9425, AIR Bengaluru - National Channel, 1431-1440, April 15. In English; news bulletin; ID seemed to be: “This is the National Channel of A.I.R. on 191.6m, 1566 khz., 246.9m, 1215 kHz., and on shortwave 9425 kHz. and 9470 kHz., in the 31m band”; program “Vivdh”(?) with talk about “Leadership in Education”. This is the regular program in English that I have recently been hearing at this time and seems to only be in English every other day, but needs more monitoring to confirm.

Beacon Traffic monitored
Used my SONY-2010 in am mode with no filters, but my usual array of ALA100s. As Phil succinctly pointed out, the noise for this CLE was horrific. It reminded me of when I first started listening to BCNs about 11 years ago. Locals were spread over more than 20 khz. Canadians, when found, were the strongest of the bunch that could be heard for about 10 khz. W/O filters, it was very difficult seeing around all the local trees here on the middle coast. Could probably do a lot better without all the thunderstorms. A winter retry would be most interesting.
Ended up with 53 of 2,070 previously heard. In spite of ringing ears had fun remembering the days w/o filters and a high tech radio.

New video available at You Tube
A video with Bill Whitacre, who many will remember as our former North American Secretary, explaining how to listen to sounds recorded by the IBB Remote Monitoring System has been posted to YouTube.
IBB operates a network of over 70 remote monitoring systems [RMSs] in order to determine and demonstrate the audibility of its own and others' broadcasts.
Each RMS consists of an antenna, a radio and a computer attached to the internet. A simple text file script is used by the computer to collect and encode sound samples and bandscan information from the radio.

Clandestine changes frequency
5910, Shiokaze/Sea Breeze, ex: 6120, *1400-1430*, April 15. In Korean with piano music in the background; fair to good reception; another clear frequency for them. This is a good solution to their problem of jamming by N. Korea. Just change frequency before any jamming is used against them. Most listeners know by now that they stay in the 49m band during this time period, so it is not difficult to re-locate them. They were on 6120 for about 2 weeks (Ron Howard, CA)

6195.77, Radio Cusco,(presumed) 0038-0100, Part two: Noted a male in Spanish language comments. Can't recognize what the comments are referring? He could be discribing a sporting event or a religious revival? The noise is just a little stronger than Cusco's signal. most of the time. At 0055 music heard At 0057 noted a canned ID from a female as: "...Radio Cusco ..." during the music which continued.Heavy duty QRM on the hour at 0100 blocks Cusco completely.

6195.77, Radio Cusco, 0034-0100, Noted a male in Spanish language comments. Signal was very poor/threshold. Frequency is measured to the nearest Cycle. More will follow. (Chuck Bolland, FL April 17, 2009)
6019.30, Radio Victoria, 0834-0845, With a male in live Spanish comments giving time as "seis hora ... en matina ...", as he continues to talk until 0837 when canned promos heard. With the time, believe he was saying how long before six o'clock? Promos continue until 0840, then male with live talk again. So far the signal is good.(Chuck Bolland, April 17, 2009)
6019.40, Radio Victoria, 2319-2330 Setting on this freq prior to 2319 with only the carrier audible, at 2319 the audio popped in with a female in Spanish comments. She's shortly joined by a male. This continues to 2330 and beyond.Signal was poor. (Chuck Bolland, FL April 16, 2009)
Pirate traffic
6925USB Northwoods Radio/North Sea Radio. 2337-0035*. 11 April. EG. The reception was plagued by heavy static and poor propagation at tune in. Luckily, both improved greatly as the program progressed. ID by Mr. Savage at 2337 followed by The Delaware Destroyers featuring Mr. Thorogood with “I Drink Alone.” From 2345 until approximately 2353, it sounded like an IS loop with many calls from the Loon, “Thus Spake Zarathustra,” IDs, email address of rthwoodsradio@yahoo.com, and the first part of “Heavy Metal” sang by Mr. Hagar. At 2354, the call of the Loon was replaced by the cry of a seagull, Mr. Savage was promoted to Capt. Savage, and the station became North Sea Radio. The music then consisted entirely of songs with pirate themes. All in all, it was a very well produced program, and the music on the North Sea Radio portion was very nice indeed. (Wood)
9625USB WEAK Radio / Radio First Termer (?) Iraq w/70s pop music including "Spill the Wine" a Steppenwolf tune and somewhat out of genre "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straights. Lots of
local noise making reception poor, SIO 3+32+ ID and address at s/off as weakradio@gmail.com but IDs in the midst of the program were something like Radio First Termer Iraq. 0154-0230* 2/April

We'll also be back shortly with another new competition, again celebrating 50 years of statehood for Hawaii...and with a great prize!
Just released in the UK, Australia and New Zealand is the new pirate radio movie 'The Boat That Rocked', a comedy about the British pirate radio scene in the early 1960's. It's coming your way soon too.
It's produced by New Zealander Tim Bevan, who was just 8 years old when Radio Hauraki burst onto the Kiwi airwaves in 1966....and to celebrate the movie and it's Kiwi connection, we've got a copy of the original CD 'A Fresh Pacific Wind - Radio Hauraki 1966-1970' as the prize in our Easter 2009 competition!
