10/11 meters / UNID Irish Church Station 27640.8 KHZ AM? 1803 UTC FEB 7, 2015

« on: February 08, 2015, 1637 UTC »

I neglected to log this yesterday. My first Irish Church Station! Heard from 1803-1806 UTC on 27640.8 KHZ(That's what I wrote down). I'm pretty certain it was AM, but I used USB to listen due to some annoying hets. Seemed to just disappear at 1806 UTC. This is an interesting area of DXing that I would like to explore a bit further!

Just came in from running errands and I'm getting a very solid S7 signal here with minor fading. Man announcer at 1443 UTC mentioning that he was closing down, into "Eyes Without A Face"-Billy Idol, then at 1446 UTC a Chris Montez song I think is called "Happy Organ". Off after song without ID at 1449 UTC
(Whoever you were I you were putting in a great signal here with excellent audio!) Thanks

Awesome! This was my first pirate logged sometime in 1982!!! Brings back some great memories of pirate radio back before the days of the internet

Hearing the late great R F Burns voice again reminds me of how much he sounded like Joe Adimov from Radio Moscow's "Moscow Mailbag".

You never knew when or where on the shortwave bands RC would turn up..sometimes in the middle of the shortwave broadcast bands!

OFF at 0057 UTC
Thank you very much to the relayer for this show! You made my whole week with this! Ahhh, the old days

Very weak audio here since 2115 UTC slowly improving. 2134 UTC, I believe is Ozzie Osbourne with a tune of which the name escapes me at the moment.
2141 UTC Man announcer, into a hard rocking tune...hair band or maybe AC/DC?
2145 UTC Man announcer with clear mention of "Enterprise Radio", into what sounded like a version of "Hey Joe"-maybe Jimi Hendrix?
2149 UTC Lady announcer repeating something over music
2152 UTC "Kashmir"-Led Zeppelin (signal is S3 here and above the noise!

2210 UTC Good copy here in Western MA!!! Signal is a bit fluttery.

This belongs in the European forum! Many clear ID's and email address as Enterprise Radio

« on: February 07, 2015, 0342 UTC »

Here at 0333 UTC tune in...very hard to get it tuned in though! Finally around 6932.4ish with Midnight Rider-Allman Brothers at 0337 UTC.
0041 UTC SSTV
0043 UTC Yep, cool C&W version of Highway to Hell with fiddle and finger picking...
0045 UTC Some quick SSTV and OFF abruptly

Myteaquinn, I retuned again and I finally got it dead on. Only thing is the 515 only does tenths on the readout
Rafman, I tune with my bad hearing, get it to the nearest tenth and add "ish" to the end of the frequency!
