Radio GaGa: 6925U, 2254 Playing Barnes & Barnes "Fishheads" ELP "Lucky Man" etc. "Live from Zipper Lake" ID
Unidentified: 6955, 2309+ All percussion, no IDs heard yet. Nice signal here with deep fading
I made the mistake of eating supper and a bunch of stations were on the air, according to logs on the HFU: CCC Radio, NSDAP Radio, and WBOG + an unidentified station or two. My guess is that NSDAP Radio was either some programming aired by CCC Radio or was a different show aired by the same pirate. CCC Radio was KKK-related station that made a couple of broadcasts in the '90s, long after the Voice of Tomorrow had stopped. I never heard the station, but The ACE printed one of their QSLs.
Wolverine Radio: 6950U, 1/1, 0030+ Beautiful signal. Was listening while digging through '90s ACEs, trying to find any logs of CCC Radio (still no luck).
Radio Free Whatever: 6925, 1/1, 0130 Playing "Indians" by Anthrax.
Radio Celestial: 1710, 1/1, 0200 Driving around in the car for a while and heard zilch for a few min. Then got to one spot and could hear Spanish-language contemporary Christian music, so I assume it was them. This immediately faded into what I assume was the NJ TIS, with a promo on getting flu shots. Typical telephonic audio. Best I've ever heard the TIS. Could hear co-channel splatter here, so I assumed it was from 1700 kHz. But then I got home & saw that Undercover Radio was on 1720, so maybe that's where the splatter's coming from. Unfortunately, the MW band is really buzzy here, so I can't really hear anything...and my car stereo only goes up to 1710 kHz.
Fake Numbers Station: 6925, 1/1, 0205+ English numbers
Unid: 6925U, 1/1, 0645+ Tuned in to some music & hit Record
X-FM: 6960, 1/1, 0645+ Still on the air. Fair signal
Radio Plate Current: 6925U, 1/1, 0700+ A lot of electronic dance music with two DJs. Long periods of talking & announced an e-mail address a few times and with phonetics. Announced the e-mail "because we're in the 21st century." Just sent an e-mail to see if I copied the address correctly. If I get it, I'll list it here, but I don't want to post incorrect info if I can possibly avoid it.

Auds 'n' Ends 12/31/13
Happy New Year's Eve!
In some ways, it seems kinda dumb to write that because when I peck away on this blog, I'm essentially just writing to myself. It's kinda like a journal that's left out by the sidewalk in front of the house. I know that some people check it out, but I don't know people open it up, think "??" and walk away or if some people come back from time to time and really read it.
It doesn't really matter to me either way; I'll keep writing here, in part because it's going to make creating the PRAs easier. Also, it is kinda nice to have a radio journal to refer to.
So, "Happy New Year's Eve to me...and to the spammers in Malaysia, who might take time to read this"
* I see that Miley Cyrus and Robin Thicke are going to be on the CBS NYE show. Will I be watching to see if they do something "scandalous?" No. I could care less what new attention-getting scheme they shoot for this time (unless it's them running a pirate radio station).
When it comes to NYE programs, one thing comes to mind (and it's not Dick Clark). It's WGUT/WHOT, who made NYE special every year for about a decade. Here's a link to their 1986/87 NYE show. And here's a five-minute video of them as WGUT ringing in the new year in 1983. I'm wondering how long it be until someone relays one of these NYE shows on NYE?
* A great but little-known comic strip ends today, Cow & Boy. You can check out their archives here.
* Interesting how little pirate activity there's been in North America the past few days. I guess everyone's either gearing up for tonight, tired from all of the Christmas broadcasting, or planning parties.
* Frank Sinatra on the radio on New Year's Eve 1943 is a bit of a diversion from typical posts here

Post-Christmas Weekend Loggings: 12/27-12/29/13
Radio Dr. Tim (NA relay): 6925, 12/27, 1335+ Weak here with occasional bits popping up clearly. Heard mention of the station being a member of Pirates for Peace. Not sure when the last time was that I heard R. Dr. Tim, but it's been a long time...nice to hear again. SSTV at end of show:
WTPR: 6930, 12/27, 1445+ Tire Pressure Radio. Chain-letter type broadcast about listening to the show will cause low tire pressure. Mentioning different DXers who now have flat tires. Beerus Maximus reported this 12/27 broadcast first on HFU and just heard him mentioned in the program. He's apparently risking low tire pressure. "You are the next victim of tire pressure radio...even when warned, you kept listening...your tires have been deflating while listening..." Stories about listeners who tuned in around 1910-1920 and discovered that their tires were flat after the broadcast, etc. Lots of effects: reverb, delay, slowing down audio, etc.
Pirate Radio Boston: 13960, 12/28, 1640+ Nice to log a North American pirate on a high frequency again. Good sig here with Charlie Loudenboomer and Mr. X playing Joe Walsh. Some multipath echo on the signal. Not only being heard in the US, but also by several DXers in Germany & Finland. Possibly elsewhere, too!

Christmas Loggings: 12/24-12/26/13
Captain Morgan SW: 6951, 12/24, 2250+ Nice signal, clear IDs, Beach Boys Christmas song.
Merry Christmas!
WBNY: 6950, 12/25, 1415+ Nice signal, announcing the Belfast maildrop. Said that they only mail out QSLs 2x/year, so be patient. Into long montage of "monkey" audio clips interspersed with WBNY IDs.
I just received a Christmas present from the staff of WPOD:
Thanks!
Radio Dr. Tim (tent.): 6925, 12/25, 1856+ Weak signal. Light pop with a woman singing. I just tuned in, ID per HFU.

Holiday test broadcasts and schedules, 2013
We're officially into the season and I've started to receive e-mails about upcoming tests. If you want to announce a schedule in advance (remember, be safe about it), e-mail it to me and I'll list it here. With any luck, maybe a few stations will be heard by more people and in other continents.
With band crowding in Europe this time of year, expect more stations to operate outside of the typical 6200-6400 area. Here are some of out-of-band transmissions, just from the past week (thanks to Dr. Tim's Pirate News):
6450 Readymix 2300
6746.9 Radio Pioneer 0920
6795.7 Pink Panther 0840
6807.8 Sundown Radio 1115
6909.9L Baltic Sea Radio 0912
6910 Premier Radio 1945-2100
6930 Transeurope Radio 1324
6949.9 Coax Amateur 0830
6974.6 Ronalisa Amateur 1308
Pink Panther Radio marathon schedule
12/28 update: PPR e-mailed to say that he moved to 6798.5 kHz
Pink Panther Radio from Holland is planning to broadcast for approximately five straight days, from Dec. 26-31 on 6798.5 kHz. The station has been heard by a few DXers in North America, so this should be a good opportunity for new listeners to tune in.

Radio Geronimo Test on 12/22
Dear friends of shortwave radio, something is happening on 6070 kHz.
Last Sunday the tests of our new stand-by transmitter between 9 and 10 UTC were
successful. This weekend we will try to run the transmitter for the first time
with regular programming.
We hope, during nighttime, too; this should make reception possible in the U.S.
For this transmission we would be glad to get detailed reception reports, esp.
concerning modulation.
Furthermore we would like to draw your attention to a program of Radio Geronimo
Shortwave, that will be aired on Sunday 22nd, from 10 to 12 UTC.

He will also host FRS Goes DXMas with the latest news from the wonderful world of wireless. Last but not least: Paul Graham will be doing an 80s show. Within the programmes
October mail and Season’s Greetings will be read out. There also is the Phrase that Pays. FRS will most likely commence at 08.00 UTC/ 09.00 CET.

Fessenden Tribute Broadcast on 12/31 and 1/1
Brian Justin, WG2XFQ, will be broadcasting a tribute to to honor Reginald Fessenden’s Christmas Eve 1906 AM voice transmission. The tribute was also aired on 12/24 and 12/25, but I forgot to mention it here. Kilokat7 logged the station in Michigan on HFU, so there are possibilities for listeners in the Northeast to hear it. The schedule is 486 kHz (longwave) from 0001-2359 UTC. This was advertised by the ARRL, so I'm sure everything's legal, but I guess I need to take a look at the rules that allow someone to broadcast music on this frequency with 500 watts. Interesting possibilities! Much more info is available on the ARRL site.

My pre-Christmas weekend loggings: 12/21-12/23/13
Pirate Radio Boston: 6925, 12/21, ca1300. I heard Christmas music on 6925 kHz, hit record, then had to leave to run some errands. Guess I'll update this after I check the recording.
Snowball Radio: 6930, 12/21 Christmas music, including Ramones "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)." Part of the time the signal was good & sometimes it was really watery.
UNid: 1720, 12/21, 2345+ I have horrible grinding noise here on MW. I'm guessing that it's a powerline transformer problem somewhere. After seeing a logging on HFU, I checked here and have heard audio fade up above the grinding noise a few times, but that's about all.
Liquid Radio (tent.): 6925.2, 12/22, 0003+ I saw that Liquid Radio was on. The carrier is here and I'm occasionally getting brief fade-ins on the fast techno dance beat, but it's barely there and only occasionally.
Snowball Radio: 6930, 12/21 Christmas music, including Ramones "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want to Fight Tonight)." Part of the time the signal was good & sometimes it was really watery.

"All I Want for Christmas" 12/20/13
All I want for Christmas…
The nondefinitive guide to gift purchasing and receiving for
shortwave listeners, pirates, and other hobby broadcasters.
OK, it’s only five days until Christmas, so this doesn’t
leave much time for shipping, let alone shopping or handing out lists to the
ones you love. If you try submitting lists now, you might wind up with
fruitcake, which could be a good thing if you’re the pirate who runs the
Fruitcake station.
But, with that in mind, I looked up some interesting items for sale on eBay for SWLs & pirate listeners:

Disclaimer: I don’t in any way endorse any of the products
in this article; they are simply items I thought looked interesting while
searching around on eBay.
· * LPB AM-30 carrier-current transmitter. $99. Your
own legal AM station, signal controlled only by the power lines and its power
transformer. Of course, without the coupling unit, it possible to output the
AM-30 into an antenna for significantly less-than-legal operation.
* E. H. Scott receiver in the cabinet. What’s
cooler than a huge, heavy boatanchor? A huge, heavy boatanchor covered in
chrome. Unfortunately, this one is missing the speaker, so the seller doesn’t
know if it works.
* Sanyo RP-8880. $89.99. Lots of knobs. How
often do you ever see a Sanyo shortwave radio?
* Delco 1102 1935 tombstone radio. $59.99. Here’s a good price on a fairly uncommon radio that needs a lot of restoration, both physically and electronically. The shipping is about as expensive as the BIN price, though.
* Guy Guden Space Pirate Radio LP still sealed. $99.95. Who
wouldn’t want a copy of this? Of course, the price is a bit more than that of the typical CD.
