Golden Instrumentals 6145v AM 0445 UTC 10 JAN 2023
« on: January 10, 2023, 0448 UTC »
Exact frequency is 6145.24 kHz. S9 with the PY2GN KiwiSDR in Brazil. Modulation a little too high. Nothing on KiwiSDRs in North America, probably a fairly local station to the PY2GN and PY2-81502 KiwiSDRs in the São Paulo area.

0445 UTC-Male robot voice “Golden Instrumentals, where you hear the greatest instrumentals of all time”
0445 UTC-House of the Rising Sun instrumental
0448 UTC-Next instrumental, faded into the previous one (no silence between tracks)
0457 UTC-Radio Romania International just starting on 6145.00 kHz, now listening on 6145.24 kHz USB to help avoid QRM
0454 UTC-Still going but the QRM is horrible, should end in a few minutes
0455 UTC-James Bond Theme
0456 UTC-QRM now gone, good S9 reception again
0625 UTC-Für Elise

A nice departure from the usual format of Brazilian pirates! I hope this is a new regular pirate, I would like to continue hearing it. I am going to leave the recorder going over night, QRM from Asia might get bad in the morning but I guess I will find out.

Songs are identified with Shazam if needed. I usually use KiwiSDR receivers. Reception from my QTH is using an SDRPlay RSP1A for SWL with a 40 meter band Inverted V at 40 feet. Kenwood TS-570D for ham use.

I wonder if "The House Of The Rising Sun" was Jimi Hendrix's 1965/66 cover on Parrot Records, just before he headed of to the U.K. and stardom? He shreds that tune. I think it's up on Spotify for any North American pirates that might be curious?

A lot of Jamaican Ska bands did horn based versions of the James Bond theme. The British 2-Tone Ska outfit The Selector, covered it circa,1980. The only words were "The killer, James Bond" in the horn breaks from a West Indian guy. Nothing but guitar and horns elsewhere.

I don't think so, this station seems to have a very obscure collection of music. In the 1 hour 16 minute recording I uploaded to YouTube, copyright detection found only one song (Rhythm of the Rain by Percy Faith & His Orchestra) and copyright detection on YouTube will find almost anything that has been officially issued on digital.
