North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Eclipse 6925 USB 1916 UTC March 26, 2017

« on: March 26, 2017, 1923 UTC »

Tuned into just in time to hear the end of Billy Joel-Still Rock and Roll to me, then announcer going into a rant about pirate radio and gave several IDs of Radio Eclipse. Strong signal, swings back and forth between S5-S7. After that, Louis Armstrong-What a wonderful world, then signoff at 1922z.

Hearing them here with a weak but growing signal, was in the noise earlier but is peaking to S3 now. I believe this is probably the first euro pirate I've caught.

0021z: Possible ID- Radio Oleg?

Signal is weak here, same level as the noise, plus I'm getting a lot of static crashes from some distant storms from what it sounds like.

From what I understand, the music is only while they are still testing and that eventually they will be switching to a talk format. Too bad they couldn't just do that during the day and keep the music at night, kinda like what WRCR used to do before they switched to whatever they're running now.

Getting just a carrier on 2325 and 2485 here, but conditions are just right on 4835 because it is just strong enough to hear some audio down in the noise, and WWCR on 4840 is extremely weak this morning, actually hearing 4835 slightly better.

CW ID at 0015, caught me off guard so I don't even have a guess as to what it was. Pretty steady at an S4 here, and at 0017 as I'm typing this they gave another CW ID, which I didn't catch again.

Shortwave Broadcast / Helliniki Radiophonia 9420 khz and 9935 khz 0106 UTC 27 Jan 2017

Hearing both frequencies tonight with Greek music and a female announcer. 9420 is the strongest, hovering around S9, while 9935 hovers around S7 on the satellit 800. This is one of my favorite stations on shortwave, I like the music and have had it on about all evening.

Shortwave Broadcast / Radio Rebelde schedule change?

« on: January 27, 2017, 0101 UTC »

Noticed within the last week that Radio Rebelde has been absent from 5025 in the evenings when I get home from work (2300 UTC, 6PM EST) but this morning I flipped the radio on before work (around 7 AM EST, 1200 UTC) and they were on then. Anyone else notice this change too? They used to be on 24/7 I thought.

That station always seemed to me like a sketchy operation, I contacted them once several years ago with some questions about the station (what kind of equipment they ran, how much power were they running, etc.) and the answer I got back was something to the effects of because they were an international broadcast station, that information was confidential and could not be given out, which I kinda took as meaning they probably aren't actually running anything close to being legal.

S5 with instrumental music right now.

0020-cut off then back on a about 10 seconds later, possibly the same thing that was just on 6933 that moved down a little.

0008 they went off then came back, then off again now at 0009 they are back on with Alan Jackson-Chattahoochee, S5 here.

0013-Alan Jackson-I'll Try (part way through the music cut out and I was hearing what sounded like Spanish, almost like a peskie, must sure like Alan Jackson , wonder if this is the same group that everyone was hearing on 6919 earlier)
