Dr. Benway on now with the 20th anniversary special, sounding better tonight than all previous nights I've heard him on 1710.
Seems to be off (or faded out) now at 0330 UTC

0026utc just above the S3 noise floor with ID by Dr. Benway at 0028utc and talk that was only about 25% understandable, mentioned broadcasting at Big Sur (I don't think he was referring to present time). Signal came up a bit at 0035utc but disappeared for me at 0037utc.

Dr. Benway on the air again tonight right now at 0330utc on 1710 khz AM. Radio Celestial is stronger tonight making reception a bit more difficult. Undercover Radio sounding decent during signal fade-ups over Celestial though. Thanks Dr.!

Signed on 1710 with a massive AM signal shortly after Dr. Benway moved up to 1720 khz at 0557 UTC. Oldies music, strange "The GE Superadio at eBay" ads, "Midnight Man" announcer, etc.

0612 utc sign-on with oldies song, abruptly off at 0614 mid song, and returned at 0618 with hard rock song followed by the usual oldies music, pro sounding jingles, old Coca-Cola ads, etc. Nice big AM signal. Always enjoy these shows, but damn it's late!

Just caught an ID for Undercover Radio at 0344 UTC on 1710 khz and into Chris Isaac's "I want to fall in love" song. Signal in and out and mostly fair, seems to be coming up a bit. As always, best here in usb to avoid 1700 splatter. Thanks for the show!

First noted at 2233 utc with a big signal and bluegrass music. I had to walk away but left the SDR recording. I came back a few minutes later and noticed the signal was almost completely gone. Playing back the SDR recording, the signal took a major dive at 2236 utc, from S9 to almost nothing. Interesting. I need to read up on this "going long" thing. Looks like I just experienced it, and now I have a nice SDR recording to analyze!

Hearing Dr. Benway & Undercover Radio with readings and music that's tough to describe :-) Signal just above my S4 noise floor, weak but steady on 1710 khz AM, best heard in usb to dodge 1700 splatter. Thanks for the broadcast!

6924.6 khz AM, sign on at 1903 UTC with church bells and into ID followed by music. Sounds like issues with the transmitter cutting in and out, Christmas music now (sounds like a music box) at 1921 UTC, signal S8-S9 still with occasional signal dropouts.

Heard via remote Perseus receiver in North Carolina (unheard here in MI.) with music and mention of a 2007 rebroadcast by Dr. Benway, weak signal and tough to make out due to local RFI just above 1710 khz on the remote receiver.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Rave on Radio 6925u 0013z
« on: May 08, 2011, 0022 UTC »
Heard "Rave on Radio" soliciting reception reports here. "This is a test of Rave on Radio", "broadcasting from a studio in the woods" repeated a few times, nothing more (yet). Signal poor but it's getting out. Audio available upon request.

North American MW Pirate Radio / 1710 khz AM - "The Big Q"
« on: November 06, 2010, 1033 UTC »
I'm assuming this is a pirate and not a part 15 AM station due to references of the movie Pirate Radio. Has anyone else heard this station before? A Google search turned up only one other logging by another mystified MW DXer.
1710 khz UNID "You're listening to the the midnight man on the Big Q" -
UTC 0940-1033+ 11/6/2010 - I'm hearing an oldies stations here playing
1960s/1970s stuff with announcements between songs like "You're
listening to the Big Q". Very good signal right now at S7 way over
Radio Soleil with slight warble to audio. Songs heard include Beach
Boys "Help me Rhonda", Temptations "My Girl" sung by gravely voiced guy,
"Chantilly Lace", etc. Ad for "GE Super Radio on eBay" and other
weirdness. The announcer mentioned something about the movie "pirate
radio" and said it had nothing on his operation. Pirate? Part 15? Don't
know! Very professional sounding.
