Big 6925 USB signal up here in the Boston burbs.

- 1302 "The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite", REM.
- 1306 Some kind of male voice ID but too low and/or over-reverb'd to copy?
- 1306 "Star 69", REM.
- 1309 "All The Way To Reno", REM.
- 1314 "Lightnin' Hopkins", by you guessed it REM.
- 1317 "Stay tuned to WREM" ID
- 1317 "Strange", REM.
- 1319 "Near Wild Heaven", REM.
....
- 1347 off abruptly

General Radio Discussion / A word about fake HFU accounts.

1. All accounts are manually approved so you are just wasting your time trying to create one.

2. It is pretty trivial to make assumptions about who does this sort of thing.

3. Individuals who continue to create fake HFU accounts with Tor, open proxies or other VPNs, which are also easily identifiable, will never be permitted onto Discord.

Иди к черту, малыш.

General Radio Discussion / Re: 1710 CHIM Radio vs Canadian "Official" Top End at 1700-1705 KC

Come on, searching the Canadian broadcast license database is easy. You just have to download a zip of .dbf files and fire up your copy of dBaseIII lol! Yes I am serious, their database is dBaseIII.

http://sms-sgs.ic.gc.ca/eic/site/sms-sgs-prod.nsf/eng/h_00015.html#Database

Online search of a single frequency search is here:

https://sms-sgs.ic.gc.ca/frequencySearch/searchBySingleFrequency/index?execution=e2s1&lang=en_CA

It does not appear CHIM 1710 appears in any of the data.

* Joking aside, Excel will open dBaseIII files.

Caught it too, slightly British accented robo-voice calling numbers. Not particularly strong, and possibly not a pirate. Off around 2030z.

Cool clip, thanks for posting. They went out with The End by The Doors which was cool.

Very nice S9 signal here in the Boston burbs at 1224z. Country-folk acoustic solo about the middle class.

Excellent S9+ signal with 60's/70's solo/pop kind of stuff. Don't have my phone on me so I can't Shazam. Nice audio.

Update 9/25/2021: Invites are AGAIN disabled due to abusive troll behavior. To get an invite to the server, you need to message me or Chris Smolinski here on the HFU. Explain your interest in radio, what your favorite type of DXing is, or whatever, to verify your legitimacy. Sometime in the future when users can behave like adults we will re-open public access.

Pirate Radio History / Re: Vintage reception report MEGA THREAD!

« on: September 25, 2021, 0202 UTC »

Thanks for taking the time to put these up. I was just unpacking some older radio items and when I saw your post, I checked and found a report from
Alternative Radio, dated 3/1992, signed by Dr. Lobotomy. Brings back some fun listing!

Thanks again.
Larry

It'd be great if you could post that! And one of these days I will get back to scanning some more reception reports.
