North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925 USB 2344 UTC 9Dec14

« on: December 09, 2014, 2346 UTC »

2344 some OM talk
2345 Soggy Bottom Boys
2348 More Old Timey mx?  Hearing yodeling.
2351 another old one; sung by George Clooney?
...walking the dog
0014 hearing a song with yodeling
0016 again hearing poss SBB, poss "Constant Sorrows"?
0019 OM talk, poss "Down to the River" - really hard to tell
0027 YL country or spiritual tune
0031 last musical audio heard
0034 Some CW down in the noise and under a blob of QRM which obscured most of it.  Very very tent picked out a poss ID
as WEZY.  I had to listen to the audio many times, and my confidence is not especially high.  The WPM seemed to be slower than the CW sent previously at ~0002 which was creamed here by noise.


Very weak and at the floor.
Any chance I can haz QSL?

Several SSTV frames.  With fading, I am not sure of how many.  I capped:

Scottie 1 at 0049


Scottie DX at 0055

I am hearing music intermittently right at the noise floor.

Really too weak to determine the genre.

2251 I think it is still there?
2253 still there in very brief fadeups
2254 OM talk
2257 sounds like YL or kid talking or both
2300 still there; will record while making din
2317 YL song now and the pork chops are burning; some pesc QRM
2342 hearing pescs only now

Thanks!

Too fast for my ear, and it took a couple of moments to get the decoder running.  Partial paraphrase from fair copy:

I AM COMING FOR YOU UNCLE SAM
BE AWARE
XXX XXX XXX XXX
something about IRATES
I KNOW WHERE YOU ARE

off at 0018z
thanks for the copy, Chris!

Recorder Catch on 6925 USB, mode unknown

Captured this (test?) at 0247, Scottie 1:


There was a second SSTV at 0303z, which sounded like Scottie1 also, but was too weak and fady for capture here.

On with an unid song.  At times it sounded like Hispanic mx, at other times it sounded like reggae.  Most of the time it sounded like calypso.

Very weak and right near the floor.

0021 Dance mx
0024 99% certain Liquid Radio ID, and back to dance    apparently not!
0028 a brief visitation by the Screamer:  http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,19573.0.html
0030 hearing a different ID?; "Radio Free ??"; it does sound like the LR op voice, tho...
0033 OM ID "Radio Free ??  Non-stop music"
0035 repeated IDs as at 0033; just tough to pull out
0039 The Screamer is back
0041 repeated RFG IDs, and back to music
0055 audio now sounds a bit hot?
0058 ID, repeated addy as radiogutterville at gmail dot com
0102 ID and addy repeated
0103 off

Good on peaks, but the band is going for me here.
The upward frequency drift is eerily similar to another AM which plays a lot of EDM.

Thanks for the show RFG!
