Pirate chasing
The Crystal Ship, 6876, 0012. Poet on with a rare show. The conditions hampered IDing any of the music. It may have been something by Springsteen and The Police. I did hear a clear ID at 0015. Poor.(Wood, TN).
Outhouse Radio, 6930AM, 0005. "Outhouse Radio" ID with lots of classic hardrock music in an awful hail of static (Ragnar)
Radio GaGa
6925, 1215-1226. SINPO 35443. Early morning pirate radio with music from Steele Dan, Under Pressure, Radio GaGa loop, GaGa ID at Sign off. (Ragnar) 6925USB, 2312+ Poor signal, but for once, the identifications were clear. Heard two identifications. (Majewski CT)
Voodoo Radio
3450USB, 0045+ Good Rev. Bow Voodoo back on the air with a "Support the Troops" show. Tough copy through heavy static with some signal improvement toward end of show. (Sedlacek-NE)
Voice of Chaos
6925USB, 0050. Fair/distorted audio to song, Dust In The Wind. Headlines read from London newspaper: "contraceptives fight climate change." Pop music song, Psycho Chicken, sudden fade, good ID's given often. Emailed VOC at both oiceofkaos@gmail.com and voiceofchaos@gmail.com and so far neither bounced.
