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

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

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.

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.
