Weak @ 1900 UTC. It's too early to propagate to southern Europe well. I hear it reasonably well on web SDRs in northern Europe.

No ID yet but very likely. Only a matter of time. Typical programming. May have been on the air since 1915 or so, just not sure. Heavy UTE QRM on the USB so I'm listening on LSB.

Mostly music. Long announcement at 1930 but signal is just weak enough to be difficult to copy fully. Given the frequency and programming, I'm guessing that this is The Ghoul.

1950 - checked back and carrier either faded out or went off.

« on: June 15, 2018, 1924 UTC »

Presumed. No ID yet but waiting for it. SINPO 33333 today.
2020 UTC - still there. Signal has improved.
2207 UTC - computerized ID.

Side note: Charleston Radio generates far more page views than all the other European pirates. Why is that?

European Pirates and Private Stations / WFUV via Panda R. 6285 AM 2125 UTC 14 June 2018

« on: June 14, 2018, 2138 UTC »

Old time music with English vocals. Sounds more like Charleston than Coast FM.
At 2134 UTC, American-accented male announced various songs from the 1930s, ID as "WFUZ" or "WFUV" but neither of those make sense initially, given the programming.
2156 - Positive ID as "WFUV, New York". (WFUV is the FM station associated with Fordham University.) Announcements about the music being played. This may have been a replay of their show "The Big Broadcast".
2200 - ID at the top of the hour. "This is WFUV New York, a service of Fordham University..." with frequencies and online stream info. Obviously a relay of the online stream.
2204 - Noted that the audio is not in synchronisation with WFUV online stream.
2205 - Suddenly into advert for AM-forum.nl then some music.
2207 - TX off.
