Just caught the last couple minutes of the xmsn.

2245  Bits of "Ruby Tuesday" and "Angie" by The Rolling Stones.
2246  M w/ID w/heavy effects on the voice sounding like "The FCC.  My name is Yah-Ma-nique.  This is Yah-Ma-nique Radio".  Couldn't copy the name because of the heavy effects.  Any idea who this would be???

Fairly good signal.  Clear and no QSB.

North American Shortwave Pirate / 7610 Unidentified 16 April 2016 2303, 2308

« on: April 17, 2016, 1452 UTC »

I heard the Unidentified on 7610 last evening as well.  I believe the ID that Skipmunk heard was for Radio Veronica.  At least that's what it sounds like to me.  Must have been someone rebroadcasting a program of Radio Veronica.  Red Beacon perhaps??  Here's a link to a Youtube video I made which includes the mention of Veronica.

North American Shortwave Pirate / 13 February 2016 UNID 6150 at 2222, good signal

« on: February 13, 2016, 2225 UTC »

Found someone on 6150 at 2222 playing "Fly Like an Eagle" by Steve Miller.  Good signal.  Don't know who it is yet.  My guess is either Channel Z or R. Illuminati.
