With my antique dial up connection, it will take awhile to load that YouTube, so I'll go out and shovel some snow and give it a listen a bit later
Hmmm...while in Iann's chat last night enjoying a Stress Radio birthday musical extravaganza for Skipmuckie, it was mentioned that it is someone else's Birthday today. A certain Mr. BA...if this is you, well...Happy Birthday Mr. BA

Yes Black Arrow! That was the song I heard. I followed up on this with a google search and I was mistaken, as "The Happy Organ" was by Dave "Baby" Cortez. Hey, I was only 4 years old when the song came out I may have turned 60 yesterday, but I remember back that far better than I remember the early 70's....

Uhhh, was that the name of the song I heard?


Late Update: (drum roll....and the name of the song is)

European Pirates and Private Stations / "Radio Stress" 6400 KHZ AM 2352 UTC FEB 21, 2015

« on: February 22, 2015, 0004 UTC »

An old friend with a new name is pounding in here with a really nice S8 signal this evening at 2352 UTC. Thank for the tip DimBulb!
Played "Old Man Down the Road"-John Fogerty, and various tunes including some Elvis Presley. Wished Skipmuck a Happy Birthday...thanks...Stress Radio!
Moved to 6396 KHZ at 0049 UTC and signal is now S9 here! Played "I Won't Back Down", then "Tear in My Beer", followed by a polka by the name of "Just Because You Think You're Pretty". Thanks for the songs...Stress Radio :

The fun part of listening to this station of many names is if you are logged into Iann's chat room, he reads the comments and responds to them on air!

I'm hearing weak music just above the noise here at 2140 UTC tune in. Still awhile to sunset, so maybe signal will improve!

Fair signal here just above the noise at 1421 UTC tune in with "Don't You Forget About Me"-Simple Minds already in progress
1423 UTC Sounded like a C&W tune man singer, then off abrupt at 1424 UTC

(Can't remember the last time there were 2 shows going at the same time on a Saturday morning! Thanks whoever!)

Fair to good signal mostly above the noise here with Z talking at 1415 UTC and clear ID, into music-lady singer at 1416 UTC
1424 UTC A rather off key version of a familiar song
1427 UTC Z with mention of a tribute to "punk singers who have passed away" Next song by Poly Styrene singer (Marianne Joan Elliott-Said) who died of breast cancer at age 53
1433 UTC Z talking about not having been on for 4 months (so this is a rebroadcast), and about Andy Walker's programs (sent out about 35 QSL's), and how much Andy appreciates the response! Also mentioned the names of some listeners who sent in reports to the mail drop address.
1455 UTC UNID punk tune man singer
1500 OFF after Channel Z jingle..."last channel you'll ever need"

Thanks for the tribute show to influential punk singers who have passed away! I was only marginally into punk music over the years, but it made a lot of folks happy! Kudos to Channel Z for the remembrance

EDIT:Had to look up the artist who did "People Who Died"...It was the Jim Carroll band. Jim Carroll died in 2009 at the age of 60

Just above the noise here at 2354 UTC tune in with man announcer with ID and mention of those who "lost their lives". Really tough copy here with a loud peskie on LSB, but I am hearing Neil Young's voice at 0001 UTC...an unreleased track called "Give Me Strength" played during his 1976 tour
0019 UTC "Nothing Is Perfect"-Neil Young"
0034 UTC I'm hearing more Neil Young now....Throw Your Hatred Down with Pearl Jam from Mirror Ball
0037 UTC ROR op with mentions of reception reports to raveonradio@gmail.com and then shoutouts to all the posters here (Thanks ROR!), then mention of this being a memorial show for the Station Night Club Fire. (This is the anniversary of this tragic event that happened in West Warwick, Rhode Island)
0053 UTC ROR op..."Station Night Club Fire Memorial Show" and OFF

Thanks for the show tonight ROR! To think that these 100 people, who were out for a night of good music and a good time would suffer such a horrible death is enough to make any grown person cry. Thanks for the remembrance of this tragic event

Tuned in at 0030 UTC to some ethereal tunage at a nice steady S7 signal with just a hint of noise.
0110 UTC Still going strong here XLR8...thanks for the usual eclectic mix of tunes that I've never heard before!  

Can't quite place that superb live version of Light My Fire...thought it might have been Philadelphia 1970, but maybe Detroit 1970? Thanks for that one XLR8

Skip,  Agree!  As I listened last night and watched on the scope clearly these are two different stations. I started a new thread with the UNID and somehow it was merged into this Apres Wolverine thread.  

MrMomB...There seemed to be a lot of confusion as Wolverine has been known to come back on after the end of his programs and play a request made in the postings. I was uncertain about it and I did notice the two separate threads! I think it was a good idea to call this "Apres Wolverine"...Apres=After in French! It is still basically UNID! So the merging of the 2 threads was a good idea. In the half hour after the Wolverine closedown, I thought it might have been 2 different broadcasters, but the first two SSTV and the one at the latter part of the program are all Robot24 SSTV, so I think it was all the same broadcast...not Wolverine though! Pirate ops are always doing cool things like messing with the listeners....it's what makes pirate radio the enjoyable hobby that makes us keep coming back for more! We're gullible, easily misled, and pliant in the face of adversity in our pursuit of the QSL's.  

ChrisSmol...Did you get a clearer pic of the second SSTV than JFarleys? And in the 3rd SSTV...is that a rabbit, a squirrel, or a chihuahua

Been listening and recording to listen back tomorrow since just after WMID signed off. Steady S6/S7 here and sounding pretty good through the stereo system. Just finished playing "Ride Captain Ride"-Blues Image
