North American MW Pirate Radio / Undercover Radio 1720 AM 2327-0040 UTC 26 Nov 2020
« on: November 26, 2020, 2328 UTC »
Carrier tuning up and now abstract music signing on 1720 @ 2327 UTC.  S9

23:32z: Modulation suddenly came way up, sounding much better now.

North American MW Pirate Radio / Community Radio Network 1710 AM 0123 UTC 24 November 2020
« on: November 24, 2020, 0210 UTC »
Occasional music just above my noise floor, oldies including The Beatles, Tom Jones, Barry Manilow and others.  Live DJ between songs with live time checks.  Finally identified through web receivers as "Community Radio Network" near 0200 UTC top of hour mentioning a bunch of other frequencies and even a telephone number.  Searching this forum for "Community Radio Network" will turn up some logs of mine from two years ago of this station on 1710.  Signed off at 0300 UTC with "Community Radio Network" ID and ended with the National Anthem.

North American MW Pirate Radio / UNID 1711.5v AM 2300-2323 UTC 6 Nov 2020
« on: November 06, 2020, 2302 UTC »
Drifting downward from 1711.6 during initial tune-in about 20 minutes ago.  News broadcast (TV?) audio just above the noise floor, occasionally good peaks.

23:20z: Has drifted down to 1711.0 now with man repeating "test...test...test" and what sounds like microphone taps.
23:23z: Off

Longwave Loggings / 1118 UTC 19 Sept 2020: 530 "ADK" Aleutian Islands into Michigan
« on: September 20, 2020, 1358 UTC »
I stumbled onto ADK completely by accident yesterday morning while trying to identify a faint Trans-Pacific broadcast station on 531 when I noticed some code fading up on 531 & 529.  Turns out it was ADK.  I'm using a new DKAZ terminated loop @ 270° from West Michigan and the MW stuff it is pulling in is pretty nuts.  Here's the reception:

North American MW Pirate Radio / Radio Corsair 1710 AM 0050 UTC 13 Jan 2020
« on: January 13, 2020, 0052 UTC »
Poor with man talking just above the noise floor at 0050z and into music.  Guessing Radio Corsair but too weak understand any of the talk.

Checking out the top of the MW band and found music on 1710.  No ID yet but suspect Radio Corsair based on the spacey music.  S6 over moderate storm noise.

1720 is active right now, male speaking, some whistling heard.  Off at 0004 UTC and returned a few minutes later.  Barely above the noise floor here, unable to make out any speech.

North American MW Pirate Radio / Radio Corsair 1710 AM 0030 UTC 19 OCT 2019
« on: October 19, 2019, 0035 UTC »
Someone (maybe Radio Corsair?) with relaxing electronic music, strong at times but with long deep fades.  No announcements heard yet.

0146: ID and tech talk dialog regarding audio chain, transmitter, transmitting antenna, etc.

North American MW Pirate Radio / UNID Spanish(?) 1710 AM 0120 UTC 14 Oct 2019
« on: October 14, 2019, 0127 UTC »
Fair during fade-ups with Spanish (or Spanish religious?) music, no talk heard.  Best on the South wire.

Longwave Loggings / LWBC: 153 Romania into Michigan 27 Sept 2019
« on: October 02, 2019, 0040 UTC »
0002 UTC: I was doing a casual bandscan a few nights ago of the LWBC channels and came upon weak music on 153.  I've never heard anything on 153 before, not even a carrier, so this intrigued me.  I was able to match up this music with Romania's SRR Antena Satelor:

So..a new one for the log book!

North American MW Pirate Radio / Radio Corsair 1710 AM 0003 UTC 25 Sep 2019
« on: September 25, 2019, 0007 UTC »
Weak under heavy static and best on my North antenna with relaxing instrumental music.  This definately isn't Tater Patch Radio.  Also found it on the Rockport, Maine Kiwi SDR with a much better signal.  Guessing this is the same one that Chris Lobdell reported a few days ago on 1710.

EDIT: ID and email heard at 0043 UTC with what sounded like Radio Corsair with email address and solicitation of reception reports(!)

Off at 0153 UTC with no further announcements.

Thanks for the nice music and the ID!

0302z: Hearing music, possibly Adele's Someone Like You, very faint bubbling up from the noise floor on the North antenna.
0317z: another fade-up with slow female vocals, possibly a country song.

« on: December 23, 2018, 0124 UTC »
Huge S9 signal and sounding great at sign-on a few minutes ago.  Looking forward to the Christmas show - thanks Redhat!

Off-air recording capturing most of the show with a good signal the majority of the time:

North American MW Pirate Radio / Community Radio Network 1710 AM 0144 UTC 19 December 2018
« on: December 19, 2018, 0146 UTC »
Presumed the Community Radio Network station with old time crooner music, just above the noise floor here but fair on the occasional fade-ups.

0207z: The First Noel and into announcement and what sounded like a live time check.

Utility / MW Arctic coastal maritime logs Nov. 28, 2018
« on: December 08, 2018, 2100 UTC »
Here are two new logs captured from a SDR recording while monitoring 1710 for pirates and other oddities.  These are weak signals, so the use of headphones is encouraged! 

1713 kHz Vardų Radio, just a few kHz above the BCB broadcast band and located at the Northern tip of Norway, with maritime report in Norwegian language:  https://youtu.be/S0yYRPrrSnc

1731 kHz Svalbard Islands, a little stronger and also in Norwegian with maritime report: https://youtu.be/hUwtV7RgIUE

Svalbard is about as North as one can get for a radio station carrying any kind of voice transmission and probably qualifies as my most Northern logged station to date.

There are several coastal maritime stations still operating between 1710-1800 kHz that make great DX targets.
