Thanks for the heads-up! I'll try to tune in this one.

I last noted KJJR in my logbook on Feb. 8; it's about 360 miles from me. Local KIXI can be nulled pretty easily at my location, so KJJR's biggest competition on 880 kHz is usually CHQT out of Edmonton.

Fair signal via Fair Hill, Maryland ...

0048 UTC: Sounds like something from an old TV/radio show, if I had to guess. Some looping of the audio. Weird stuff (I like weird stuff!).
0055 UTC: Voices mixed in background of instrumental music.
0057 UTC: "Mr. Psycho" song?
0100 UTC: Signal's fading out a bit as I hear more voices, sound clips being altered and played with.
0104 UTC: Radio jingle into Radio New York International mail bag program intro.
0106 UTC: "Radar Love" by Golden Earring.
0109 UTC: Signal's fading fast into the noise ...

Decent signal tonight staying above the noise before local sunset out here, though with YHWH's characteristic deep fading at times.

It's getting a bit lost in tonight's noise on this band, but it's audible out here directly and peaking at readable levels.

0247 UTC: OM talking; sounds like a recorded clip of some type.
0248 UTC: "Born in the U.S.A." by Bruce Springsteen.
0253 UTC: SSTV transmissions (I don't have my decoding app near me).
0255 UTC: "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" by the Tokens.
0258 UTC: Another three SSTV transmissions. Between the broadcast hour, all the SSTVs and the signal, I'm wondering if this is Skippy.
0302 UTC: "Riders on the Storm" by The Doors.
0305 UTC: Another few SSTV transmissions interrupting The Doors.

Tuned in via NA5B in D.C. area ... Noisy conditions and static crashes.

2253: "Freeze Frame" by J. Geils Band.
2254: Some unreadable talking into the pirate's theme song.
2256: Theme from "Mr. Roger's Neighborhood."
2257: ID: "You're rocking with PJ Sparx on Radio East Coast" into Warren Zevon's "The Envoy."
2300: PJ on the mic, mentioning the last song was a request and so is the next one, "Bad Feeling" by Cobra Man.
2305: "Everybody Party Tonight" by Cobra Man.
2308: "Do You Feel the Same Way Too" by Jet Black. The signal strength via this SDR is great, but the static crashes and noise are getting worse again!
2311: "Flagpole Sitta" by Seattle's own Harvey Danger (I love this song!).
2314: ID ... noise is making this pretty unlistenable as a phone call skit plays.

0255 UTC: I can hear OM talking via the SDR a few miles east of me (K9VD). I thought it was a peskie or outbander at first!

Just got home from a run and switched it on at 0140 UTC to hear a booming signal; one of the loudest pirate signals I've heard in recent weeks from here. Some SSB distortion on the music.

0040 UTC: "Don't Let Us Get Sick" by Warren Zevon.
0042 UTC: "Disease" by Matchbox 20.
0046 UTC: Wolverine Radio ID into "Sick Sick Sick" by Lisa Loeb.

Listening via NA5B near Washington, D.C., where it's strong ...

2343 UTC: Dance remix of Elton John's "Rocket Man."
2344 UTC: "Sunshine (Ibiza Club Remix)" by Ritmo Playaz.
2348 UTC: OM with quick "This is Radio Free Mars" ID into another song (Shazam's having trouble IDing this one).
2352 UTC: Same rushed ID during a quick pause in the music, then the song resumed. Sounds like The 5th Dimension song either mixed in or part of this song.
2355 UTC: "Children of Planet Earth" by Melodysheep. This signal's is making it out to the Northern Utah SDR (albeit barely) when listening in USB.
2359 UTC: "Hello from the children of planet Earth ..." as the song ended.
0000 UTC: Silence for a moment and then off.

Thanks for the music! There's not enough dance/trance/techno on pirate radio!
