North American Shortwave Pirate / YHWH 7470 AM 0312 UTC 14 July 2019

« on: July 14, 2019, 0314 UTC »

First time I've caught his thing, not that I have been dying for it. 
Going on about text that was mistakenly left out of, or mistyped in, various versions of the Bible. Also explained to us how to find happiness with Yahweh.

Noting that signal is very good in the southwestern US right now. As it turns out foF2 at Vandenberg is quite good for this frequency right now too. Hmmm.
Postscript @ 0400 UTC - signal faded into the toilet as the foF2 dives. See below.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Radio Kolibrie 6240 AM 0635 UTC 08 June 2019

« on: June 08, 2019, 0646 UTC »

Weak reception across most of Europe, except in the Benelux and in Sweden.
Programming is a mixture of organ-grinder "schlager" music and other stuff.
Too weak to really pleasantly listen to while waiting for an ID. I'm out.

ID in the subject line added by Ray, thanks the Ether Hacker
