also check the loggings on HF Underground (https://www.hfunderground.com/).

A jazzy instrumental song, then mentioned he'd listened to Recycle Radio on 6950, into shoutouts to a bunch of people here. Pretty good signal here. Thanks for the show!

Nice signal with Abaddon "Blues Today" The Haunted "1-2-5" + some lighter underground (or at least not common) '60s pop, too. Interesting format & thanks for the show!

Given the song you Shazam'd, maybe a Brazilian station?
