Listening to ball Smacker radio 6960 a.m. decent signal here in Cincinnati. Pretty standard music. Standard identification. Maybe the goal is to sound like a legitimate licensed station? I don't know back in the day when we did Pirate Radio, sorry to go down memory lane, and I'm an old guy on top of that, we were wild and crazy drunk stoned and did whatever the hell we wanted to because we didn't have a license anyway. Just my opinion I thought it was exciting and we had a pretty good audience. In other words we were different than the legitimate stations. Just my opinion

Pretty good, steady carrier throughout the broadcast via my home receiver with a bit of wire strung along the ceiling toward a window. But no audio ever quite punched through the fairly heavy local RFI. I checked a couple of web SDRs and conditions didn't seem very good Friday evening, although the 40m ham band went long later.
