UNID 6925 V Wobbling drifting 2116 UTC 15 Nov 2017
Not much else to say... well trying to play music,
no more short skip in Europe, so must be far from here (W. France), 2131 still on
edit : 2146 not found again (not anywhere else)
Maybe was from Eastern Europe ?

European Pirates and Private Stations / UNID 6265 (was 6269 ?) AM 2325 UTC 11 Nov 2017

« on: November 11, 2017, 2345 UTC »

Maybe  Black Bandit Radio (or J.Tobacco) ?? on 6269 AM, at 2325 UTC
heard with very weak signal, should easily jump the duck pond
still on at 2339
 2351 : signal now on 6265 AM , some talk (not BBR's voice, not typical music)
still on at 2357 (short skip very very weak here in Europe)

edit again : still going on 0030 UTC, awful conditions here
music, possible ID at 0019 (better go sleep, leave IDing to Ukrainians)

North American Shortwave Pirate / UNID preacher 6925.0 AM 0258 UTC 7 Nov 2017

« on: November 07, 2017, 0955 UTC »

UNID on 6925 AM at 0258 UTC.
At first, sounded like a play with 2 men in a fast way,
but it was a preacher in English, with the other translating quickly each sentence in Italian.
I could not catch the subject, but it was really something alive (like a TV soap, without the laughing box).
The signal was weak here in Europe, and the carrier seemed a bit mushy.
0306 end of preach, then a church song from a good record
0310 a few words from the preacher above the end of music, 0311 end.

Usually, I don't report religious transmissions, but that one was not through a big relay.
(Recently I heard the very oldish voice of Brother Stair with something like the end of the world beginning next Nov 15th...)

edit : I insist that the station heard here was the station on 6925.0, not the other station on 6925.5 (not a trace of an heterodyne here, no music except at 0306 to 0310 UTC with church music). I don't know for sure from where it was coming, maybe my tip should be moved to European pirates (just after I could also hear LHH on 6205 and maybe Nova on 6400, both used to broadcast repeats for hours and hours).

Fair signal in W. Europe,
2210 Doors "The crystal ship" ? (title?)
2211 more music,
 seemed to switch off at 2218 (but maybe another station was underneath with very very weak signal)

European Pirates and Private Stations / QBC ? 6984.9 AM 2243 UTC 11 Oct 2017

« on: October 10, 2017, 2340 UTC »

Typical, relaying some modern station (from London?) with long tracks of electro-pop and DJ above that,
QBC is a low-power station in central Europe,
2312 UTC
2330 fading out here in W. Europe, farewell (still very weak at 2355)

edit : was for October 10th, same for Oct. 11th, just sooner:
2243 easy here (W.Europe), then fading down, maybe will jump over the pond ?

European Pirates and Private Stations / R. NOVA INT 6400.45 AM 1835 UTC 27 Sep 2017

« on: September 27, 2017, 2042 UTC »

Irish pop-rock station (relayed via ....)
on 6400.45 kHz,

(same station heard last week on 6393)
1835 heard here in W. Europe, less QRM and better modulation, normal AM with lower and upper sideband tonight,

with a little help from F layer, should be heard in America tonight.

2028 "Tobacco road",
2041 still on, pop
Edit:
2100 fading out here, 2102 only a faint carrier (going on the long skip, farewell...)

Edit on Sept 28 :
That station on 6400 also heard on Mon 25 (no  ID) and on Tuesday 26 (with R. NOVA IDs), both days with a small portable (and wire), cannot give frequency better than 6400 kHz.
My tip for Sep. 27 was to warn American DXers of a possible DX on the same evening (no success apparently).

North American Shortwave Pirate / 6925.0 AM UNID Monday 20th May, 06.23-07.07 end

« on: May 20, 2013, 0816 UTC »

Hi,

UNID station heard this morning on 6925 AM mode, very weak here in France in the daylight at 06.23 UTC
Music : mostly modern R'n B women singers, dance music, but none I could identify.
Talk : short announcements, a longer one at 06.54-06.55, all much too weak.
Some "small mill" ut burst, occasionnal traffic (from Italy?), local noise fading up.

Station still there at 07.07, but at 0710 it was gone. Sounds like a station from America ? (From Europe, it should have been fading up, not down, at least for a while).

North American Shortwave Pirate / 6950.1 AM heard in W. Europe at sunrise, July 8, 5.45 UTC

« on: July 08, 2011, 0752 UTC »

6950.1 AM heard in W. Europe at sunrise, July 8, 5.45 UTC

Very weak station just between Laser Hot Hits 6945 and Atlantic R. 6959.6.
Mostly music, but unknown songs at the peak times.
Very few words really heard (6.08 Here we go ??, 6.31 ..rainbow..).
Then fading out, some rumble around 6.45 (other carrier) and carrier vanishing.

North American Shortwave Pirate / WBCQ relayed on 6925 ?? Sun 23, 4.20 - 5.00.

« on: January 23, 2011, 2226 UTC »

 Very weak station heard on 6925 AM (here, W. Europe), at 4.20 - 5.00.

Mostly talking, with several voices, (incl. one female voice). Short musical pieces. Too much local noise, so almost no detail, sorry. But I thought it sounded like some program relayed by WBCQ, and I went there on 5110. Exactly the same format of mostly talking, voices and music. But I could not hear both at the same time, not even switch quickly. If a song had been played from beginning to end, maybe I could have identified if it was the same program.

 Well, I needed to sleep again...

Anyone heard more ?
