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.
