Radio Gallifrey Intergalactic?
« on: March 23, 2016, 1504 UTC »
Radio Gallifrey Intergalactic. They seem to be a pirate station that broadcasts randomly in North America and I have been trying to pin down when or if they broadcast anymore. Here's what I know so far.
They broadcast on 6955,6935,6925, USB(most often around the set of NA pirate frequencies) usually at or around 000 UTC.
Here is a list of broadcasts to date.
1. 8-31-13, Saturday
2. 9-2-13, Monday
3. 9-22-13, Sunday
4. 10-9-13, Wednesday
5. 11-16-13, Saturday
6. 5-15-14, Thursday
7. 7-8-14, Tuesday
8. 12-29-14, Monday
9. 6-3-15, Saturday
10. 6-13-15, Saturday
11. 6-20-15, Saturday
12. 2-10-16, Wednesday

As you can see, their broadcast dates are sporadic, as they never seem to broadcast on a single day, month, or even season. They also have no website and have only released one QSL(that being a eQSL) in their history can be found here:(http://swling.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/twGallifrey-QSL.png)

They have also been known to broadcast SSTV images at the end of their shows, shown

If anyone has any additional information, please feel free to post it in this thread.

But is it connected to an antenna tuner?
