Relay of RJI show aired earlier on WBCQ 5110. Kracker interviewing
George Zeller, whose pirate radio related column was recently dropped by Monitoring Times magazine.
Just began being audible here on my own receiver around 0828 UTC, with big signal jump around 0838z.
Zeller mentioning logs indicate that shortwave pirate radio activity is at an all-time high (I'd agree, lots of activity the past couple of years despite erratic propagation). Talks about the appeal of pirate radio, including original material and comedy programming.
0852z: Mojo Nixon pirate radio song
0854z: WBCQ ID, from earlier broadcast of this show on 5110.
0857z: Continuing with relay of earlier WBCQ show, now with Cosmik Debris mentioning WNKR and Andy Walker, who recently announced WNKR would cease broadcast after many years in pirate radio. Hearing Jane's voice in there too.
0909z: WNKR relay just jumped up out of the noise, but some glitches in the stream
0920z: WNKR relay with Ronnie Spector and Ronettes "Baby, I Love You"
0925z: After some audio dropouts, signal completely faded out here suddenly.
0950z: Leave it to Beaver jingle just audible, still mostly fading to inaudible here.
1007z: Uncle Bob bits in the mix! I'm guessing this isn't WNKR now.
1021z: "Area 51 is on the air..." sounds like Sycko's voice? Guessing this is a continuing relay of various bits from WBCQ and others.
1026z: Sycko Radio ID from his Area 51 show on WBCQ
1106z: Continuing with relay of Sycko Radio from his WBCQ Area 51 show, presumably from web stream or other source since 5110 isn't on air at the moment.
1130z: Sounds like Subgenius variation of "Hey Bob-a-Ree-Bob" song
SINPO - 34322, some good clear peaks, lots of fades to barely audible.
Thanks for the relay, oh mysterious night owl pirate, whoever you are. This actually came through better here than earlier show on WBCQ 5110.
