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.

0434 thought it sounded familiar. (And wasn't something called International Radio for Disaster Relief (HFCC)). Only about S6-7 into SW Idaho, nice music, pretty noisy, moderate fading, getting it on both Eton E1 and Airspy HF+ Discovery with my new Wellbrook ALA1530LNPro Imperium. 0438 male voice speaking but couldn't copy the words or language.

No, this was initially misidentified as IRDF. It is actually a pirate in the Southwest USA.

I thought it sounded familiar meaning I thought it was Radio Vostochnaya Zvezda and not IRDF.
I think RVS is in the Great Basin, not the SW (which is generally considered to be AZ, NM, West TX)

Sorry, my mistake. I know where RVS is, he used to operate under a different station name and he has his state and town on his Facebook page. I can PM it to you if you want.

He's been using English for announcements more frequently lately. He's no Josiah, that's for sure. He doesn't have that "Mojave Baked Brain Syndrome".
