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.
An example of the plot that Chris is referring to is at the bottom. I have drawn a red arrow at the relevant height, which is on the black trace. I have highlighted the scale that is used to indicate height. I have also highlighted the indicated height (in km) in textual data, "hmF2".
Here is a map of the digisonde stations around the world: http://www.digisonde.com/digisonde-station-map.html
Here is a location to view plots like I show below: http://ulcar.uml.edu/DIDBase/
It seems that the station operator is not sure as well!
Yeah, I think that is still him. I have a weak signal from him at 2208.

2323 - Beatles, "Drive My Car".
2325 - ID repeated 2x.
2328 - Advert for Stag Beer and into AC/DC, "Shoot To Thrill".
Looks like they are repeating the show. See Shipmuck's post above and add ~72 minutes to know what comes next on the show.

Tuning around on east coast US SDR and just happened to catch the start. Great signal, SINPO 45334.
I have a weak carrier on 6939 KHz but they must be QRMing reception of that station for some.
2308 - music
2321 - seemingly off after a few bluesy tunes

Propagation / Re: foF2 plots
« on: April 29, 2018, 2249 UTC »As the distance between the transmitter and receiver increases, the angle becomes less than 90 degrees (perpendicular) and frequencies higher than foF2 can be propagated. This can be computed with simple geometry, if you know foF2 and the height of the F2 layer (also displayed on a graph next to the foF2 plot) you can compute the angle and then the skip zone distance around the transmitter site.
An example of the plot that Chris is referring to is at the bottom. I have drawn a red arrow at the relevant height, which is on the black trace. I have highlighted the scale that is used to indicate height. I have also highlighted the indicated height (in km) in textual data, "hmF2".

Barely listenable in Italy at 2200 UTC. Much better on SDRs in the UK. Some sort of skit in German at 2200 UTC
