0210 E Prunes - "Too Much to Dream"

Thanks for the ID, Ron!!  We never heard it here the first time around...
weak, fady, slightly muffled audio; OM has Brit accent

Thanks, whoever you are; what could be heard was interesting!
Your QSL very much appreciated!

I tuned in at 0129.

Certainly similar to what I heard last night (UTC).

Threshold audio here, sounds like someone talking over music, difficult to make out at 0143 UTC.  Maybe coming from Europe?

0145Z 15111 They're deep in the noise. See a definite carrier with a  good lock, but audio is very low. Heard a "radio" for an ID, but nothing more. Hearing music, but unable to tell what it is.

0148Z 25231 Gerry & the Pacemakers "Ferry Cross the Mersey"
0202Z 15231 Procol Harum "Whiter Shade of Pale"

Playing a recording of a British pirate radio program.

Listening on a NJ Perseus and the signal is very good. Heard an ID, but signal faded at exactly the crucial moment. Figures. Sounded like "You are listening to Radio <something>urch."  (Lurch? Search? ??)

Also checked some Perseii in UK & Germany, but heard absolutely nothing on the frequency.

0237Z Program is done & all can be heard is a dead carrier.

the station is very strong here with some distortion esp. when he just gave the ID a couple of times.
talking alot about radio caroline and some of the other European pirates in the 70's and 80's.
running almost s8 now he gave an id and apologized for the distortion.
 
wish his audio was better as it would be a good show.

I can hear bits of music and talk     There is a huge ute just below that I cannot notch out so no details

ID as Offshore History Radio

Very interesting program.  Thanks for the broadcast!

On from at least 0129 UTC, Offshore History Radio signed off at 0237 on 3 January 2012

Fair signal, occasional fades.  Generally intelligible in Wyomissing, near Reading, PA

Offshore History Radio is a program of CoolAM Radio from Holland coolamradio(at)hotmail.com

I suspect a relay since cool uses a 5 watt tx and a stick antenna

Cheers, Terry

Terry;

Thanks for that info.  Never thought it was a tx from across the pond, but it is really nice to know the program origin.
