Thanks for the show!

Just woke up from trying to sleep off the Winterfest weekend, checked the radio & heard voices on 6940. S9, no fading. Heard the Voice of Pancho Villa instrumental theme music & hit Record. Heard for about 40 seconds & off. That's it. Please QSL if possible & I have a short recording, if you'd like to hear it.   :)

Thanks for the show!

Here, too. Not sure about the mode. Sounded decent (but not quite right) in either LSB or USB. Heard Romantics "Talking in Your Sleep" then Roxette "She's Got the Look" then it faded out. Thanks for the show!

Please ID & QSL if you do that sort of thing

General Radio Discussion / Re: FCC Activity-Atlanta/Georgia
« on: February 26, 2013, 1255 UTC »
Fortunately, the FCC doesn't get any $ from their fines; it all goes to the general government funds. If they did, they'd probably be more aggressive. Likewise, they don't get any $ when they auction off the radio spectrum. The incentive there is that the FCC execs get powerful jobs with the companies they sell to after they leave the FCC.

He logged a lot of pirates, too. He was only about an hour from here and I was hoping to stop up and meet him sometime...

BTW, he sent loggings to the CumbreDX group regularly & I see that his last pirate logs were of XFM and Rave On Radio on 11/23 & 11/24

Pretty steady signal & audio here, but not quite able to pull much out of it

1825
Pretty good here, too, with some John Fogerty mx

1826
Pretty good signal here with clear IDs, mx by Pink Floyd, etc.

I use Brain, connected to the Ears input system with some help from Google & YouTube. I've discovered that both Brain's hardware and software interface are incomplete and error prone. Also, neither Brain's hardware nor software are upgradable. And I sometimes do get viruses

I've read logs of El Buen Pescador (The Good Fisherman) here. He's apparently a regular on this freq in this general timeframe. He's reportedly a fisherman from Nicaragua, who broadcasts to other other fishermen.

I don't know the stations on this frequency well enough to know who operates here. Fair signal with man talking in Spanish and also a number of songs. Sounds more like a Latin American version of a pirate than a licensed broadcast station. The songs were mostly ballads & lasted from about 2221-2232 UTC. Without an ID or more knowledge of this group, I don't know if it was El Buen Pescador or another guy from the group doing some broadcasting. Occasional loud adjacent-channel QRM--not sure if this was from aircraft (didn't check them out) ?

General Radio Discussion / NASWA Winter SWL Fest
« on: February 18, 2013, 1434 UTC »
A lot of the people who report stations here are far from Philly, but just in case anyone is interested, this is the only shortwave conference in North America and run by the only shortwave club in North America that still publishes a hardcopy bulletin.

About the Fest
March 1–2, 2013, Doubletree Guest Suites, Plymouth Meeting, Pennsylvania

The Winter SWL Fest is a conference of radio hobbyists of all stripes, from DC to daylight. Every year scores of hobbyists descend on the Philadelphia,  Pennsylvania suburbs for a weekend of camaraderie. The Fest is sponsored by NASWA, the North American Shortwave Association, but it covers much more than just shortwave; mediumwave (AM), scanning, satellite TV, and pirate broadcasting are among the other topics that the Fest covers. Whether you’ve been to every Fest (all 26, starting with the first year at the fabled Pink & Purple Room of the Fiesta Motor Inn) or this year’s will be your first, you’re sure to find a welcome from your fellow hobbyists.

For 2013, the Winter SWL Fest will have two days of sessions where you can learn about the latest developments in the radio listening hobbies, but there’s so much more going on. There’s a silent auction that takes place, where you’re bound to find something of interest. There’s the Hospitality Suite, where attendees partake of tuning oil and other treats and engage in spirited conversations. There is the closing Banquet, with after-dinner remarks by a luminary from the field, often one of the many broadcasters who attend the Fest, followed by the raffle, where you could win one or more of the dozens of prizes, ranging from pens from stations up to top-notch communications receivers. And of course, the infamous midnight ride of Pancho Villa that closes things out every year.

Fest registration information:

If you wish to download and print the registration form and mail it in, you’ll find it here. Note the new mailing address for 2013!

If you wish to register online and pay with Paypal, you’ll find that page here.

Hotel reservation information:

You can reserve a room at the special $97 Fest rate using this link.  IMPORTANT — this steeply discounted rate is only available until February 12th — after that, the room rate may be much higher.

Your hosts, Richard Cuff and John Figliozzi, work throughout the year to ensure that attendees have a great time over the weekend, and by all accounts, they succeed stunningly. How else could this event have lasted for 26 years (egad) and draw people from around the world to southeastern Pennsylvania? Won’t you join us?

General Radio Discussion / Some news from pirates
« on: February 18, 2013, 1407 UTC »
I sent out a bunch of PRA entries yesterday & received an e-mail back from Graham Barclay of KIWI Radio almost immediately (an old KIWI show was relayed last year). He was *really* excited about it and asked me to send word around that he would like to have his programs relayed in North America again. KIWI was an AM/FM/SW pirate from New Zealand that was relayed here in the '80s & '90s. For those of you who weren't listening in the mid-'90s, he later got an SSB transmitter & was regularly audible across Europe and North America, relaying dozens of pirates. KIWI was probably heard by more people than any other SW pirate of the past 25 years. Very cool to see that he's alive & well (and still interested). His e-mail is  kiwiradio /at/ xtra.co.nz

I've also heard from two other stations who sent programs to me on cassette who would be interested in relays. I don't know if they want it publicized that they want relays, so I'm not mentioning their names here. Contact me if you're interested in relaying. I'll copy the cassettes to .MP3.

Finally, Bart Sambo of XEROX, Radio Duplicado, asked me to tell people that the station will be returning to the air again soon. It's been about 15 years since he's been on.
