0216 UTC: Not a loud signal here, but sounding nice with rock/electronic music.
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.
No definitive sign of a signal out west here (see below for the updated information). But I found a good, strong signal via the Warrenton, Virginia, SDR ...
0017: OM announcer talking about equipment power problems.
0018: "Rocky Mountain Way" by Joe Walsh.
0022: OM talking about Joe Walsh apparently being an amateur radio operator, his continuing broadcast problems. Mentions his lunch is about ready.
0023: "Roll on Down the Highway" by BTO.
0027: OM host says he thinks the problem's in the pre-amp, talking to his wife a bit, other chatting.
0028: "Come and Get Your Love" by Redbone. This song's now making it directly through my speaker here near Seattle; just barely audible, but the signal's there!
0033: OM (over 60, he says) talking a bit more talk about his technical glitch, talking about John Wayne and James Arness, about self-isolating, etc. I'm still listening via the Virginia SDR, but I can hear bits of the chatting directly here.
0035: "These Eyes" by The Guess Who.
0039: OM feeling better about his technical glitches, chatting into the start of "I'm Your Captain/Closer to Home" by Grand Funk Railroad. The music's still coming up on my radio directly out here, but it's fading out longer in between audible bits, so I'm also still listening via the SDR.
0044: OM called himself "Captain Midnight," a bit more technical chatting into "Against the Wind" by Bob Segar & the Silver Bullet Band.
0048: More chatting about technical problems, which seem to be more audible now. Then "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas. The OM cut into the song and said he's going to shut down due to his technical problems, then plays "Angie" by The Rolling Stones.
0055: Quick switch to "Hair of the Dog" by Nazareth. Then more OM chatting, then back to the Nazareth song.
0058: OM chatting again, talks about QSL cards. His mic audio's getting a bit fuzzier, then into "Foreplay/Long Time" by Boston.
0108: OM chatting about technical problems ... giving HFU shout-outs, then "Don't Look Back" by Boston.
0117: OM back on the mic. The chatting's now nearly at readable levels on my own receiver out here. "Virus 19 Radio off the air now" ... then chats a bit more and goes out with "Catch you tomorrow night, baby, if the ship hasn't sunk by then." Then "Holy Diver" by Dio to off at 0124 UTC.
Thanks for the music!

Came on right after Virus 19 Radio ... listening via SDR in Warrenton, Virginia. A lower signal than Virus 19's. But I just checked my radio here near Seattle, and it's audible above the noise floor here.
0124 UTC: Started with "Pirate Radio" by Mojo Nixon.
0129 UTC: ID over electronic music.
0131 UTC: "Moving in Stereo" by The Cars.
0136 UTC: OM announcer with ID, talking about "morons" hoarding TP, etc., says he knows somebody recovering from the virus. Noisy signal all of a sudden!
0138 UTC: ID into "Turn Up the Radio" by Autograph.
0143 UTC: ID and a bit of chat into "Lonely is the Night" by Billy Squier.
0148 UTC: "Overture/The Temples of Syrinx" by Rush.
Thanks for the music, Sycko!

I'm catching the music peaks at my own radio as of 0145 UTC. The local SDR in Machias, Washington, has a better signal. Hearing "Muy Hermosa" by Chill Kechil, according to Shazam.
0146 UTC: Usual YL-voiced "Mix Radio" ID into more music.
0156 UTC: Signal's strengthened, so I'm hearing the music pretty consistently now, though not totally readable through the noise. Sounds like smooth jazz right now.

Hearing music here as of 0354 UTC. Very audible, though its readability is affected a bit by quite a bit of noise.

I heard the weaker signal here just after Wolverine until well past 0230 UTC, then went upstairs for dinner.

Tuned in at 0120 UTC, good signal here playing Jimi Hendrix, then The Doors' "Light my Fire" at 0123 UTC.
0126 UTC: "This Wheel's On Fire" by the Byrds. The signal's taken a hit; fading and down to fair.
0130 UTC: "Wolverine Radio" ID spoken by OM, followed by James Taylor's "Fire and Rain."
0134 UTC: New song started, with fading and SSB distortion, it's getting hard to ID songs.
0138 UTC: "London's Burning" by The Clash. (The second-to-last track on Side A of the U.S. version of that first Clash album. I know it well from my youth.)
0140 UTC: ID again, followed by "Burning Down the House" by Talking Heads.
0144 UTC: "I'm on Fire" by Bruce Springsteen.
0146 UTC: That simple spoken ID again, followed by "Bushfire" by The B-52s
0151 UTC: "Into the Fire," followed by an echo-effect ID and an SSTV transmission at 0155 UTC, then another, weaker SSTV at 0157 UTC.
Thanks for the music!

Barely audible on my own radio, but fair to good on the nearby SDR (K9VD), where I heard the last part of the Sleater-Kinney song at 0027 UTC, a "Whatever!" drop and then into the next song, though a loud tone lasting about a minute blasted the frequency.

Barely anything out here. On both my direct receiver and the local SDR, I can hear music on 4175 USB at the noise floor level; nothing on 5165 audible in any mode right now.

Just above the noise floor out here near Seattle at 2350 UTC, but audible with music.
Still audible, barely, at 0032 UTC.

Tuned into one of his usual frequencies and found a good, though noisy, signal here. As usual, doing his usual anti-religion shtick.

Hearing poor to nearly fair bluesy music as of 0222 UTC here near Seattle. As of 0224 UTC, the signal's peaking at a solidly fair level every few moments; I'm listening in USB.

Fair signal of music directly heard out here near Seattle since 0215 UTC, despite a pretty noisy floor here!
