Tuned in during "Benny & the Jets." Better sig than normal. Carrier on the freq, too, enabling me to listen in AM 

Thanks for the show!

General Radio Discussion / Getting last station entries ready for 2012 Pirate Radio Annual

« on: January 29, 2012, 0319 UTC »

I'm close to being done with the first pass of station entries for the 2012 PRA. If you ran a pirate in 2011, please check your station e-mail over the next week or two. I'll be sending entries so that you have a chance to review your entry for correctness. If you have sample studio audio or sample QSLs, that would be great.

I've lined up some QSLs and have off-air audio edited for 20 different stations, so I've gotten a start on everything, but I'm sure there's plenty of good stuff out there that I don't have. Also, I don't like to bother people with requests for audio or QSLs, but the last two people I asked for permission to use QSLs said that they were excited to have their names/QSLs in the book. So, if you'd like to have some QSLs or audio in the book, let me know what you have from 2011 (although it'd probably be easier for you if you have everything on a website).

Oh, one thing specifically that I can use right now that I can think of is SSTV pics of Wolverine Radio from 2011. Very few were posted this past year and Wolverine's scans load in seriously slanted on my computer.

Thanks to everyone for your help!

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Ga-Ga (tent) 6925U 1/28 1342+

« on: January 28, 2012, 1343 UTC »

Decent sig, just tuned in. Judging by everything, my guess is Radio Ga-Ga.

Johnny Cash "Ring of Fire" at 1349. Seemed to be all older country music, so maybe not Ga-Ga, but signal & time sure sound like it. Seemed to either sign off or fade away around 1358

Thanks for the show!

Sounds like two stations on at the same time, but I'm having trouble figuring out what this is...

Extremely weak here in dishwasher noise. Could barely tell anyone was on, so this is tentative, but I could hear a little bit around 0039

Thanks for the show!

« on: January 26, 2012, 1257 UTC »

Started playing a light pop song with a female singer at 0715 UTC in AM. The song was really weak and went off (but weak enough that I couldn't tell if it faded out), but then the song came blasting in a minute later in USB, with a bit of distortion. Have a recording, if the operator's interested.

Please ID?

Just tuned in. Decent sig here, too. Countryish mx. Clear ID, said something about reports, but not sure what.

1900+ started with a pretty good sig & big carrier. IDs, Pirates' Week version of "Breaking the Law," then fading down. We'll see if it comes back up.

Thanks for the show!

Carrier here with just a trace of audio. But signal faded up really nicely & I had a few clear "Radio True North" computer IDs, along with the e-mail address.

I tuned across the CB band & heard tons of activity an hour or two ago, so it's nice to hear someone playing with the high freqs today.

Thanks for the show!

Going back over the recording now. Off or fade out by 1306.

Weak sig & time makes me think Radio Ga-Ga, but I haven't heard an ID yet. Weak enough here that I might not hear an ID, so I thought I'd post to at least alert others that someone is here. Sounds like 1920s/early '30s jazz.

Thanks for the show!

BunCom with VG sig here (as opposed to the last few times when I had no trace) with IDs, Belfast add, etc.

Thanks for the show!

Hey Sealord, Thanks for checking this out! Now I know everything rather than leaving it as "some unid pirate and a jammer of some sort." This is the only time I've heard PPV Radio, so I didn't have other transmissions to compare it to.
