Shortwave Pirate / HOT LEGS RADIO 6924.2 AM 0100 UTC NOV 16, 2014

« on: November 16, 2014, 0105 UTC »

Thought I heard Frankenstein by Edgar Winter, followed by an UNID song with pesky QRM
Hmmm, I'm hearing a girl group tune now at 0108 UTC. Damn peskies
0112 UTC Signal picked up nicely over the last minute....lady singer with UNID pop tune
(strong enough to tune in better...I changed subject to 6924.2!)
0118 UTC Lady? Announcer gave email address, but I could only make out the ?radio@gmail.com part
(I listened back on the recording and a lady announcer gave an ID during Frankenstein, and again after Frankenstein, before the first song. Just can't make it out...my hearing is a little raw from using a high powered gas leaf blower all afternoon )

EDIT: Now that my ears have recovered, I relistened this morning and I'm sure the ID is Hot Legs Radio, and the email is hotlegsradio@gmail.com

Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6925 LSB 0048 UTC NOV 14, 2014

« on: November 14, 2014, 0055 UTC »

I'm hearing music on 6925 LSB amidst some loud peskies here. Not sure if peskie related. Very interesting music! Not what I would expect a peskie to play....hmmm
0105 UTC Seems to be off now...
Listened back on the recording...OFF at 0103 UTC just like Mr. Farley posted! Is that what the instrument was before signoff? Kalimba? Nice sound!

Huh? / ADOPT A PENGUIN

« on: November 13, 2014, 2335 UTC »

I chanced upon this absolutely wonderful website where for a small sum of money, you can adopt your own personal penguin! It seems to be on the up and up and I think it's a great and novel idea for the upcoming holidays! Be the first one on your block! Link below

Other / UNID 6919 LSB? 0008 UTC NOV 12, 2014

« on: November 12, 2014, 0013 UTC »

I'm getting something that sounds like an IS and ID in Russian here... May be DSB...hard to tune in. Seems to be some kind of celeste sounds and I think I heard the word Govorit in there somewhere. Intermittent music and man announcer
0019 UTC Sounds like a QSO in UNID language
0026 UTC Intermittent music...
Listened back on the recording and it sounds like someone playing nondescript tunes on an electronic keyboard with random talk by a man in UNID language, QSO between 2 men in same language, more intermittent "calliope" or "celeste" music and man said something at 0031 UTC and OFF. Very strange!

NOT your average run of the mill peskie!

MW Free Radio / Radio Free Whatever 1720 AM 000? Nov 9, 2014

« on: November 09, 2014, 0021 UTC »

I've had 1720 on since the end of the PRB 22nd show, and I thought Undercover stayed on, but around 0000 or so the RFW Halloween Spooktacular show is being played again! Nice signal here with some deep fades. Spooky music
Prop is all over the place tonight! Around 0025 UTC the signal was buried in the noise. In the next few minutes, it bounced back up to S8 here! Somebody posted last night calling this "Swiss Cheese Propagation"
