One Dog Radio

6930USB 2 April 2023 0122-0219* Opens with music with an Indian / Asian feel. Lots of fading and often unusable. Spatter from 6935 didn’t help. Three SSTV images of a single, happy dog, all in Scottie 2. The last two contained an ID. Broadcast seemed to end after the third image, at 0219. Hard to tell, but I think 3000 Hz was right. (25342, Hunsicker, PA)

PEE WEE

6930USB 31 March and 1 April 2023 2349-0037 seemed to start with Rock music. Only 14 dB above the noise. And it was noisy. Almost all “unusable.” It was amazing that two SSTV images in Scottie 2 opened the last an ID. I’m not sure if the BC ended or if it faded away. 3000 Hz. (25241, Hunsicker, PA)

Radio Franz Schubert

6925USB 2 April 2023 0246-0322* Opened with rock music (said to be Blue Suede Schubert) followed by music composed by Schubert. OM occasionally talked over the music. Pleasant change from the normal pirate radio fare. 2800 Hz was about right. (45454, Hunsicker, PA)

WAPE

6925AM 1 April 2023 1126-1219 A carrier appeared at 1126 and then audio at 1127. 9000 Hz sounded best. Over modulated, corrected after 1205 or so. PSA for lead-based paint. Promos for George of the Jungle. Old rock. Maybe gone at 1219, maybe not. (45443 after over-mod corrected, Hunsicker, PA)

Voice of Laryngitis (via NAPRS)

6936.87AM 31 March 2023 2320-2353* Opens with ID for NAPRS then a barking seal, then an ID for VOL and Sharp-dressed Man. Spy numbers, FCC field offices, and Pirate Busters. Peskies on USB lowered the overall quality. 6000 Hz seemed good. (33342, Hunsicker, PA)

Voice of Laryngitis (via NAPRS) 6936.87AM 1 April 2023 1221-1259* Opens with ID for NAPRS then a barking seal, then an ID for VOL and Sharp-dressed Man. Spy numbers, Pirate Busters. The level of noise made listening unpleasant. 6000 Hz seemed good. (25342, Hunsicker, PA)

6935AM 2 April 2023 0134-0213* A carrier appeared at 0134 but there was no audio until 0142 the CIA spy numbers were read, then the barking seal and an ID for VOL. Sharp-dressed Man followed. Pirate Busters. Peskies on LSB lowered the overall quality as did noise, muddled audio, and occasional popping in the broadcast... 6000 Hz seemed good. (33342, Hunsicker, PA)

KNOB

6925/U, 0027-0100+, 4/2; Spoof Beatles feature about
The Ruffles. “KNOB” overdub ID @0034:50. 005:20 “KNOB don’t

6925USB 2 April 2023 0017-0117* BC in progress, interviewing Mick Jagger. Ruttle-mania. Long story of the Ruttles, a Beatles parody group. 3000 Hz fit well. (45444, Hunsicker, PA)

3885+v, April 2 at 0615. Music in hamband, AM subband area, last few notes of `When Johnny Comes Marching Home`. Initially with het; trying to measure, off and on with bits of music,
like 3885.1, 3885.22, 3885.26. Nothing reported around here in HFU recently or in the past week, but once something on 3724.8 (Glenn Hauser, OK)

7319.9 approx., April 1 at 0624, JBA carrier, perhaps R. Vostochnaya Zvezda, SW USA pirate, which was supposedly going to use7320, ex-7325 USB & FM, ex-4015 USB. EiBi shows nothing on 7320 anywhen; HFCC and Aoki, only Shiokaze at 1700. A few earlier reports: [www.hfunderground.com] (Glenn Hauser, OK,)
