quite strong on Canary Islands EA8BFK KiwiSDR and heard well into Europe, pirateradioboston@gmail.com announced, I emailed them but no reply yet *update- got a very kind reply*

[Andrew Yoder]

VG/excellent signal with alternative pop. One sounded like it might've been from a Japanese synth band. Much weaker but still copyable on the Sony 2010 and PL880 with just the whip antennas. Heard a couple of clear IDs and Charlie giving out the e-mail address via the 2010. Nice to hear PRB again!

0337: Bruises by Chairlift.
0340: I Miss You by blink-182.
0344: Always Be by Jimmy Eat World.
0348: Glass Danse by The Faint.
0350: Phantom Limb by The Shins.
0355: The Greeks Were Right by The Faint.
0401: Oscar Wilde by Company Of Thieves.

0404: Back on with ids, email address and saying that was a test.

[William Hassig]

Tuned in at 0346 utc on Brookfield WI sdr with weak S9 to S9+10 signal, hear rock music above low noise level, tried several other sdr's east, west and Canada but all were worse, at 0404 said it was a test transmission, at 0406 off air.

Fair reception with some digital crap cochannel, with, "This is a test transmission from Free Radio Boston" several times to 04:06 UTC, then off.  That's a long way from Masset, BC (due south of Ketchikan, AK)! 

[ChrisSmolinski]

Quite good here on the SDR recording, thanks!
