Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Signals That Go Bump In The Night
We seek to understand and document all radio transmissions, legal and otherwise, as part of the radio listening hobby. We do not encourage any radio operations contrary to regulations.
Always consult with the appropriate authorities if you have questions concerning what is permissable in your locale.
Captain Morgan SW also heard on 6925,0 approx., here in W. Europe on Sat. 16 of July at 02.09UTC with "Born to be wild" and other songs I don't know, one was "..funky music". Signal strong enough, but sounding badly so I could not copy the "Captain Morgan" part of the ID, only "shortwave at gmail dot com". By 02.23, it was evident there was an other station underneath, drifting enough to get a hum now. At 02.30 both stations disappeared.
I tuned around and found an other signal at 02.36UTC on 6899.3 AM with also "shortwave" in the ID at 02.41, but it was a weaker one, also announcing a (phone?) nr incl. 443 and gmail at 02.57, disturbed by SSB traffic on 6905LSB. So I tuned again elsewhere for a while (see under). I came back and heard a long ID at 03.43 but nothing better till the signal faded out under the SSB traffic and noise.
Captain Morgan SW heard again at 03.13UTC, this time on 6950,2 kHz, playing again that "..funky music" song, then an other blues and boogie programme. And again I could not copy the "Captain Morgan" part of the gmail address! Ended with scary noises at 03.42UTC.

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.
Ray
WOLVERINE Radio heard in W. France on 6925 SSB,
Sunday 5 June 2011, about 03.15 - 03.45 UTC (dawn here).
10 (unknown) songs with an ID in the middle.
Good signal, no noise at all.
Sony 7600D (sharp clarifier thumb wheel) + dipole.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Radio Jamba International 6940 AM
« on: June 25, 2012, 0659 UTC »
Hello,
R. Jamba International heard in W. Europe at 0250-0335 UTC, on 6339,9 kHz AM mode
with IDs at 0252 and 0304 (and many others not heard clearly).
Jazz from the 1930's I think, big band era, clarinette soloist, etc...
Maybe "30 watts" announced, not sure about that.
Also UNID around 0500 on 6940 again, not the same kind of music, going to look around about that second one.

Also heard in W. Europe for more than an hour now (and sun shines here!). Just an ID now.

Modified : in fact, I heard it first at 06.07 UTC, and till 06.50 s/off.
Strange mix of Bush years patriotism with free radio, but I did not understand what was said over music, also there were much atmo crackings here.

Heard this one in W. Europe when I get up. It was v.weak with some static crash, and I could not understand the "Eccentric" name, but the times for details are quite the same at 0648-0700.

Hi,
Probably got that station at 0545-0551 in France, very weak with comments in English (US accent). Atmos and ut.QRM made it almost uncopiable, and then the signal faded down, with only the "music" of talking. It was already daytime here in W. Europe.
Still a weaker station on 6925 USB too this morning May 3rd, with only a buzzing signal, but at 0535 and at 0543, a very clear woman voice was heard.

Hi,
UNDERCOVER Radio heard here in France at 05.05 to 05.41*.
Good signal, then fading a bit. Unknown pop-rock, maybe some Red Chili Hot Pepper and others.
Clear IDs + email by Dr Benway, and "good night" (Euro translation is "good morning").
So far for "bad propagation" forecasts !

Hi,
I heard this station at 0632-0711, not understanding what kind of science-fiction it was, mixed with worrying music.
Then at 0706 was an announcement in normal voice, about QSLing, and I heard "900 watts", but it was noisy now.
Heard in West part of France (yes, Europe !) , portable set (Sony ICF7600D) with a dipole antenna 6 m high.
Sorry I could not get more about the ID (?) at the end.

Hi,
Channel Z must my UNID on 6925,1 AM at 23.06-23.33*
I could not understand the name under heavy traffic at that time, but I identified several songs :
2312 Mungo Jerry "In the summertime"
2318 the Kinks "Sunny afternoon"
2323 Otis redding "The dock of the bay"
2333 no more signal (but Radio Mushroom followed, in USB)
All heard in France (yes, the other side of the pond!)

Hi,
R. Mushroom heard also in France, on 6925 USB, from 2334 to 2353, with Louie Louie, My Sharona, Sufragette City, and a lot of IDs notso easy to understand on this side of the pond, but I figured the name at last.
(Came just after an other station on 6925,1 AM I could not identify under traffic QRM)

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Turtle Head Radio 6930 LSB
« on: December 15, 2011, 2217 UTC »
Hi,
I heard a station this morning (Thursday 15th of december) at 06.49 UTC to 07.22 UTC, on 6930.0 kHz in W. Europe.
I thought it was in AM mode (with a carrier), but I could hear it only using LSB because of Ut.QRM on 6935.
Program was music, with announcements between records. At 06.53, annt by woman and duo man+woman saying hello...(etc...) .
There was a strong het on 6925 till 06.55. Then afater 07.00, there was much OTH radar hits.
No known music, and very weak signal on this side of the pond!
