Audio popping up above the noise here around 2315 UTC with UNID song, Man announcer with simple "WHYP" ID, into another UNID song....too much noise for copy....about 3275.2 KHZ. My antenna doesn't do well here in this band.

Had this on after closing down the PC for the night...tune-in at 0243 UTC with "Mexican Radio" in progress, 0244 UTC ID by man announcer "You are listening to Renegade Radio", into song "FM"-Steely Dan.
0248 UTC "Start Me Up"-Rolling Stones
0252 UTC "King of Pain"-Police
0257+ UTC "Refugee"-Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
{Signal was fair to good with fading and pesky QRM from LSB. The frequency seemed to vary ever so slightly and I had to retune a couple of times...some distortion during Stones tune. Deep fade at 0254 UTC. Overall pretty fair broadcast mostly above the noise floor..thanks for the program to end the night RR guy!}
Any chance of a QSL?

Had a good opening for this Feb 23, 2014 at 0055 UTC with a techno dance tune pounding in at S7, then Lady announcer at 0158 UTC followed by Ads with Man announcer....dropped out completely just after 0100 UTC. Signal reminds me of the old Radio Dublin on 6910 KHZ in the 80's....if it is from Tenerife, I seriously doubt 75 watts....

Good morning LT! Hearing you on 6975.5 KHZ with a solid S8 at 1203 UTC tune-in. Starting off the day with a cup of coffee and an Aleve...some kind of cold or flu bug making it's rounds. I hear a techno tune by a lady singer...minor fading and the band noise not as bad as last evening.
1210+ UTC with LT giving several ID's, email address, into long extended dance mix electronica rave tune! Signal about a 45333 here. Thinking about going to Burger King after I do my CVS Saturday routine...
1224 UTC ID, then another electronica dance tune signal dropped to S3 at 1226
{Hey LT, I think everyone is suffering from pirate overload from last night...the band was hopping, even with the excessive atmospherics}
1232 UTC Another tune...sounds like a world music chant intro to dance music
1241 UTC LT ID'd the last couple of tunes, into another pick up your feet and boogie kind of song! {Will check back later after the morning routine! Thanks for the broadcast and the Happy B'day email!!!}
{Finally had the chance to listen back on the 45 minute cassette tape I left running while I did my Saturday morning shopping...still going strong at 1326 UTC when the tape ran out!}

Getting some threshold audio here at 0006 UTC amidst the heavy atmospherics. Very weak music heard, but not enough to ID songs. 0020 UTC definite music but S3 signal and S8 static crashes are killing my ears. 0022 UTC I'm hearing announcer I think....maybe the placebo effect. I give up....too much noise and not enough signal. Straining to hear weak signals in the noise takes it's toll on the imagination!
