Mix Radio International

11950 USB, Feb 19 at 0045, poor S3/S4 into Maryland SDR with music reported as classical. With ACI but clear here; CNR1 jamming and RFA Tibetan via Kuwait should start at 0100 when I do hear a time signal. First reported to WOR iog: ``11950 Feb 18 0025 UNID in USB mode. Classical music in sequence without narration. Excellent signal on Atlanta SDR. Here in my QTH good signal. None of the other broadcasts from Cuba feature classical music at this time. Announcer with ID in English at 0030, but I couldn't identify. Can someone help me? Still streaming. 73 Jorge Freitas, Feira de Santana, Bahia 12°14´S 38°58´W - Brasil, Tecsun PL-660, XHDATA, Antenna Delta Loop and LW 20 meters`` - Cuba not on 11950 weekends. At 0158, a reply: ``Hi, Jorge - This is pirate station Mix Radio International on 11950, according to the HF Underground board. By the way, here near Seattle, it's a very good signal on 11950. It's even very audible here without USB on. Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington``. And later at 0310 from him: ``I'm not sure, when the station switched frequencies, but after hours on 11950, pirate MRI is now on 11935 USB with classical. Sounds good here on the U.S. West Coast! Eric Fetters-Walp, Lake Stevens, Washington`` (Glenn Hauser, OK)

Mix Radio International 11935 USB, so I try that and 0418, S8/S9 into northern Utah SDR, with more familiar classical music than before but no IDs of the music. 0433 YL IDs like ``Finest Sounds: You are listening to MRI, Mix Radio International, Worldwide`` and at 0444 inviting reports to mix.radio.international@protonmail.com Appears to be off at 0539 check (Glenn Hauser, OK)

MW Pirates:

1720/L WDOG w/”Walk like an Egyptian (Bangles) and other pop songs, with the occasional dog howl. 0347 whistle and ID as “W-D-O-G” and back to music. At 0350 more barking and into (The Cure) “Just like Heaven”. 2+53+3+2+ not bad really, but very has much down in the band noised so only ‘poor to fair’ overall. 0344-0355 5/Mar RSPdx +SDRuno +ANC-4 --Zichi MI

UNIDS

6950/U, 2304-2319+, 3/5; Jazz, reggae, techno & that C&W classic Indian Love Call, complete with yodeling. Female, lady woman spoke, “...I’m not here to confine you.” (?) Digiburst 2316:52-2317:12. SIO=4+54 peaks (Frodge-MI)

6925AM 5 March 2023 1126-1233* A faint carrier appeared at 1126 with an YL singing. About 15 dB over the noise, which is too weak for AM in my neighborhood. Unusable until 1142 when the all-Disco program continued. I never heard what sounded like an ID. 9000 Hz bandwidth, so really nice sound for a Pirate. (35453, Hunsicker, PA)

6919.57AM 10 March 2023 0027-0104* Carrier appeared at 0027, but programming did not start until 0035. The Top Ten countdown from an old BBC Hit Parade program. I never heard what I thought was an ID. Peskies were on 6925LSB, so I used LSB rather than AM. (25442, Hunsicker, PA)
