Europirates Logged in New York

[curious george]

All in all, not bad this weekend as several stations were on late Saturday night (thank you!). Propagation is good during the time just before dusk at my location. However, the early morning sessions didn't turn up anything other than carriers. It's just too late now.

PIRATE (Euro). 6275.1, UNID, 0712-0714 Apr 10, Don't think this was RFL, as they are usually right on frequency. No idea who this could have been, just a carrier unfortunately. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6284.7, WNKR, *2352-0045 Apr 9, Caught the usual sign-on theme for Dave Martin's show, then some obscure pop music. Recognized "When Smokey Sings" by ABC. SINPO 24432. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6285.4, Magic AM, 0651-0706 Apr 10, Too late to get audio, just a carrier. ID by Paul in the UK while on Messenger chat. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6290.5, UNID, 0651-0655 Apr 10, Again no audio, just a carrier. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6295, Valley Wave International, 2335-0057 Apr 9, As usual, this came in best just before sunset. Heard instrumental electronic music, which I later found out was Tangerine Dream. This type of music just doesn't have the "punch" required for these Transatlantic receptions. Still, pleased to be able to hear them again, as they were only using a 20 watt transmitter. SINPO 23332. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6300.84, Dr. Tim, 2329 Apr 9, Dr. Tim gave me a heads-up e-mail that he was on this frequency at this time, but all I got was the carrier. (Maroti-NY)

PIRATE (Euro). 6305.2, Delta Radio, 2308-2325 Apr 9, Deep voiced male gave ID and e-mail address which I couldn't fully copy. I did recognize the Beach Boys "Good Vibrations" close to when they closed down. SINPO 24332. (Maroti-NY)
