ID at 1326z with announcer saying "WSPR testing". Pretty sure it was WSPR but it could have been WFTR or some other variation. Signal was good but voice announcement was a little muddy on the audio.

This was "Skyman" with lots of U2 and talking about how Zeke jams. Good signal in the Boston burbs until sign off. Multiple mentions of an individual with a revoked ham radio license.

More than two decades ago, WWCR presaged a type of disinformation and conspiracism that is now rampant

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.
« on: October 13, 2021, 1826 UTC »
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
« on: October 12, 2021, 1313 UTC »
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.

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.

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.

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