Shortwave Pirate / Wolverine Radio 6952 KHZ to 6950 KHZ USB 0119 UTC MAY 26, 2014 UTC

« on: May 26, 2014, 0121 UTC »

Something here at 0121 UTC with intermittent signal.
0122 UTC Powerhouse S9+ signal now with blues song by lady singer
0124 UTC Man announcer with badly distorted signal breaking up, into song by lady singer also distorted.
Ooops....6950 KHZ...don't know if I was tuned to the wrong frequency or Wolverine switched from 6952 to 6950!
Nope....I listened back to the recording and just after the Wolverine Radio ID at 0124, a mans voice was heard saying..."back to 50 where it's supposed to be". A rare moment of Wolverine Radio op actually speaking! Cool! Signal distorted after that because he switched to 6950 and I had to retune!
0150 UTC Whopping signal here at S9+20 at peaks!!!

Shortwave Pirate / UNID 6772.6 KHZ AM MAY 20, 2014 2225 UTC

« on: May 20, 2014, 2227 UTC »

The mysterious old time radio is on again with fair signal here above a rather low noise floor. Anyone have any ideas on this? Tuned in at 2225 UTC....Lone Ranger. S5-S6 signal with good copy.
2232 UTC Signal dropped down a bit, just above noise floor.
2322 UTC Still going, but not strong enough for good copy...I wonder if it was like this in the old days, straining through the noise on the old family console...
0022 UTC Still going! Tough copy, but audible above the noise.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Island Radio 6221 KHZ AM APRIL 26 & 27, 2302-0020 UTC

« on: April 26, 2014, 2326 UTC »

I'm hearing some audio on about 6221 KHZ here just above the noise floor since 2302 UTC with man announcer at 2304 UTC. Best here in USB....No ID on songs until 2321 UTC with "My Sharona"-The Knack.
Since 2330 UTC some nice peaks during the songs played...."Easy Like Sunday Morning", "All Day and All of the Night"-Kinks, "Rocky Mountain Way"-Joe Walsh, "Cold Turkey"-John Lennon, "Blinded By the Light"-Manfred Mann, "What Becomes of the Broken Hearted". Man announcer with ID's that I can't make out, but I did hear mention of 6221 KHZ at 2352 and 2359 UTC.
{I thought they ID'd as Iceland Radio, but thanks for the proper ID from refmo!}

EDIT- Listened back on the cassette tape this morning and several clear ID's of "Island Radio on 6221 Kilohertz". Also ID'd some more tunes...amazing what you can do with a simple 7 band graphic equalizer...old technology works for me! SDR and Shazam are simply not in the budget for the foreseeable future...
