Outbander 11m SSTV images: 3/29/14
Weekend Logs: 3/29/14 to 3/30/14
Weekend Logs: 3/29/14 to 3/30/14
YHWH: 21450U, 3/29, 1913-1921* Religious station here on the edge of the ham band getting hammered by QRM. When other stations are off the air, it's 100% copyable. Trying to hear enough of the programming to get a read on the op's theology. Op only says "Yahweh" not "God." Going through the 10 Commandments, one by one, with commentary in between. "Thanks for choosing this radio station, YHWH." Into weird synthesizer music. "Thanks for tuning in to radio station YHWH. Until next time, I love you. Radio station YHWH now signing off." If the operator's out there, Please QSL...also I have a recording.
Ran some errands, continued digging out a flower bed, and checked the computer YHWH is back:
YHWY: 21450U, 3/29, 2016+ Tuned back in to hear the weird synthesizer song. Sig about as good as last time, but most ARO QRM on the frequency. OK, the op does say "Yahweh God." I tuned into the broadcast earlier than last time, but absolutely hammered by QRM. I think he said this show was "Break the Evil Spell of Satan." I think he just said "...the homosexual Catholic Church." He said something like "Christendom has exhibited nothing but bloodshed throughout its history." Now talking about how the 5-pointed star on the US flag is satanic. Hmm...I'd like to hear more of this to be able to put these comments in context with the rest of the programming. It would definitely benefit YHWY to move up a few kHz and get out of the ham band...and I'm sure the hams would appreciate it, too. An exasperated ham just repeated "Frequencia en uso" a few times. From what I can tell, the programming seems to have settled into more traditional Christianity. Wow, I've just had about a minute without any QRM!
Planted some trees and now back to check the radio. I have strong carriers on 6921.7 and 6930 kHz. Not sure who they are. Checked HFU & found a Europirate:
Tip & Elvis: 6220, 3/29/14, 2246+ Weak with pop music. Time for supper, but I'm recording. I returned to the radio & heard a bit of music then an announcement and the bands are wiped out by local noise.
The noise disappeared and according to HFU logs, 6930 is Premier Radio from Ireland. Also, I'm hearing what, according to the op in Iann's Chat is Radio Flying Dutchman on 6255 kHz. Pretty good carrier, but barely any audio here. I had some audio on 6324.3 & I think it was Radio Dinosaur from Europe. Lots of noise on the band, though.
Radio Appalachia: 6935, 3/30/14, 0011-0113* After listening to Europirates, trying to pull information out of the static for the past hour or so, I tuned to 6935 kHz, where there was a huge signal with bluegrass music. Lots of live older country & bluegrass music. "Radio Appalachia, you are listening to Radio Appalachia, broadcasting from high atop Moundsville, WV, this is Radio Appalachia." by Male announcer with echo. The Carter Family "Peace in the Valley" "Old Rugged Cross" "He Walks with Me." Lots of t-storm noise tonight, but strong signal. Thanks for the show & please QSL.
Wolverine Radio: 6950U, 3/30/14, 0114+ Starting with old swing songs. I don't have the titles for what I've heard, but every song has mentioned "tonight," so I think that's the theme of tonight's show. Excellent signal & audio
Horizon FM (Canary Islands): 6205, 3/30/14 0440+ Good signal with light pop music. Definitely worth a listen deeper into North America in regions where Europirates usually can't be heard.

Auds'n'Ends: 3/29/14
Auds'n'Ends: 3/29/14
I've been posting a lot of SSTV images on here from 27700 kHz lately.
Some people might wonder why, considering that it's not pirate broadcasting. These stations are unlicensed (the callsigns are self organized, from within particular organizations, such as the Alpha Tango group), but the operators are not broadcasting.
Well, for one thing, I think they're fun to tune in. They look more like amateur radio SSTV images than images that I've seen around the pirate bands, but you never know what might roll in and it's a good way to check propagation on the frequencies to various parts of the world. Also, some Dutch pirates have talked about their outbander activities. Between my posts here and Chris' posts on HFU, I wonder how long it'll take for a few pirate station images to pop up on 27700 kHz?
Posting Outbander SSTV pics are also a good way to keep the blog rolling along while I'm trying to write this book. I don't have as many chances to write here when I need to be working on the book, so letting the radio idle on 27700 kHz and then dumping in the images seems like a non-time-consuming way to post something that's somewhat interesting.
I don't really know, but my guess is that Outbanders go back to the '60s. I first read about the stations in Harry Helms' How to Tune the Secret Shortwave Spectrum, back in 1981, so their existence does at least reach into the '70s. Maybe some outbander who's been checking out this blog can let me know more about their history.
* My mast blew down in a storm about two weeks ago and I haven't yet put it back up. It's been windy & cold and the signals are still pretty good. Go figure. My mast is just seven fiberglass Army-surplus poles that were used to post camoflage netting in Desert Storm, so it's not like I lost a 100' TV mast or anything. Here's a pic of the top pole down, with the insulator and antenna attached to the top:
* I added a few paragraphs to the Philco 87 restoration article today.
* The other night, a DXer in Maryland reported hearing Channel Z in the middle of the 49-meter broadcast band, on 6150 kHz. Chris S and others then logged it. I heard it, too, and it sounded like it belonged on the band.
* Speaking of odd places to hear broadcasts, earlier today, someone was playing old presidential speeches on 17975 kHz. No IDs reported. Weird stuff. I need to dig through my old logs for the unid stations that were evidently pirates that I've heard up in this region.
* I received an e-mail from Dr. Tim, with some broadcasts from individuals who purchase airtime on private shortwave stations in Europe:
