THE LOGS

     =+=+=+=+= North American Stations/Relays =+=+=+=+=

BALL SMACKER RADIO:
8/28, 0108, 6960; Playing TV themes with ID every few songs.
      Good throughout the evening. (Taylor – WI)

DAMN SKIPPY:
8/28, 0011, 6930/U; Entertaining program of 2 sea shanties or
      Irish sea songs followed by an SSTV (blue image with
      clouds & sun, imaginary ship with large tower on it,
      fighting ship lit in full sail, part of face and eye with
      ship reflected over the eye, sea turtle with depression
      in the sand, Pirate ships sailing away with “Damn Skippy”
      drawing of a pirate flag with skunk peaking from behind
      with pole held by a squirrel, ship sailing into the sun-
      set.) (Taylor – WI)

L0DE RADIO:
9/3, 0242, 6969/U; pirate mostly talk with 2 or 3 guys chatting,
     rapidly, poorly enunciated & a hard time figuring out what
     they are talking about, but F-bombs & S-bombs every few
     seconds! Yet one manages a big word, ``neuro-linguistic``.
     Maybe a call-in over phones? Bits of wild ``music`` here &
     there such as 0249.5. S9+20/30. I wonder if the frequency
     choice convey a secret implication? 0303 discussing compu-
     ters. 0308 muse about ``trying to get on all SW frequen-
     cies``; eQSL from L0DE@L0DE.com sounds like &  0 = zero,
     mentions HF Underground. 0311 disjointed music to 0314.7*
     Many reports here as: ``L0de Radio Hour 6969 USB 0113 UTC
     3 September 2021`` [www.hfunderground.com]
     index.php/topic,85862.0.html L0DE.com is a real Not Secure
     website, leading to numerous audios of previous broadcasts
     of Nov/Dec 2018 tho I`d never heard it nor heard of it
     before. Maybe this replayed one of them (Glenn Hauser, OK)

MIX RADIO INT’L;
8/30, 2223-2230+, 6880/U; Classical music selections cut short;
      RoboW ID o/music. SIO=3+53 (Frodge-MI)
8/31, 0040, 6880/U; classical music. ID @0041 with email
      address mix.radio.international@protonmail.com &
      “This is mix radio international worldwide." Excellent
      signal, s20. (Will-MD)
8/31, 0148, 6880/U; only pirate activity is here, S9/+10 with
      classical music, believe it or not! 0151 ID as Mix Radio
      Int’l, more classical. I keep listening in astonishment,
      as most pirates avoid classical like the plague. But MRI
      after all is ``mixed`` & have broadcast various genres
      before. Let us say these are ``popular classics``, war
      horses of tuneful recognizability. At 0258 going from
      ``Deutschland ueber Alles`` to the VVV opening of Beet-
      hoven`s Fifth. At 0205 I switch from own rx to remote in
      Maryland which is getting it equally well at S9/+10; 0206
      another ID but music unseems named.  I suspect there be
      some repetition before it`s all over, but haven`t kept
      track of individual pieces. No announcements at all heard
      in final hour to sesquihour, abruptly off at end of final
      piece at 0340*. Many other reports here starting at 2214
      August 30, all classical: [www.hfunderground.com]
      board/index.php/topic,85786.0.html I am pleased to see
      positive comments from other listeners, perhaps encoura-
      ging more of this from MRI or others. Some comment on the
      wideband audio, but on the KiwiSDR I find plenty of highs,
      sorely lacking in bass response if not bass transmission;
      rather tinny; no equalizer? (Glenn Hauser)

NOWHERE RADIO:
8/27, 2357, 6974.9/AM; (probable Nowhere Radio); The now typi-
      cal dense rock music segued. Fair-good (Taylor – WI)
8/31, 0037, 6974.9/AM (presumed). Spacey, mellow, ethereal
      music. @0111, playing some heavy metal or swamp metal
      music. Fair to good signal, s7/s9. (Will-MD)
9/1,  0126, 6974.9/AM; pirate music at S7-S9, much more than
      the usual JBA off-frequency carrier from presumed Nowhere
      Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK)

OUTHOUSE RADIO:
8/22, 0140, 6955/U; Rock, Easypal image (didn’t decode,) Set-
      ting sun, another Easypal image, pause SSTV (lone wolf
      walking on a road “a wise man can always feel alone,”)
      into solo guitar.  Later ID as Outhouse Radio. Poor
      (Taylor – WI)

RADIO 6:
8/29, 2110, 6925/AM; Tentative ID. Oldies mix, Mamas & the
      Papas, "Radio 6" ID @2112, more oldies, How Can I Be
      Sure, Sunday Will Never Be the Same. Fair to good
      signal, 27-30 dBu. Faded to the noise level but came
      back good @2124, with music, Say a Little Prayer For
      You. 2127 jingle, then more music, Bee Gees, To Love
      Somebody; Tell It Like It Is; Windy; Bobby Vee, Come
      Back When You Grow Up; Linda Ronstadt, Different Drum;
      2144, Feelin' Groovy. Repeated Solid gold jingles
      @2146 three or four times, then off. Fair to good
      signal. (Will-MD)

RADIO FREE WHATEVER:
8/29, 0130, 6965/U; Was tuning around @0130 on my sony 2010
      with rod antenna & heard weak signal, fired up desktop
      computer and tuned in on Normal IL & Barrington Hills
      sdr's with noisy S7 signals. (Hassig-IL)

RADIO GENIX:
8/25, 0053, 6950/U; Hard rock, other rock segued, 0105 talk
      including an ID into similar music. Poor–fair. 
8/27, 2328, 6950/U; on Normal IL sdr, fair/poor S5 to S7 sig-
      nal, old 1970's top 40 tune Ballroom Blitz. (Hassig-IL)
8/28, 0001, 6950/U; Ill be there & other pop with an ID
      eventually. Fair (Taylor – WI)
8/29, 0048, 6950/U; on Normal IL sdr, fair S9 signal, song:
      Have you ever seen the rain. (Hassig-IL)
8/29, 0107-0144*?, 6950/U w/lots of familiar Pop/rock tunes
      like Come On Eileen by Dexys Midnight Runners & Rocket
      Man by Elton John. ID at :14 as “You are listening to
      Radio ?? Shortwave” into House of the Rising Sun; War
      Low Rider & Herbie Hancock Rockit. SSTV at :26 into
      R.E.M End of the World As W Know It (And I Feel Fine)
      & CCR Down on the Corner. Then another SSTV at :34 an
      audio ID by roboYL at :36 (this one understandable) &
      immediately another SSTV. Then Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla
      Ice & Beam vs Cyrus featuring MC Hammer U Can’t Touch
      This (That ID is ALL from the Music ID app rather than
      my knowledge!) Apparently off at :44 (maybejust got a
      lot weaker?).
      Genix 6945 SSTV.jpg
      3+53+43+ with the thunderstorms over the lake making it
      somewhat rough copy.--Zichi MI2
8/29, 0203-0234, 6945/AM w/more pop/rock tunes mostly just at
      the noise floor & an SSTV at :04: that if I didn’t know
      it was a photo of the Russian woodpecker antenna with
      Radio Genix in red below it I don’t think I would have
      been able to see it!
      Genix 6950 SSTV.jpg
      even rougher copy here than the USB 5 kHz up was before
      --Zichi MI2
8/29, 2113, 6950/AM; Classic rock mix, House of the Rising Sun,
      Beatles, Here Comes the Sun, Elton John, Rocket Man.
      29-34 dBu. 2147, music by OMC, How Bizarre. 2154, "You
      are listening to Radio Genix". (Will-MD)

9/1, 0126, 6974.9/AM; pirate music at S7-S9, much more than the
      usual JBA off-frequency carrier from presumed Nowhere
      Radio (Glenn Hauser, OK)

SYCKO RADIO:
8/29, 0306, 4860/U; Electro-music; Voice ID @0308:30 mentioning
      4860 & pondering what to play next; syckoradio@gmail.com
      SIO=4+54- (Frodge-MI)

TRUTH RADIO INTL:
8/23, 0140, 6925/U; Woman talking, R&B, woman with maybe an ad,
      another R&B, ID into a man talking. Poor (Taylor – WI)

WTF RADIO:
8/27, 2230, 6926/U; Light rock, perhaps an ID (not comprehen-
      sible,) more light rock (80’s style), ID into similar
      80’s music as the signal improved.  Started poor then
      improved to fair.  Later switched into FM for a time
      which was visible on the SDR scope, but not audible. 
      (Taylor – WI)

YEAH MAN RADIO:
9/3, 0030, 6924.78/AM; Peaking S7 here @0030 UTC. As usual,
     his carrier is "wobbly." Currently playing some cool
     jazz. (Robins)

YHWH:
9/3, 1454, 11840; I run across the intonations of Josiah,
     anti-Christ pirate Station YHWH, but unreadable as S7-S9
     equals the high local line noise level I still suffer
     from. Seems he is often on 11840 in the mornings. Pre-
     viously with good signal into Alberta remote, not checked
     today (Glenn Hauser, OK)

ZEEKY:
8/28, 0022, 6933/U; on Normal IL sdr, fair S9+10 signal, hear
      Good Ship Lollipop sung by Shirly Temple. (Hassig-IL)
8/29, 0140, 6933/U; on Normal IL sdr, fair S9 signal, S7 on
      Barrington Hills IL sdr, DJ saying he's checking to see
      who is listening, talking about Wisconsin, played
      heavy metal and death metal music. (Hassig-IL)

UNIDs:
8/22, 0150, 4850/U; Classical music with sound effects (wolf
      howls, clicks, etc.) hard rock solo guitar, 0203 ID over
      quiet part of music into more Industrial/dance music.
      Poor-fair. (Taylor – WI)
8/25, 0105, 6974.9/AM; (probable Nowhere Radio); Brief break
      into dense rock/dance music. Fair-poor (Taylor – WI)
8/26, 0041, 6974.9/AM; (probable Nowhere Radio); Dense rock
      music. Poor (Taylor – WI)
8/27, 2325, 6910/U; on Normal IL sdr, fair S7 to S9 signal,
      strange electronic music, actually this is nice music,
      @2334 momentary QRM de ute. (Hassig-IL)
8/28, 0415-0418+, 6950/U; Mungo Jerry’s In the Summertime.

      & mellow tunes. M op talking over music @2218 but can't
      make out any details of what he's saying. Fair signal,
      s5/s7. (Will-MD)
