UNID - 6938kHz @ 430 UTC - Bond Themes Radio?
« on: August 11, 2011, 0454 UTC »
We caught a pirate at 6938 kHz.  It seems to be Bond obsessed (I've caught Thunderball, Theme of Bond (Trailer), You Only Live Twice, and The Man With The Golden Gun, just started Live And Let Live)

ETA: The *original* Bond theme after those, at 0457 UTC.

I think its call is WBND or WBLD, but I got no results looking for it.  Anyone else know?

Off-air at 0500 UTC.  North American broadcast (Line is something about "Broadcasting from North America to the world.")

That would be seem to be "James Bond Radio".  They haven't been active for maybe four years...
(seems like longer)  Nice to hear they were back on!

Very possibly.  The video's recording's heavily distorted, but there was one that had the guy speaking-- they sound similar.  I'll listen again tonight, or every night, for a week to see if it shows back up.  If I can confirm either way...  :)

For those wondering-- I've been watching it for over a week, but with no reappearance of a signal on that frequency and time, or even with those themes.  If it was Bond Radio, maybe it was a one-off and lucky catch.  I'll keep monitoring for it.  :)
