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.
Man, those are things that demonstrate an egg's quality. They indicate a good variety of diet.
I had backyard hens for a while but my tendency to regard anything in my care as a pet wasn't helpful. Good eggs. Fortunately around my parts, some commercially sold eggs are of high quality. They have hard shells and darker yolks.
Yeah, I know all about that. Good thing in some respects because it shakes the iron grip of the Catholic Church. But still, an English language program supposedly for Africa.... which brings up the question of why aren't there more Spanish language evangelical stations. WEWN has that one right. Chalk up the Catholics for knowing their azimuth.
A few years back WRMI was told to broadcast somewhere in 43m (I think initially 6915, then dropped to 6855 due to the first frequency interfering with a CAP net frequency). Some speculated here that it was to mess with pirates, but it didn't last. I believe that transmitter is now the one that transmits at 9455.
I can understand the change in frequency, but the change in beam direction (from Africa to Latin America) seems counterintuitive for show ostensibly produced for an African audience.

2151 pretty weak but hearing music at the noise floor. This should improve. Thanks for the show!
2229 Much stronger signal now, about SIO 233.
2234 big ute has taken over this part of the band. Not copying station under it any more. (Possibly QSY'd to 6855)
0144 signal just cut out

Spy Numbers / Re: E11 Numbers Station Recordings
« on: October 29, 2022, 1435 UTC »
I hope it's OK that I reply here rather than create a new post, but here in Denver CO USA, I'm hearing E11 very very faintly, but confirmed by comparing what I can pick out of the noise to what I can hear clearly at the uTwente Web SDR. Saturday 29 OCT 2022, 1430 UTC, 14972 kHz USB. First time I've definitely copied a voice numbers station from Europe, though again it's very weak and none of the numbers are really copyable. I'll take it though. SIO 111.

Tuned in since 1756 with the interval signal (one of my favorites that are still around and used on every broadcast) ringing in clear, better on my MLA-30 loop than the G5RV. Noting this mainly because this should be switching back to 9690 AM for the winter starting on Sunday but 16m still seems to be great from Spain to North America regardless of the really short days of the year starting now.

Huh? / Re: Papilio Polyxenes
« on: October 28, 2022, 1838 UTC »
I wonder if that image immediately above my comment here applies to Colorado? We tend to have harder winters than a lot of other places around the country, plus most of the trees native to this area were cottonwoods that grew along streambeds. The average suburban backyard tree, grass, and flower don't have a lot in common with the native fauna.

I tried frying potatoes in beef tallow (the onetime secret behind McDonald's once-awesome french fries until vegetarians put up a stink and they switched to vegetable oil), and that stuff smells awful (or offal, as you said, hehe) when it's hot. Duck fat works much better anyway.

UNPROCESSED should be a key word. Big difference between a grassfed steak from a minimally medicated cow and your average Oscar Meyer product.
Since other studies have been questioned based upon financing on this board, it's fair to ask if this organization is also receiving funding from interested parties.
http://www.eatdrinkpolitics.com/wp-content/uploads/ASNReportFinal.pdf
Now, it's important to note that that's hardly a smoking gun to prove any bias. Research needs funding and corporations have it, and they far more often don't tie strings. (It's something else entirely when industry creates their own research groups a la big tobacco in the latter part of the 20th Century.) But it would help if we had a link to the study instead of a media report about it. It was tricky to find. In fact, I'm still looking. But at least I found this which is just more common sense stuff that now has some scientific confirmation:
https://nutrition.org/dietary-pattern-more-so-than-consumption-of-red-or-processed-meat-is-associated-with-chronic-disease-risks/
In other words, how much you eat has a lot more to do with your health risks that what exactly you're eating.
EDIT: found this through their website as being the closest to corresponding to the Irish Farmers Journal story, being that it draws essentially the same conclusions and came out in 2021 (same with that news report), but the number of participants given in the report was far greater than the one given here. And though I found it through the American Society for Nutrition's website, it's not published in their journal. That's all the time I really feel like chasing it.

Shortwave Broadcast / Re: Idiots 6295 AM 1830 UTC 23 OCT 2022
« on: October 25, 2022, 1736 UTC »Al Weiner took over the old pirate frequency of 7415 with WBCQ, filling it with the Reverend Pete Peters and Brother Stair in the late`90's. Then after everyone got settled in on 6955, a S. American station showed up there for a year or so. We all moved to 6925 and 6950. Nothing new about this stuff. With the way propagation has been after nightfall, I wouldn't be surprised to see more op's drop down into the old 60 meter tropical band to be heard.
