North American Shortwave Pirate / WEHM 92.9/96.9 FM WRLY relay 6949.8 AM 1712 utc 25 Apr 2022

« on: April 25, 2022, 1713 UTC »

Thanks for exact frequency, Skippy

1712 Faint music, some peaks over noise....OM talking but can not decipher, maybe English accent
1713 English accent YL talking
1719 Deep in noise now
1721 Acoustic guitar music
1723 92.9, and another frequency that went into noise, EHU? ID, must be a relay
1725 More music
1729 EHM ID....thus WEHM 92.9 FM Manorville, NY, I think EHM stands for East Hampton, way out east on Long Island
Hello Flexo - It's your job to ID, I can't be doing both.  There's no I in DXing, oh wait there is 
1734 SSTV
1736 Dropped further into noise after SSTV but faint music
1741 Coming out of noise but not clear enough to ID music
1744 Deep in noise again
1756 Reception just went way up, almost as good as original FM...."These Are The Days" 10,000 maniacs
1759 Back down into noise again
1804 "Rock & Roll" The Velvet Underground - better on FM than AM (Fair Reception now)

Another good program on FM now from LI - "The Afternoon Ramble" 1700-2000 utc with Brian Cosgrove on WLIW 88.3
I can pickup WEHM 92.9 on FM here straight across the Sound.  Identical transmissions, by process of elimination - the other frequency would be 96.9 (actually WEHN) which is received better at my qth.  Hmmmmm........WRLY stand for Relay, perhaps?

« on: April 23, 2022, 0954 UTC »

Shortwave Broadcast / VORW WRMI relay 15770 AM 2000 utc 19 Apr 2022 - cut short for Brother Stair

« on: April 19, 2022, 2021 UTC »

Excellent reception, repeat broadcast from Easter Sunday.

2000 ID, John into lengthy monologue about busy day driving around on Easter, did not get time to set up new program.  Into Ukraine War news and opinion.
2015 Explains he will play archive show from probably mid-2017, not sure of date, because of earlier chores to "Mircale Mile" Cold Water Kids
2019 Reads email, plays request "What's Up" 4 Non Blondes
2026 "All I Need" Radiohead
2030 Huh? John's program cut off while he was talking mid-sentence, pause, then Brother Stair on.  Why was John's program shortened a half hour (per WRMI schedule): due to Easter rerun of 2017 rerun, programming err, or time owed to Brother Stair?
