Shortwave Pirate / Mustang Radio 8/16

« on: August 17, 2011, 1248 UTC »

I'm a little late posting this log and I'm going on memory. When I got home yesterday afternoon I flipped the radio onto 6925 and was surprised to hear a very strong AM signal playing music. Thought it was a stateside station but it turns out it was Mustang Radio from Holland! He was S9+10 with excellent audio. Email address of mustangradio@live.nl. Announcements in English. The operator hangs out in Iann's Pirate Chat and will acknowledge reception in real time. The time was about 2225z through at least 2240z I believe. Music from Whitesnake, U2, Dire Straits and others. Reception was on a TS-480 with a 40m dipole. Hopefully we will have more persistent conditions like this as we go into the fall.

Utility / Some 11175 logs.

« on: July 31, 2011, 1802 UTC »

I'm spending this beautiful summer day inside with the radios because I screwed up my back. 

Here's a few logs from 11175 KHz earlier this morning.

1430z BRIGHT WARRIOR calling ANDREWS MOBILE and then any station for a radio check; no joy on either.

1457z KING 76 calling MAINSAIL for a radio check. He refers to the frequency as "One-One Upper". Puerto Rico responds, KING 76 has him 5x5.

1511z TEN FOOT (?) calling OFFUT several times. OFFUT finally responds after several minutes. OFFUT requests QSY to 11220 KHz.

I also have it here in the Boston area with a signal that varies between S3 and S7. Very significant band noise tonight. The music sounds pretty clear but I am also foiled every time I have heard an ID.

This has been S9 since about 0030z in the Boston area. At one point it was briefly off the air, and someone asked for an additional ID which the op granted - then immediately back into metal.

Sounds like he switched to AM at some point a while ago, played some songs (e.g. YMCA) then a few repeated ID's at 2049z and then off.
