It's catch-up time from Free Radio Weekly newsletters. The following logs are a sampling of what pirate radio chasers have logged in recent weeks.
All times UTC *sign-on / sign-off*
GBS
3910LSB, 2230-2248.* Playing disco era tunes, pauses every once in a while to let the hams talk, then starts up again. One ham said it was VE9ZL. At one point he broke in and said, "GBS, GBS" (Griffith B'casting System?) S9 signal. (Frodge-MI)
Hunk-a-Junk Radio
hunkajunk6925@gmail.com
6925 USB, *2225-2248.* SIO 242/242. Apparently new station with odd program. Started out with children's hot dog music - sort of like Hot Dog Radio. Went into old time ads, including Chevrolet and Old Spice deodorant. Take Me Out to the Ball Game tune, into Abbott and Costello's Who's on First routine. A variety of standup comics made up the latter portion of the show. Gave numerous ID's with addresses, but it was hard to tell if it was Hunk a Junk Radio, or Hunk a Dunk Radio. Actual ID appears to be Hunk a Dunk Radio. Address is therefore hunkadunk6925@gmail.com. Male announcer appeared to realize that people were having trouble copying the ID, so he gave the ID numerous times. It was still hard to copy. (Zeller-OH) [Per QSL posted on the FRN, it's Junk, not Dunk.]
KARR Mobile Radio
6940USB, 2352-0105 Program of Heavy Rock Music from Iron Maiden /Death Metal Music to others. ID's as 'This is KARR..Mobile Radio" at 2358,0008,0013, 0033 and 0059 hours. Great audio and signal hit peaks of S4 to S6 at times. Posted logging on FRN as well. Would appreciate a QSL for this broadcast, which can be sent to: ekusalik@telusplanet.net Many thanks for this broadcast from 'KARR..Mobile Radio' (SIO 444/3 Kusalik-ALB)
