I'm getting mostly just a weak carrier here on 6925.3 KHZ since 2348 UTC, but did get a sudden burst of music from 2357-2359 UTC. Not sure what song was playing, but it did drown out the peskies on 6925 LSB for a couple of minutes

S7 here at 2215 UTC tune in with C&W tune man singer. Silence for a minute, then a Country Rock tune by Man singer. Great audio with a little bit of fading
2220 UTC Man announcer?, then another C&W tune
2225 UTC OFF?
2227 UTC Back on again with C&W tune (man singing about an International Harvester!)
2231 UTC sounded like a lady announcer talking!
(I listened back on the recording and at 2220 UTC a man said..."?? number 644...never pass up the impossible ?), then into C&W song)
EDIT (After listening back again, there were 4 ID's by the lady announcer at 2231 UTC and 3 of them were different! WRRI-Radio Random International, Radio Random International-WRRI, and Radio Random International...not sure of the other one!)

General Radio Discussion / Re: Favorite SW station that no longer exists?

« on: November 02, 2014, 1139 UTC »

In the 1980's there were so many broadcasters to chose from that it was difficult to pick a favorite! I used to listen almost nightly to Radio Exterior de Espana with their powerhouse signal to the East Coast of North America on 11880. Well produced and informative programs as well as some really good indigenous music!
 
 Another favorite was WRNO in the first couple of years, especially with Glenn Hausers program. But the one station I always found fascinating was Radio Gjirokaster from Albania on 5057 KHZ. It was heard here fairly regular and sometimes with a really good signal. It was SO much different than the stale propaganda that Tirana was putting out at the time. Gjirokaster seemed to be the alter ego, with lots of wild gypsy music. It was seemingly a station of mad abandon.
