European Pirates and Private Stations / Laser Hot Hits via Magic 15700 KHZ AM 1541 UTC Oct 26, 2014

« on: October 26, 2014, 1621 UTC »

Tuned in to a killer signal on 15700 KHZ at 1541 UTC with Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. Great audio and signal peaking as high as S9 here in Western MA. Testing is working out really well and this should be heard well into the US! It's now 1620 UTC and signal is excellent...program of European R & B and techno dance tunes mostly.
1702 UTC Jingle..."Take another long hit on the bong at Laser Hot Hits"

Very weak here, but able to ID "Just Another Brick In the Wall"-Pink Floyd at 1407 UTC tune in. Was able to hear bits and pieces of man announcer and music popping up over the noise floor, but otherwise poor copy. Thanks for the test though Trans Europe!

FM Free Radio / UNID 92.5 FM Pompano Beach pirate busted

« on: October 17, 2014, 2136 UTC »

If you are into pirate radio, you are doing the FM ops a great disservice by reporting your loggings. The FCC does not take kindly to AM or FM "Free" operations in the US. They warn you, then they slam you with a large fine if you are stupid enough to ignore the warning! It is just too easy to track down an FM pirate...you can pretty much do it with a boom box with a whip antenna. FM Free Radio just ain't free

MARC-NUS CHARLES. Issued a monetary forfeiture in the amount of $20,000 to Marc-Nus Charles for operating a pirate radio station in Pompano Beach, Florida. Action by: Regional Director, South Central Region, Enforcement Bureau. Adopted: 10/16/2014 by Forfeiture Order. (DA No. 14-1486). EB   DA-14-1486A1.docx  DA-14-1486A1.pdf
