Shortwave Pirate Radio In North America And Around The World, And Other Things 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.

1925 - Announcing Radio Continental via Radio Piepzender, with a guest DJ in a few minutes. Email address looking for music requests. Announcer was wondering if "Mr. Jock" (Wilson) was listening this evening.
One thing I noticed about this station is that he has just enough 50 Hertz (either hum or residual from his power supply) on either side of his carrier to make listening with the Kiwi synchronous AM detector somewhat unpleasant because the 50 Hertz produces a "motorboating" or pulsing of the audio.

« 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

Actually 3939.95 KHz. Great signal in central Europe.
ID at 2130 UTC. At 2133 UTC, IDed as "Tidal Wave Radio, Mustang Radio". Announcements in English with a Dutch accent. Lots of studio feedback squeal every time he turns the microphone gain up.
