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!

2243 UTC, good signal into West Michigan with "Playing a full set of Hank Williams...", mentioned being the last show of the year with a possible return later tonight.  S6 during audio peaks with no interference or noise.  Thanks for the show!

Doing very well into West Michigan right now at 2237 UTC with techno dance music and frequent IDs, some fading but overall very good, no headphones required!

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.

No ID yet, but assuming this is R. Ga Ga: S3-S4 signal with song "Under Pressure" right now at 1608 UTC, not the strongest signal but very clear with no noise or interference to contend with.

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.

Here's a recording I made of the reception with the filters opened up to 20 khz, it's a little over an hour long:

I really enjoyed the broadcast too!

Really making a good impression tonight here too, with high energy dance music right now and a wideband signal nearing FM quality.  Signal is mostly S9, sometimes peaking to 10 over, very crisp and clear.  Best I've heard in a long time.  Thanks for the show!

Just tuned into AC/DC at 0231 UTC 6930usb, now with live announcement and shout outs to listener reports.  S5-S7 signal over much static on the band.  First time hearing this one - thanks for the show!

Static is bad here tonight but Rave On Radio is cutting through it.  "Broadcasting from a studio in the woods" at 0132 UTC, mentioned Labor Day show at sign on and using a Coleman generator.  Signal is S5 to S6 against high noise level here.  Thanks for the show!

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.

Fishing Drift Net Beacons / Re: FISHING NET BEACONS

« on: January 29, 2011, 0150 UTC »

Has anyone heard any fishing net beacons and the frequencies.

Yep! Here's a mini-log of fishnet beacons I've been hearing between 1720 & 1800 khz. The 1725 khz beacon probably isn't fishing related as it doesn't match the patterns of the rest, it's still a mystery. "?" means the signal was too weak to copy the full ID. These are all very faint signals that would be difficult to discover without the aid of the SDR's waterfall display - see screenshots below. These beacons are thought to run about 4 to 10 watts output, locations unknown, and a challenge to hear:

Did the station sign off at any point in the morning, or are they on around the clock (evenings?)  The only thing coming in here on 1610 are the two Canadians right now.
