Tuned in before checking HFU and immediately recognized Radio Animal's voice. Not sure if this is an old show or something new. He said he gave a heads up to a few people, including AJ Michaels. Great to hear WKND again!

VG signal. Need to go back outside to backfill a wall, but I've got it recording

Took a look at my logbook & I also heard the 7/30/84 Radio Sine Wave show & one of the 1/26/85 KROK shows. Thanks for posting. Good times!

General Radio Discussion / Re: Pirating in the 11-meter broadcast band?

« on: August 08, 2019, 1552 UTC »

Thanks for the input. Good stuff from everyone & I'll probably use a few quotes, if you don't mind (if you don't want me to, let me know)

I know I'm splitting hairs here because I've always considered 11m to be the everything from the 11m broadcast band up through the space just above the CB band. Of course, I'm always interested in hearing stories about pirates broadcasting anywhere, but in this case I'm looking for examples of pirates specifically within just the international broadcast band (25600-26100 kHz).

The one amateur broadcasting proposal from years ago requested LPSW licenses for these frequencies because they were so rarely used by int'l SW stations. Great points by all about equipment, antennas, mobility, etc. Seems like it could be an interesting area for activity

General Radio Discussion / Pirating in the 11-meter broadcast band?

« on: August 06, 2019, 0244 UTC »

I realize that the MUF isn't exactly allowing for it at the moment, but I just wondered how many people have heard pirates within the 11m broadcast band (25600-26100 kHz). I'm starting to write my column for the next Spectrum Monitor. In the last issue, Rob Wagner wrote a column "Whatever Happened to the 11-Meter Band?," so I thought it might be fun to follow it up with an article on 11m pirates. I think the only pirates that I've heard on 26 MHz were Radio Altrex and KROW, but I need to dig through a bunch of newsletters and run searches to see what other stations might be escaping me.

VG signal. I missed the VoOz relay, but heard pro-sounding WREC IDs, a Fast Forward car audio ad 2x, + a few other fake ads

Tuned in, but the same weak signal as earlier on 6925U, so I recorded the strong signal of what I thought was WDOG on 6930

Tuned in during CCR "Bad Moon Rising." Audio sounded low, but good copy; after song ended, I haven't heard much else. I have the signal around 6909

Nice signal. Tuned in a few min ago, just before PJ came on with an announcement. Hi to HFU people including Aurora, Chris, & TRS. E-mail address & said to write in for a nice QSL
