No reception in Norway at 0941 UTC.
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.
CHU (and WWV) can be difficult to receive in Europe at this time of day.
In any case, I can hear WWV on this SDR and it has it at 4999.96 KHz on this receiver so -40 Hertz offset. OK. We say that this station isn't quite on 6295.000 and end it there.
Without the rounding, we are only 20 Hertz apart from each other. Very good!
OK, so someone needs to align the SDR I am using against CHU or WWV.
My SDR reports CHU as 7849.40 KHz (60 Hertz low) so frequency [of this station, Radio Cookoo] is more like ~6299.92 KHz. The end result is that after the offset, we are in close alignment.

Weak signal in Norway with Motown at 0933 UTC.
0938: ID, said that they were at reduced power due to antenna problems. Into John Lennon, "So This Is Christmas". SIO 323 in Norway.

« on: December 13, 2020, 0932 UTC »just checking on 7850, a bit low and noisy
I read 0.01 low, as usual, (so I always add 0.01 )
I prefer the Taldom station when there is a continuous carrier on 4996

Their transmitter was off the air for a while this evening but was back on by 1935 UTC when I checked again. Continuous classic hits from the 1970/1980s.
2013 UTC - ID jingle. SIO 332 on an SDR in Norway, with some "flamethrower" QRM on the low side of their signal.
