Multiple English IDs at 1840 UTC "This is Jingle Radio, the voice of radio stations around the world...."
and giving email address but saying not to expect a QSL.

Heard at ~1856 UTC as well and again just before signoff at ~1908 UTC.

Audio recording from the UK just before signoff: https://voca.ro/18PGitQkfqy7

6205 is not one of the licensed frequencies, 6205 was relaying another programme,

OK, so it is a legitimate station relayed by a pirate.

I logged it here earlier: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,92575.msg295519.html#msg295519

Not really a pirate in my opinion since it has been licensed/permitted in Finland for 20 years.

Website says they should be on 6170 KHz but they are here instead. SINPO 44344 in UK and Eire on a few SDR that I checked.
http://www.swradio.net/schedule.htm
Not a smooth program production with many music breaks and dead air.

1735 UTC - Hold The Line
1738 UTC - C'mon Eileen

European Pirates and Private Stations / Radio Sovereign 3905 AM 0740 UTC 05 February 2022

« on: February 05, 2022, 0800 UTC »

S9+ in SW England with pop.
ID at the top of the hour. "Broadcasting from the east coast of Ireland, this is Radio Sovereign."
0809 UTC Bruce Springsteen, "Tunnel of Love"

I checked around various receivers and the signal is weak outside UK and Eire. Daytime absorption is in effect but also they may be using NVIS.

European Pirates and Private Stations / Zenith Classic Rock 6950 AM 0750 UTC 16 January 2022

« on: January 16, 2022, 0758 UTC »

Likely Zenith Classic Rock but waiting for ID. SIO 343 in northwest Ireland.
0800 UTC - pips for the top of the hour. Even more likely to be Zenith.
0802 UTC - ID

Listening on northwest Ireland SDR. Very weak most of the time.

0745 UTC - Re-do of David Bowie "Starman". Pro-sounding announcement between songs but signal is too weak to understand or identify the language.
0754 UTC - TX off or signal lost.

2046 - playing US jingles, etc. from probably the 1970s, followed by ID. S9+10 to +20 on an SDR in Austria. Great reception.
2245 - checked back now, 2 hours later. Signal is much weaker and with rapid flutter QSB (similar to aurora flutter).

2020 UTC - On 6954.88 KHz. SINPO 45454, S9 on an SDR in Austria.

The bass is a bit muddy and distorted but otherwise all else sounds good in central Europe.

2050 UTC - The distortion may better, though it depends upon the music material, of course.
2104 UTC - Rolling Stones, "Angie".
2216 UTC - Op ID in English.
2229 UTC - Op talk over John Lennon (?) song. Op will listen on this frequency after his TX off. (This is the way that Greek MW pirates do their transmissions.)
2240 UTC - Close down soon. Op will listen on this frequency after close down. Will be on again tomorrow.
2242 UTC - TX Off.
