No one said you were,Al. You just go to the conventions because you're nerd-curious. There's nothing wrong with that,right?
Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
6950 was nothing but blasting data transmissions 24/7 for about a year after 9/11, and on and off until sometime in roughly in '03/'04. We all decided moving south would be a good idea and gradually moved to 6925 over a couple of months in late '01/early '02. WHYP was the first to make the move, if I'm not mistaken?
6955 has been open since the Chilean domestic moved from 6956.5 nearly a decade ago. However 6955 is a back up frequency for the Canadian Air Force. I think I've heard them there once in 15 years, but it is something to be aware of.
As for the pescadores, they're as illegal as we are. I always signed on over top of them.
Where's Dr. Tornado when he's needed? He could always clear the band of pescadores.

When you said "Taglish" I knew something was up.
I had an Aunt by marriage from Samar. She knocked the submissive Asian woman stereotype into the creek. That was one tough little woman.

What about knobs? Are they aftermarket or do they come with the radio?

BTW, hurricane season is here. The Hurricane net's in the Southeast generally use the area around 6915 in LSB. I heard one of them a couple of months back doing a preseason net check on 6913.5

You could be right. Azorean fisherman have been working the Grand Banks (and those further south) for over 500 years. There's a large Azorean community in Rhode Island and Mass. The "Deep Audio Guy" could be network control for a segment of the fishing fleet.

No I don't. I rarely log stations.
You used to hear it around Halloween, but those could have been relays of old shows.

« on: July 30, 2013, 1613 UTC »Years ago 6950 and 6955 were all the rage. I don't recall what caused everyone to move to 6925, but are those reasons still valid? I know that they still get used, although infrequently, and they have had their own interference problems.

A few times. It might be scary if you were say, eight or nine, but it is different.

General Radio Discussion / Re: Poll: Favorite albums
« on: July 29, 2013, 0637 UTC »
Glimmer, I like anyone who knows the difference between The Wailers and Bob Marley and The Wailers. (Plus, I own all five of the albums on your list.)
I'm going to go with what I consider to be "perfect albums" they flow and there's not a bad song on them.
Here we got in sort of chronological order;
Howling Wolf- "The Rocking Chair Album" (It didn't have an actual title, just a picture of rocking chair and a guitar)
The Beatles -Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
Pink Floyd- Dark Side of The Moon
Burning Spear - Live (at Hammersmith Palais)
The New York Dolls - The New York Dolls
The Patti Smith Group - Horses
Gil-Scott Herron - From South Africa to South Carolina (Hell, any of Gil's 70's work is outstanding.)
Leon Russell - Will 'o The Wisp (I bet that threw a surprise into a few of you.)
The Ramones - Rocket To Russia
The Psychedelic Furs - India
Marianne Faithful- Broken English
The Clash - Combat Rock
REM- Murmur
The Dead Milkmen - Beezlebubba (No,I'm not kidding.)
The Breeders - Pod
Beck - Mellow Gold (Beck's a DJ, he knows how to put an album together.)
All of them have a flow and a basic structure from beginning to end. They're not a bunch of songs slapped together in a random order.
