Relay Station 5010 AM 1630 UTC 01 Feb 2018
« on: February 01, 2018, 1633 UTC »
Picking up the Relay Station on the NE Pennsylvania WebSDR, 5010 kHz signal S7 - S9 with fading, mixed music comprised mostly of oldies.

I can't pick the signal up on my Tecsun PL-660 here in Florida but I'm enjoying the show on the WebSDR!


Edit at 1848 UTC - Thank you so much for relaying my radio show "VORW Radio Int." I appreciate it very much!

Pretty good signal here since around 1650. A lot of oldies. A few min ago, playing a show that seems to be aired on a few licensed SW stations. Thanks for the show!

A bit of occasional fading but very nice audio with s7 signal here in Harrisburg, PA.
The band has been very alive today; WWV 5 MHz never faded out today- normally I don't hear it during the middle of the day, even in winter.  Today it was quite strong at 12 noon.

Relay Station pirate radio station
5010 kHz 5.010 MHz 5.01 MHz
60 meter broadcast band
AM mode
local SIO 413 - strong S5-S7 signal and nice audio, but wideband QRM (possibly over the horizon radar) making reception very difficult....this QRM sounds like a lawn mower engine or a scooter without a muffler its really annoying
remote receiver SIO 444, nearly perfect at points with some QSB

thanks for the show!

2120 UTC - tuned in to hear OM talking with some wideband pulse-type QRM that's about 60-70 kHz wide
2122 UTC - OM talking about how he doesn't really have a fashion icon, good audio and signal.
2123 UTC - this QRM is infuriating, as it is strongest right around 5015 kHz and at times overwhelming Relay Station's audio
2124 UTC - I checked WWV on 5000 kHz and the legal SW broadcaster on 5025 kHz and they're both suffering from the same QRM
2125 UTC - tuned back to Relay Station on 5010 AM to hear music again! 
2127 UTC - signal jumped up to S7, some fading up and down noted
2138 UTC - switched to a VA remote receiver (no QRM there!) to hear "Wheel In The Sky" by Journey
2139 UTC - signal peaked at S9 for a few moments, then dropped back down to S5-S7
2141 UTC - "Crazy on You"
2142 UTC - switched to another remote SDR, much better signal...armchair copy on NY remote receiver
2143 UTC - fading/QSB - peaks at S9 to S9+10db, dipped down to S5, then back up to S7-S9 range, nice wide audio
2144 UTC - still bouncing around signal strength wise - by comparison, WWV is S3-S4 and very noisy
2146 UTC - Jimmy Eat World - The Middle
2147 UTC - selective fading is becoming more rapid - visible on the sidebands on the waterfall display of the KiwiSDR
2201 UTC - S7 signal, selective fading has become less of an issue but can still be seen on the waterfall
2203 UTC - Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. speech with music in the background
