North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: unid on 6955 USB at 0030 utc.

« on: May 26, 2015, 0048 UTC »

S4/S5 here at 0045 UTC with another eclectic selection from the XLR8 musical library
0048 UTC Another tune of indeterminate origin
0101 UTC "Pop Music"-M (origin determined on this one )
0110 UTC "X-L-R-8" ID with some reverb!
0145 UTC and S7 peaks well above the noise....same level as TCS on 6876
0152 UTC Cool song! Wish I had Shazam...
0200 UTC SSTV! I gotta figure out how this MMSTV works....
Seems to be a varied number of ID's this evening amidst songs of indeterminate origin...funky tunes and punky tunes and others you can dance to....
0212 UTC And some reggae too!
0223 UTC "Fazon"-Sopwith Camel   Thanks XLR8! That was a funky tune for the early 70's! Awesome!
0232 UTC "Dear Mr. Fantasy"-Crosby, Stills, and Nash version from the CSN box set! Cool! Love that Stephen Stills wah wah pedal!
0239 UTC SSTV
0250 UTC Signal has dropped down to S5 peaks with the S-meter bouncing around a bit now....
0301 UTC "Waiting In Vain"-Bob Marley (there's one for DJ Dickweed!)
0316 UTC Hmmm...can't remember if that was the Radio Bangladesh or Radio Nepal Interval Signal there....is that the intro to a song? I'm getting old...it might have been All India Radio
0320 UTC SSTV
0322 UTC One final "X-L-R-8" and OFF
Hmmm....are you taking requests tonight XLR8? How about "Fazon" by Sopwith Camel? I think that's one that hasn't been ever played on pirate radio before


Thanks for the really long show tonight! It was appreciated, and thanks for the request too!

2319 UTC on 6935.3 KHZ with some finger picking just above the noise
Signal picked up just a bit around 2328 UTC with some good old boys singing and some fancy fiddle playing
2332 UTC I think there might have been a Radio Appalachia ID just now, followed by some more good time picking and fiddling
2337 UTC Clear ID by OM....You are listening to Radio Appalachia...
2351 UTC Local microinverter noise just went off and much clearer here S meter is bouncing from S1 -S6 though....
2356 UTC OM with clear ID, signature Three Stooges clip, then another ID....."High above Moundsville West Virginia...This is Radio Appalachia", followed by a live  Johnny Cash with medley including "I Walk The Line" (there...I know this one!)

Late posting here due to AOL landlines crashing in my area last night
0254 UTC With Dickweed and Stavin! DJ Dickweed mention of 3rd Anniversary and something about Stavins feeding tube and if he wants Dickweed to pull the plug if something happens....Stavin says no....he wants to be around forever! Then reading of the listeners posts on the HFU including redhat, krissy from UK, and a bunch of others.
Welcome back Assistant Stavin!

I have a fair carrier here at 9275.3 AM at 2326 UTC, but only bits of threshold audio at 2329 and 2330 UTC. Not enough to make out but it is music
2333 UTC OM with announcement, then clear music! Signal jumped up! S5 now with a C&W tune man singer
2336 UTC OM talkover during end of song with commentary
2337 UTC OM with several clear ID's and email address , then YL followed by "Time Has Come Today"-Chambers Bros
(2339 Signal dropped out to just above threshold during song)
2342 UTC OM talking but signal is still threshold
2346 UTC Signal back up to S3 now with "Let's Spend the Night Together"-Rolling Stones
-----------------------------
Late posting due to AOL crash around 0001 UTC or so just after the end of the Seeds-"Pushing Too Hard"...the dialup lines went out just as I was posting at this time! Good thing I didn't have one of those fancy SDR thingies

Fair to good here with erratic fading at 2047 UTC with music jingle and ID's by OM including clear ID in English as "Spaceshuttle Radio". Followed by a European vaudeville tune with a singer sounding like a foreign Leon Redbone
2055 UTC OM with another clear ID as "Radio Spaceshuttle International", into a folk tune with man singer and concertina accompaniment(That's what it sounds like!)
2059+ UTC OM with assumed closing announcement, then OFF at 2101 UTC
(I wish I had tuned in earlier! This was the best reception I've had yet...S5 peaks with deep fades, but some fair copy today. Thanks for the show RSI!)

The ethereal version of "Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)" is by a talented young lady by the name of Holly Mae Heinrich (stage name Holly Henry). She was a contestant on the TV program "The Voice".
