European Pirates and Private Stations / Laser International (relay by Magic) 15700 KHZ AM 1448 UTC DEC 7, 2014

« on: December 07, 2014, 1500 UTC »

I'm hearing dance music/European pop at fair level with fading here at 1448 UTC. Man announcer at 1450 UTC but not sure of ID. Pop tune followed, then Man announcer again at 1500 UTC. I believe this is our good friend Magic6205 testing here, but not sure if relaying Laser Hot Hits or something else!
1510 UTC Signal dropped into the noise but rising out now and then. "Celebration Time"-Kool & the Gang

Thanks Jari! Propagation is a bit choppy here but I was pretty sure it was a relay of LHH! Nice to have you back LHH and Magic relay!
1524 UTC Signal just jumped up here to S7! Familiar 80's pop tune, then clear ID by man at 1525 as Laser International

Rock solid signal here with great audio on this memorable day

Also received this here in the Skipmuck real world mailbox along with one for the QRP test previously posted as eQSL! Thanks Z! Old timers like myself still walk out to the mailbox hoping to find something besides bills and other species of junk mail. Just like the old days!

Hi Sluwe! I have you here in Western Massachusetts at 1307 UTC with a fair signal with deep bouncing fades. A song is playing right now, but I don't know the name of it. Band conditions are rather shaky this morning! Peaks are at S3 maximum.
1314 UTC Man announcer heard, but I couldn't copy! Propagation is just too choppy and signal is just above the noise floor at best.
1319 UTC ID, into UNID rock tune (signal popped up for a bit at 1820 UTC)
1323 UTC Signal buried in the noise now
Thanks for the broadcast Sluwe! Too bad the prop is not cooperating
1330 UTC Signal rising in and out of the noise now!
1335 UTC Man announcer...partial copy talkover during song.

Here also since 0031 UTC tune in with strange electronic ambient music at S4. Free form percussion
