European MW Pirate Radio / Radio Funkenboer (NL) 1647 AM 1830 UTC 26 December 2019

Boer is Dutch for "farmer". Funken is an adaptation of the German word Funk, meaning "radio". So the station is "Radio Farmer Radio". 

Beautiful signal on SDRs in Scandinavia that have longwire antennas. (Not so much on the ones with small loops or whips.) This dude has a huge signal.

1837 UTC - ID and mentions of listeners in Sheffield, England, all in Dutch, over Dutch vocal music.
1856 UTC - Acknowledging reports in Scandinavia.
2000 UTC (approximately) - TX off the air.

I have the frequency as 6261.9 KHz.
Female vocals auf Deutsch for sure at 0752 UTC.
Continuing with the easy listening-type (think of Radio Harmony) schlager-like music in Dutch.

SDR - Software Defined Radio / New kiwiSDR Update

« on: December 26, 2019, 0745 UTC »

Looks like the rolled out some system updates to kiwiSDR in the last 18 hours recently. I like the possibility of synchronous AM coming but I also really liked the AM Narrow option being readily available though. This is not rolled out to all kiwi nodes, only some right now. I came across this on the OK2KYJ SDR in Czechia.

Do people use DRM that much that it will be on the "front panel" (it has been available under extensions for a while now)?

European Pirates and Private Stations / King Shortwave 6210 AM 0855 UTC 22 December 2019

« on: December 22, 2019, 0902 UTC »

This is one of those stations that only seems to be listenable in a very geographically limited area; in this case northern England.
Pop/rock music with no announcements.

The listenable geographic area is expanding!

Difficult to copy (muffled and too much reverb) at 1010: "You are listening to King Shortwave."
Closing down announcement at 1048 UTC then actually off at 1049.
