UNID 6949 2153z Pirate Radio Boston?
« on: December 09, 2011, 1324 UTC »
Heard until 2210 when it went off. Heard a mix of music, which I could not recognize. I know PRB was on 6950ish later, so I wonder if it was a test?

Pirate Radio Boston putting a fair signal into NH this evening, peaking S7-S8 mostly above the noise.

2248z ID - pirateradioboston@gmail.com - talking about how he started in 1982 and likes to get on the air at least once a year
2257z Slow fade down into the noise now... don't recognize the tunes
2300z Almost gone now, just a hint of a carrier coming through

Assuming that's the het I have here, but that's all.  Not enough for any audio, darn it!

This is a tough one but after several days I finally got a clear ID. I have PRB on 6949.5 AM with interference from sideband chatter on 6950 USB.
SINPO=33333

2258-ID given in the clear
2259-email address given in the clear

The music audio is great but the male announcer's audio modulation is very low.
