BALL SMACKER RADIO:
 
6/25, 0100, 6960/AM; Piano IS, ID, Go all the way - The Raspber-
      ries, Southern man - Neil Young, ID, Straight on - Heart.
      0123 Southern cross - Crosby, Stills & Nash, ID into a
      fade. Generally fair signal with slow fades in & out for
      the entire program. (Taylor – Wi)
6/26, 0112, 6960/AM; on Barringtom Hills IL sdr with fair S9
      to S9+10 signal but some static, tuned in locally with
      fair/poor S9+10 to S9+20 signal over S9+10 neighborhood
      noise, @0118 switched to St. Michel des Saints QC with
      fair/good S9+10 to S9+20 signal, seems to be a travel
      themed program, at 0242 utc fading away on both St. Michel
      des Saints QC & Barrington Hills IL sdr with S7 on both.
      Nice program, thanks for the tunes. (Hassig-IL)

      On the Turning Away (Pink Floyd), South Side (Moby), Turn
      Your Love Around (George Benson) & the classic Whoot,
      There It Is (95 South), among many others. I’m guessing
      the theme was direction or navigation’ or something simi-
      lar. Also many YL IDs & mention of 6960 AM etc. Ended w/
      yet another new SSTV image & Wildfire. 454+44--Zichi MI
      Ball Smacker.jpg
6/26, 0234-0236+, 6960/AM; Turn Turn Turn, pin crash, “69-60
      kiloHertz AM”. SIO=4+53 (Frodge-MI)

CLEVER NAME RADIO:

6/27, 2320-2326*, 6925/U; ID & email address repeated three

      and atmospheric static, song "25 or 6 to 4" by Chicago.
      (Hassig-IL)

MIX RADIO INT’L;

6/25, 0012, 6860/U; on Brookfield WI sdr with good S9+10 signal,
      instrumental jazz-rock playing, looks like very wideband
      signal on waterfall. (Hassig-IL)
6/25, 0037, 6860/U; Cool Jazz via MRI, End of jazzy song, 0039
      “Cool jazz" ID, bit of music, MRI ID, into mellow jazz.
      Program of mellow jazz with UK accented DJ announcing
      music, discussing folks sending e mails & mentioning MRI
      with “Cool Jazz” ID’s.  Lots of light jazz.  Good with
      MRI’s usual wide USB signal. (Taylor – Wi)
6/25-26, 2337, 12090/12095/U; on Barrington Hills IL sdr with
      clear S7 signal, nice jazz tune, @2341 stn adjusted freq
      up to 12095, @2350 tuned in locally with fair S9 signal,
      less neighborhood noise on 12mhz compared to 7mhz, just
      for laughs I tuned it in on Cork, Ireland sdr & it was
      barely audible with S5 signal, @0020 tried Maui HI sdr
      with very weak but audible S3 signal, still S9+ locally,
      still on @0215 nice music, thanks (Hassig-IL)
6/26, *0238:40-0402:34*, 6980/DSB (no carrier!) “Mix” music &
      no ID/anmts until the end; including such hits as Dose
      Your Dreams (Fucked Up) Every Other Night (Peter Bjorn &
      John) & Friendly Aliens (Chad VanGaalen), not a single
      one of which was familiar. FINALLY gave an ID @0332 “You
      are Listening to Mix Radio Int’l on Shortwave” mumbled by
      YL & “Thank you for tuning in to Mix” at s/off 0402:28
      45544 some strange selective fading that looked like CODAR,
      but wasn’t & the sidebands were not at all symmetric with
      the USB looking wider than the lower but with some weird
      patterned fading more obvious there (but present in both).
      --Zichi MI

      Bowie, off 0145. (Taylor – Wi)

      tunes like Lust For Life (Iggy Pop), Stand & Deliver (Adam

      Type (The Cars) among an eclectic mix. No ancmts heard
      while I listened but HFU reporters said there were IDs
      earlier). 35443+ with fades up to O=4--Zichi MI

COMMENTARIOS

Rick Barton: Hoping there will be a fair amount of Pirate acti-
vity for the 4th weekend. I appreciate them all, even if their
signals don't reach all the way out here. July 4 usually marks
the beginning of our severe thunderstorm season out here, but
the season began early this year, and I'm having to "cut off"
my outdoor long wires nearly every day. Hard enough to hear
eastern USA pirates even then, much less with indoor shortwires
or my improvised bedroom windowframe antenna. But, like the
cops aways say, "It is what it is". Wishing all a Happy 4th!
