For a long time I've been noticing logs of a Russian station on 3940 kHz named "Music Wave Radio". I never managed to hear this ID but the other day I heard "Russkoe Piratskoe Radio" (Russian Pirate Radio) and e-mail
address podradio@mail.ru
I sent off a report and the next day came a response from Evgeny Shaden with a QSL and some info: 'Russian Pirate Radio' is indeed the name of the station, "Music Wave Radio" together with "Nostalgic Broadcasts" and "Radio Wagner" {Russian Legion of Foreign Soldiers group left Mali territory recently} are just the titles of the programmes.
My observation is, that their programmes are generally biased towards patriotism. Their schedule is Saturday and Sunday 1900 "until early in the morning. They give the transmitter power as 20 kW, which would explain the strength, but they will not disclose even the country where the transmitter is located.
