North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Pirate BBC Radio 6850 AM 2247 UTC 25 Sep 2015

Solid S7 here at 2249 UTC on 6850.2 AM with BBC commentary. Great audio!
2315 UTC Noticed the other posters comments about the clipped audio. I've been listening in USB (I usually do with AM signals), and the audio is much better with USB and a tweak of the Passband tuning knob and the appropriate graphic equalizer settings on the stereo. When I switch to AM, the audio sounds slightly muffled. There...you have an official Skipmuck  subjective analysis of the broadcast audio. Of course...I've lost about a third of my hearing from working in manufacturing all my adult life!
Still solid S7 here and quite intelligible!

Nice listenable signal here with Roy Orbison and our good friend BB talking over the song and giving everyone a "Good Morning". Not sure what he's calling himself today
2311 UTC Some Dutch festival music with ID..."This is Abu Dhabi" and a shoutout to Jari....
(Signal is rather erratic with some nice S4 peaks and deep fades into the noise)
2317 UTC Hmmm...maybe a shoutout to Skipmuckie and the HF Underground?

Solid S6 here with George Carlin at 0040 UTC. Abortion skit. Still some static and a peskie from 6970 LSB bleeding through even with the strong signal.
"The sanctity of life"
"The death penalty"
0055 UTC Signal starting to fade a bit towards the noise...George Carlin still on the Capital Punishment skit

« on: September 22, 2015, 2324 UTC »

Fair signal from Mr. Abu Johnny Tobacco this evening...think he said something about nobody heard him on the HF Underground?
Tough copy with freebanders in Spanish very loud on USB. Best here using LSB

2342 UTC C&W song...Johnny Cash?
2349 UTC I heard something about "born in 1942"

The statistical analysis is obviously flawed, as none of the sailors were reported to have gotten the "munchies".

I'm hearing some weak music here at 2346 UTC. Signal is right at threshold and can't make out the song.
Signal never made it out of the noise, but I heard an OM briefly at 0001 UTC
Carrier is S3 but audio seems to be really low. Now with ute QRM at 0004 UTC
