North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Radio Gaga 6925U 2350 Aug 8'13

Clear Radio GaGa ID at 2358 UTC. Not particularly strong here, maybe S4 or S5 and competing with a high noise level.
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 permissible in your locale.
Yes.
No.
I took a chance and plugged it in. The dial lights illuminate, and the tubes light, but I haven't received anything yet. I'm going to get it opened up and check the caps and see what might need replacement, and also for any open solder joints. If that doesn't do it, I'll replace the tubes. I think I can get this thing working pretty easily.
I am not certain these guys are actually on boats, at least not all of them. At least a couple of them, like "Deep Audio Guy", I think are land based. The signal strength is much stronger and more consistent with him than the guys who might be on boats. My theory is these guys are out of the Azores. I can't speak Portuguese, but I am pretty sure it is. "Deep Audio Guy" sounds kind of like one of the hi-fi SSBers on ham radio. You can sometimes tell that they are discussing radio stuff by picking out various words like brand names associated with ham gear.

Dick Weed with the RFW ID at 0034 UTC. Signal is very good, but the Pescadore (Azore fishermen) QRM on 6925 LSB is interfering heavily.
Ops, please consider a move for us in the Northeast. The 6925 Azores Net is a nightly event and is now killing this frequency.

Equipment / Re: Smortwave Antena in an apartment
« on: July 30, 2013, 2207 UTC »
How high off the ground is your deck? This is a pretty basic offset dipole antenna. Up in the air between two trees, it would work great. Hidden on your deck will be a compromise, but it will be an improvement, probably, over most indoor antennas.
If you are inclined to build a little bit, the suggestion above to build a loop would be great. Nobody needs to know it's an antenna. Tell them it's a hummingbird migratory aid.

You are welcome to announce. But please just use one ongoing thread (this one), and update it when you plan on being on the air. Rather than post a new thread each time. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is the same show that Sealord linked above (I don't have audio on this computer) but here's another mp3:

General Radio Discussion / Re: Operators: consider 6925 alternatives.
« on: July 30, 2013, 1908 UTC »
Yep. Also, this same gang, including "Deep Audio Guy" was up around 6960-6970ish over the winter and spring (I think 6970) pretty much all the time, like they are these days on 6925. I wonder why they moved down.

« on: July 30, 2013, 1727 UTC »Agree. It seems that there is some sort of nightly"ragchew" fish net on 6925L. They get there early, and then leave late."

Banging into the Boston burbs with a signal peaking at +20. Very clear, frequent IDs. The robots are circling the planet and are also on the surface, amongst us. voiceoftherobots@gmail.com
