The Relay Station 5200 AM 1647 UTC 17 Jul 2017
« on: July 17, 2017, 1650 UTC »
Fair to good signal on the K3FEF WebSDR in northeast Pennsylvania.

S7 signal, peaking at S9 on 5200 kHz.

Mix of 80s music.

Good to hear The Relay Station again!

Great to hear 5200 again!

Tough copy unfortunately due to low foF2 values today and static from some nearby storms.

Off at 2202.

1730 Tuning in via Radio McRadioface kiwiSDR in NJ, just as "Take Me To The River" Talking Heads is ending. OM speaking. Fair to good copy. Thanks for returning to the air!
2032 WHAR ID following "As My Guitar Gently Weeps" Beatles, and preceding "The Harder They Come" which I presume is Jimmy Cliff. According to this FB page, they're on 92.9 FM somewhere, and on 5200 kHz. So is that someone other than the Relay Station?

I doubt it MDK. As someone who used to relay programs, if you sent your program to me and I liked it, I ran it. A lot of the programming you hear on the pirate bands is relayed material from studio pirates or done as a favor for another op who is feeling some heat.

As the great Bram Stoker is purported to have said, "Pirate radio is four guys with transmitters relaying everyone else." He wasn't far off the mark then or now.
