Free Radio Cafe: Pirate Radio On Shortwave & FM

7/4/12, 6925 USB, 0414z: Only caught tail end of WPOD show, with Hendrix "Star Spangled Banner" and shout-out to WPOD from RML.

7/6/12, 6925 USB, 0445z: Long John Baldry "Stormy Monday" and more blues. ID confirmed via IRC. 0453z: Sounds like "I'd Rather Go Blind", not sure which version, maybe Etta James (nope, Koko Taylor)? 0503z: Blue Ocean Radio ID 0509z: Sheryl Crow "Can't Cry Anymore". Also hearing odd moaning sound ef...

I haven't been able to get clear enough copy of this program, which I've heard three times since the weekend, to be certain whether it's an actual WBNY show or a spoof. Logging what little I could copy in case anyone else heard it more clearly or got a good recording. 6/26/12, 6925 AM, 2340z: Just b...

Same received here, thanky kindly, sir. Fun show, really good reception for that broadcast on the 18th too. I'll try to get the audio clips uploaded soon.

Heard Tangerine and Magic theme shows here as well. 6/24/12, 6950 USB, 0230z: Hearing various versions of "Tangerine", including Sinatra at the moment. Fair to good through heavy local RFI. 0236z: Wolverine Radio ID after another version of Tangerine, gal singing. 0243z: SSTV of tangerines SINPO=424...

6/25/12, 0200z, 6950 AM: Ditto, TCS baseball show reprise, good via east coast remote tuner. Melodramatic reading of "Casey at the Bat", Springsteen "Glory Days", Abbot & Costello "Who's On First" SINPO=34233, not much QRM but fierce QRN and some fades. Not as strong as last weekend via same web tun...

Great videos. That's my favorite Joni Mitchell song. I'd wondered how her alternate guitar tunings would sound live - sounds amazing. Now I'll have to YouTube the other live performances with Pat Metheny and Jaco Pastorious.

6/18/12, 6925 USB, 0230z: Just tuned in, heard TCS Relay Network ID and "Baseball!". Verrry dramatic reading of "Casey at the Bat", sounds like Borlis Karloff reading, tough copy through fades and local noise. Springsteen "Glory Days". 0243z: Abbott and Costello "Who's On First" routine. I dunno. Th...

5/20/12, 6925 USB, 0820z: Turtlehead Radio ID, music. Not sure if been on awhile and just now peaked, or just started. 0834z: "I'm An A$$hole" (Denis Leary?), Edwyn Collins "A Girl Like You" (and some voiceover by op, couldn't quite copy through noise) 0839z: Colonel Turtlehead asking for requests. ...

5/18/12, 6950 USB, 0015z: For a few hours this evening, copying audio loop of OM voice repeating phrases from TIMIT speech recognition experiment. Purpose uncertain, possibly someone testing speech recognition software over shortwave. Repeated phrases : "She had your dark suit in greasy wash water a...

4/28/12 Radio True North on 6950 AM from approx 0400-0715z: "Hot Child In The City", Radio True North ID, Berlin "No More Words", Soft Cell "Tainted Love". 0659z: "Approximately 6950 AM" RTN ID, Irene Cara "More Than A Feeling" Flashdance song. 0715z: RTN moved to 6945 AM from 6950 AM Ah Ha "Take On...

4/28/12, 6925 USB, 0200z: High Plains Relay Service relay of The Crystal Ship.  Fair to good over the usual blanket of white noise RFI on the home rig and indoor antenna.  "FCC F*** You" and "F*** You All So Very Much" songs. 0214z: Donner family restaurant parody ad, Juliana Montana ID. 0216z: Comm...

I caught part of turtle's head too. Didn't hear any other audio though.

This report from our local Fort Worth newspaper is a noteworthy case because it involves a fairly uncommon instance of personal liability being affirmed against individuals libeling other individuals online in publicly accessible forums.  Whether it withstands appeal is another matter. Nowadays libe...

4/22/12, 6930 USB, 0342z: Red Hot Chili Peppers "Otherside", Voice of Captain Ron ID, mostly just barely audible. HF condx not good here today, including earlier on 20m.

4/22/12, 6950 AM, 0430z: Radio True North fair to good outdoors with Sony ICF-2010 in AM sync.  M "Pop Musik", Boston "More Than A Feeling", Gary Numan "Cars", clear IDs for Radio True North and gmail contact info.  Just a little too much local RFI for clear copy indoors with the Palstar and fugloop...

4/21/12, 6935 AM, same content as logged by other folks for Undercover Radio's most recent show.  Attaching screen capture of east coast SDR waterfall.  That blazing red strip?  That's Dr. Benway's signal.  It was much stronger than the usually strong nearby religious broadcasters.   :o http://i216....

4/22/12, 6925 USB, 0149z: Looks like a visual theme.  The Who "I Can See For Miles", Doors "My Eyes Have Seen You", Moody Blues "Lovely To See You" 0153z: Wolverine Radio ID, CCR "Long As I Can See The Light", Yes "I've Seen All Good People" 0204z: Hot damn Tuna "I See The Light" - digging deep into...

4/21/12, 6925 AM, 0410z: Sounds like monologue, rough copy due to fades and being adjacent to Undercover Radio on 6920 USB. The monologue seems to be 6925 USB, and there's an AM station with strong carrier, so there may be three stations on between 6920 and 6925? 0416z: AM carrier gone, still hearin...

4/21/12, 6930 USB, 0253z: Voice of Captain Ron ID, just fixed some antenna problem, moved from 6925, coming in better here. Shout-out to Sealord, jfarley. "I'm needing radio therapy." Reminds me, I'm needing a beer...
0321z: Still hanging in there but longer fade outs than other recent shows.
