Nice signal here at S7 and slight fades at 1843 UTC tune in with op talking over music giving a shoutout to Chris Smolenski.
1845 UTC Unid pop tune man singer
1848 UTC Folk song with man singer starting off with "This is the best song in the world".
(I'm getting S7 peaks and lots of fading now)
1852 UTC "No Rain"-Blind Melon and Cupid op giving shoutouts to HFU posters. Thanks Rinus!
1856 UTC "Beds Are Burning"-Midnight Oil
1908 UTC Shoutout during Highway to Hell to Harry Smith from Ohio!
Thanks for the show Rinus! It's out to the yard for me for some more Fall leaf pickup
Well, I think I'll hang in there for the last song seeing as you're closing down after that. It's sacrilege to turn off the radio during an Aerosmith tune here in Massachusetts
OFF at 1923 UTC after shoutouts to all the posters here on the HFU and Bye, Bye!

Thanks for the answer Hans! My 3rd threshold logging of Trans Europe. One of these days we will get good propagation and get to hear your program here with a good signal! Hope to hear you when that happens

Here also at 1700 UTC rising above the noise level with "White Rabbit"-Jefferson Airplane, into "Free Ride"-Edgar Winter Group at 1702 UTC. Signal back into the noise at 1705 UTC, but I did hear some bits of a SSTV at 1711 UTC. My best logging of Over 60 Degrees Radio yet. Too bad it didn't last...

Tuned in at 1620 UTC to a carrier but no audio. Suddenly at 1624 UTC the music just popped up out of the noise..."Sweet Dreams Are Made of These"-Eurythmics
1628 UTC UNID song mostly below the noise level, but rising out here and there.
1630 UTC I'm getting nothing after this time....no carrier or audio. OFF?
Thanks for the test, whoever you are!

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Mustang Radio 6940 AM 0250z

« on: November 09, 2014, 0333 UTC »

Solid S7 here at 0255 UTC tune in! Amazing signal for the first 20 minutes or so, then started heading for the noise and with fading between S2-S5. Thanks for the program tonight from across the big pond Mannus!
My last post for the day....Mustang switched over to 6925 which was not as good for me as 6940 due to 6925 LSB peskie QRM. USB wasn't too bad and near the end was pretty clear! I hope tonights great Europrop is a sign of what's coming up this winter!!!

North American MW Pirate Radio / Radio Free Whatever 1720 AM 000? Nov 9, 2014

« on: November 09, 2014, 0021 UTC »

I've had 1720 on since the end of the PRB 22nd show, and I thought Undercover stayed on, but around 0000 or so the RFW Halloween Spooktacular show is being played again! Nice signal here with some deep fades. Spooky music
Prop is all over the place tonight! Around 0025 UTC the signal was buried in the noise. In the next few minutes, it bounced back up to S8 here! Somebody posted last night calling this "Swiss Cheese Propagation"

European Pirates and Private Stations / Re: Radio Hardanger 6296 AM 2250 UTC 8 Nov 2014

« on: November 08, 2014, 2327 UTC »

Fair to very good signal here since 2250 UTC with an eclectic mix of tunes. Polkas, Elvis Presly, Dire Straits, more polkas. Propagation is all over the place though, with band noise and fading. Man announcer during and between songs
Still going strong at 0050 UTC! Hardanger op mentions Skipmuck's name... Nice man!
0100 UTC until close down about 15 minutes after Borderhunter was S7 here with some fades. Great interaction with Hardanger operator....hope to meet him at the White House next time I'm in DC
Op was on 6295 for quite awhile, and then switched to 6297 not long after 0100 UTC until closedown.
Thanks for the program and hope to hear you again soon! Only the names have been changed

0354 UTC X-L-R-8 (and my streak has been broken by some psychedelic number from the 60's...just a guess, but 13th Floor Elevators?)
0358 UTC Hmmm....sounds like early Ten Years After
0422 UTC "Ohio"-CSNY (Thanks XLR8! Neil Young rocks!)
Indian Reservation-Paul Revere & Raiders followed by Black Magic Woman-Santana(or was that Oye Como Va...hmmm, the PC is in one room and the NRD in another so I listen through the door

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Unid on 6.925 usb at 0301 utc Nov 8

« on: November 08, 2014, 0316 UTC »

Here too but very difficult to notch out the het from 6925.2ish. It did sound like Ian Anderson's flute for sure. Didn't catch what the guy said at 0309 UTC. Is that 6925.2 Liquid Radio?

Thanks JFarley....if I could only find that missing power supply for the Datong FL-3

« on: November 08, 2014, 0214 UTC »

Here also just after the end of the PRB show....I had to switch over to USB to catch the Comrades anthem at 0206 UTC, into DJ Dickweed and Stavin with a better late than never "Halloween Spooktacular". (In the Pirate Zone, it's always Halloween ), into some tunes that I need Shazam to ID....I guess I was born too early .
