Blowing out my receiver on 7.382 AM
« on: December 03, 2015, 0427 UTC »
I don't recognize the singer, some woman and it sounds like maybe gospel.  Lighting up my meter at S9 on the west coast.  Is it possible it's a licensed broadcaster?

I heard it, its off now. 7385am here. It sounded Christian music so I'd say it wasn't a pirate.

But 7.38+ isn't for licensed stations, is it?

Given the frequency it was on, it was most likely a commercial broadcaster.

That is part of the 41 meter band, allocated for commercial broadcasting. Most pirates in North America use 43 meters, in particular from 6900 to about 6975 kHz with 6925 kHz being the most widely used frequency.

they are pretty much over the entire HF spectrum.
there isnt anywhere you can tune without hearing that raspy sounding voice of that old man that sounds like hes losing his vocal chords from yapping too much.

That's seals the deal for me, Redhat. I'm selling all of Fansome's belongings and shipping him to Walterboro.

Brother Stair will know what to do with him. I'll pin a note on Al that says "Keep Away From The Goats" so their won't be any mix-ups when he arrives C.O.D.
