North American MW Pirate Radio / Tater patch radio 1630 AM 2216 UTC 17 Dec 2019

« on: December 17, 2019, 2248 UTC »

At 2216 UTC , Tater Patch apparent on 1630  after not being heard here for a few days. Playing White Stripes Seven Nation Army.
Reception is poor so far tonight
0200 UTC + no signal

Also heard parts of a unid TIS on 1630 a few days ago with only KCJJ in the background. The only clues were " Call West Virginia 511" , some other refs to I -79 or I 76 and followed by a YL that definitely had the WVA trademark accent.
I searched the TIS list , didnt find anything for WVA on 1630 and gave up, but it would have been nice to id.

North American MW Pirate Radio / Tater Patch/ WPEX Blackstone 1630 AM 0200 UTC 10 Dec 2019

At 0200 UT  id as WPEX Blackstone Va with live DJ into Boston/ more than a feeling.

Indoor DX380 on internal ferrite with rolling 30 second fades but quite strong on peaks - some of the best audio/signal from them ive heard minus the fades

MW Loggings / WPTX 1690 210 UTC 9 Dec 2019

« on: December 09, 2019, 0218 UTC »

WPTX Lexington Park MD  with a great all water path signal into Va Beach tonight, listening on a Hallicrafters S38 using what's left of the HF antenna at 0210 UTC playing the Carpenters Superstar , later into Gordon Lightfoot / Rainy day people and Bread/ Aubrey.
Some great old tunes esp nice to hear Bread over the air, who really never got full recognition during a time when a lot of rock was coming out -for their all but forgotten musically brilliant catalog of timeless , often sad, songs of unrequited love.

In my opinion.

General Radio Discussion / Play me some Jones

« on: November 11, 2019, 2241 UTC »

While I was taking a break from the usual post weekend home repair    here at the shelter, listening to WMBG 740 in Williamsburg due to WJOI is no longer a pleasant listen because they blew the tower " rather than it fall down".
I moved the tune of the Panasonic only up a little because I noticed some spatter.  It's Jones talking about power pills you need to take on the empire and protect and purge you of the heavy metals. This radio has no shortwave capability
Wow , I didn't know he was on AM.   Then call letters WWCR.
It ran for about 5 mins and drastically increased with my hand near the telescopic.
I managed to get a cell phone vid .
I've heard shortwave come blasting through on a crystal set that lacked any ability to reject strong sigs and just blew through the magnetic fields in the coils.
But the Panasonics are high quality radios that would permit no such thing. 
When it faded a religious station came up , ( WBMD?) confirmed it was 750 kHz ish.
12160 KHZ  divided by 16 is 760
A nearby DX 380 could not hear it but I managed to put WWCR at 750 - 760ish based on the 750 religious station match and readout of the DX 380

So ..?
