Making it into the Thumb of Michigan well tonight too with that ‘unusual’ choice of carrierless DSB modulation.

Sounds ok but still ‘odd’.

Kinda in the noise, but popping up occasionally with pop/rock music
I think there was an ID at :06 -- more ear time is needed

In Michigan's Thumb with the RSPdx at the moment ....

Not quite as strong, but making it into the Thumb of Michigan at 2115-2130.

SINPO 3543+3 -- occasional fades into the noise floor, but when in VERY nice sounding audio as MRI always have.

They ID’d at :25 as MRI and went into more soul with Howard Johnson’s “So Fine”.

Soul music like Smokey Robinson at tune in, Bootsie’s Rubber Band’s “Hollywood Squares” and Patrice Rushen “forget me not”

No ID yet and no ancmts in 16 minutes.

‘Different’ music (and anything different is good!)

C’mon and ID guys!

SINPO 454+4+4+ in south central lower Michigan. NICE stuff.

Making it into Central lower Michigan decent signal, I'm going to give him a 35443+.

But playing music and trying to send a SSTV at the same time at 0250 just didn't work. The SSTV of Joe Satriani's "Live in San Francisco" cassette cover came over well before then, but SSTV doesn't 'play well' with other audio at the same time -- maybe that was a 'whoops'?

I am presuming the CW and the one SSTV was the ID? He seems to be just playing this album/tape....

A bit sketchy signal on the north coast but the ID I heard was ‘Sky Radio’ — a europirate or someone relaying them? The ancmts sounded Dutch to my ear. …

Sugar Sugar and Doobie Brother’s ‘listen to the music just before that ID. …

Making it to south central Michigan on 4185/u ok. 44443+.
A bit stronger and you’d overcome my local noise but as it is — that’s poking through.

“Reproductive” and “Fixing Motorcycles” …. Indie rock I can’t say I’ve heard of but good for Dickweed that he actually announces titles!

Weak but decent. 34+3 in south central lower Michigan.

Those 'spooky sound effects' were often 'waterfall' images
of ghosts, pumpkins or space aliens ... if I could figure out how to post an image
here I would .....  can someone explain what to put between the  tags?

at 2115 I'm giving it a 35443+ sinpo ....

Noticed this as I tuned away from Mix Radio International which was banging in on 9640/U.

THIS was way down in the mud ... and the music was better modulated than the voice, but there is an ID at the end .... I've listened twice now and it is TEASINGLY close to being decipherable.
GOT IT on the third try, foxyam @ protonmail. com 
ID at s/off "My transmitter is about to catch fire at 0033:30 23/Sep ....

North American Shortwave Pirate / "555" Morse code 6960 USB / 6961 CW 0130 UTC 25 Mar 2021

« on: March 25, 2021, 0150 UTC »

I and others in Michigan have been hearing "555" sent in Morse code repeatedly since at least 2300 (it is still going at 0145 but starting to fade a bit).

There is apparently some sort of 'carrier' at 6960 but the code is clearly at 6961.

Does anyone have a clue about this?
