July 3-4th pirate logs
6930 DSB. Radio First Termer. Already on when I started at 2201. Chatter between guys about pirate radio and other things, 2207 and 2213 Web site. History of the station by operator Dave Rabbit. Program seemed to be a loop. Still going when the computer battery died at 0149. Was getting a carrier on 6929.92 2305-2310, 2325-2332fair at times. Best in the last 20 minutes. (3-4 July/Dave Valko, PA/Cumbre DX)
6924. Captain Morgan. Signal first came on at 2318:10 on 6924.64, and music about thirty seconds later and mainly uncopiable announcement except for ".we'rebroadcasting." Into Blues music program. Distorted announcement at 2348 with possible station ID, 0020 brief "Captain Morgan Shortwave" ID. At 0125 e-mail address.Announcements were distorted. Poor but best after 0140. Station still on at 0149. Drifting down to 6923.9. (3-4 July/Dave Valko, PA/Cumbe DX)
6955, WMPR. Signal came on at 2349:57, and rock music began at 2349:30.Canned ID by male and frequency by woman at 2358. Same announcement throughout the broadcast. Station off at 0036:47. Massive S-9 +20 signal. (3-4 July/Dave Valko, PA/Cumbre DX)
July 4
6925USB. SRV Radio. Tune-up about 0128, finally on by 0132 with Let Me Love You Baby. Fading a bit as Stevie Ray Vaughan tunes Texas Flood, Honey Bee and Tightrope followed. ID as, "this is SRV Radio...the best in blues radio" Signal fading more by 0150, total fade out by 0155. No mention of an email contact (or at least I didn't hear it) (Gayle Van Horn, NC)
6955USB. Devil Radio. 0153-0208. Signal poor with fading and co-channel pirate interference. Heavy metal tunes from Megadeath and maybe mentioned their website. Hard to copy with fading and low mod. (Rod Pearson, FL)
