I had a fair carrier on 6950 from 2008 UTC until 2019 UTC but there was no detectable audio. Just checked at 2045 and I have nothing there now.

The SDR in Ireland had Audio with ID of Radio Voyager with Hotmail but unable to get main E-MAIL info just @HOTMAIL.com... Signed off at 3:40 Central US Time or 20:40 UTC

Listening from the Murray Harbour North, PEI DXpedition site and noted this week pirate in AM, exact frequency being 6949.934.  They signed off in English giving an email address as possibly Radio Dorothy at hotmail.com.   Ring any bells with anyone.  Possibly a Europirate rather than a N American pirate.

Listening again, you are correct!   Thanks for the correction.   Europirate, I'm assuming.   Off at 20:45 UTC.

Re: Radio Voyager 6950 AM ? UTC-2045 UTC* 31 OCT 2017 Back on at 22:15
« Reply #14 on: October 31, 2017, 2220 UTC »
They must be back again at 22:13 tune in with a very strong signal.  Frequency is identical to the positive Radio Voyager ID before going off the air at 20:45.  Beautiful piano music now at 22:15 (not very Halloweeny, though!).  Best on our 100 deg 2000' Beverage antenna.  Thanks!
 Yes, Radio Voyager ID in Italian just before Radio Voyager at 22:19.[/img]
