Free radio pirates on medium and short wave messageboard of alfa lima

Playing the Selector "On My Radio" at 2235 UTC. SINPO 24232 in NY. Thanks whoever you are for staying on so late.

Here in NY, at 2057 UTC, I can receive the following

6220 Mystery Radio
6305 Radio Mazda
6280 weak audio, probably Merlin?
6258.9 just a carrier

Thanks for the ID, much appreciated. I also have the station on 6400 here in NY. A real pity about all the static crashes, otherwise all this stations would have understandable audio. VOTN is the best signal of the three I am receiving right now: 6267 6280 6400 I can hear the announcer's voice on 62...

Spoke too soon in my post about 6267. I do have a carrier, just slightly above 6280 kHz here in NY at 2157 UTC. Will continue to monitor, in case some audio pops out of all the static crashes here.

No sign of Merlin here in NY on 6280 unfortunately, but I do have a carrier and some very weak audio on 6267 at 2146 UTC. Does anyone else here this? A tremendous amount of static crashes makes this almost impossible to ID.

Hello SWCH, happy to report that I also hear you now in New York on 6309.7 kHz at 2147 UTC. You just finished playing a song by Creedence Clearwater Revival. SINPO is 23232, lots of summer static crashes here.

I hope to tune in also. Can you please clarify, when you say 2400 hours, do you mean UTC, or Central European Time? I will probably even give a quck listen early in the morning. Thanks.

Ray, It sounds like you logged the US pirate, "The Wave" on 6925 USB. Several logs of this reported on the FRN, and Ragnar has an audio clip, so you can listen and compare if it sounds like what you heard: http://www.frn.net/vines/Forum4/HTML/011592.html Tuesday 29 April 6925usb UNID, 19.3...

Thanks for your help in ID'ing this one Rick. Mazda usually comes in here much stronger than this, I guess long skip conditions weren't that good on Saturday evening.

Have what sounds like a Dutch station here on 6305.1 kHz at 2058 UTC. Announcement by a Dutch accented man at 2059. Can't make anything out yet, too many static crashes.

Hi Marcel,

Yes, Barretina have e-mailed me two QSL's for my receptions this weekend. Very nice QSL, glad to add it to the collection. My first from Catalonia.

Good conditions to Europe again this evening. Hearing Radio Barretina here much better than the past two nights, with some Eagles music. At 2006 UTC was "Take it Easy" then at 2009 "Witchy Woman".

WMR also coming in here, but they were stronger for me yesterday.

One again we have Radio Barretina on 6311.1 here in NY at 1942 UTC, still with weak audio. SIO 232

Also, WMR on 6399.9 kHz with an air check, S6 at 1943 UTC, SIO 333.

I went to the Radio l'Arboc website: http://www.radiobaixpenedes.cat/ and clicked on the link, "Radio Online", and their audio stream is exactly what I am hearing on 6311.1 kHz. So this must be Radio Barretina relaying Radio Arboc. (Although at times there is a UK accented female that says...

Any ideas who is on 6311.1 kHz at 2253 UTC? Audio is very weak here, I'm hoping it's Radio Barretina.
