European Pirates and Private Stations / Radio Tower 6306 KHZ AM 2221 UTC DEC 20, 2014

« on: December 20, 2014, 2227 UTC »

I'm getting music fading in and out rather quickly here at 2221 UTC. Man announcer I think at 2222 UTC, then music again. Fading in and out of the noise floor but peaking at S2/S3

Thanks for the ID Chris S! The signal is rising in and out of the noise too fast to get a good ID, although I can hear the announcer each time. Mostly UNID European pop tunes, but nice to hear any Euro at all these days

« on: December 14, 2014, 1056 UTC »

Caught this on a last minute bandscan at 0343 UTC with the usual zany mixture of nonsensical numbers and utterings by man and woman announcer, Lincolnshire Poacher IS, then some beeps, IS and OFF abruptly at 0353 UTC. Signal was about an S5, mostly above the noise with some fading. Nice to hear this one again...it's been awhile!
