I'm getting some very weak audio on 6771.2 KHZ at 1300 UTC tune-in. Music slowly fading in and out of the noise floor...lady singer.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Wolverine Radio 6952 KHZ to 6950 KHZ USB 0119 UTC MAY 26, 2014 UTC

« on: May 26, 2014, 0121 UTC »

Something here at 0121 UTC with intermittent signal.
0122 UTC Powerhouse S9+ signal now with blues song by lady singer
0124 UTC Man announcer with badly distorted signal breaking up, into song by lady singer also distorted.
Ooops....6950 KHZ...don't know if I was tuned to the wrong frequency or Wolverine switched from 6952 to 6950!
Nope....I listened back to the recording and just after the Wolverine Radio ID at 0124, a mans voice was heard saying..."back to 50 where it's supposed to be". A rare moment of Wolverine Radio op actually speaking! Cool! Signal distorted after that because he switched to 6950 and I had to retune!
0150 UTC Whopping signal here at S9+20 at peaks!!!

I've tried several times tonight since 0020 UTC, but all I get is a weak carrier here on 6974.2ish. Lots of static is making it tough tonight!

I'm getting occasional threshold audio here on 6771.1 KHZ, but not nearly enough to copy! Maybe later. If this is our OTR friend, they sure do get around!

Had this coming in with S9 signal just after Renegade closed down on 6935 and just before hitting the sack. Tuned in at 0326 UTC to spacey instrumental music. I believe a different instrumental tune was played at 0332 UTC (that's what my scribbly notes say!). Great audio, but I couldn't keep my eyes and ears open and called it a night. Signal was well above the noise here.

Fair here at 0100 UTC on 6880.6 with OTR program of indeterminate origin. Last night I googled Old Time Radio, and there are numerous websites streaming these programs. With my puny dial-up connection, I didn't bother logging into them to see if one was a match. Nice to have this though. A little too much storm noise here for decent copy though.

The worst of the T-Storm here seems to have passed, so I hooked my antenna up after jonesing for some pirate activity. XLR8 I presume here on USB at 0049 UTC with...uh...esoteric music pieces . S7 peaks amidst lingering storm noise.
