Not much to report yet, as I decided not to wake up in the middle of the night to tune into the Sunday morning pirates. Noise levels were just too high on Saturday night, so I didn't think a Sunday morning session would be productive.
However, an encouraging sign was how early I could hear stations on Saturday evening. Both Boomerang and Ramona (with only 15 watts) were audible two hours before my local sunset. It turned out that noise levels were much lower when I first tuned in, hence reception quality was better. As darkness approached the noise went up, but the signal strength of the stations remained the same, and the overall signal quality was degraded.
PIRATE (Euro). 6299.9, Radio Boomerang, 2040-2127* Sep 23, Ballad at tune-in, then only 2 minutes of "When the Rain Begins to Fall", when he pulled the plug. Back on the air at 2115 with "Popcorn", ID at 2121. SINPO 34333. (Maroti-NY)
PIRATE (Euro). 6400.5, Radio Ramona, 2053-2250 Sep 23, Very surprised to catch some audio so early from this 15 watt station. Recognized "Hound Dog" by Elvis, then later "Iron Man" by Black Sabbath. Operator confirmed via #pirateradio chat channel that it was him. SINPO 13331. (Maroti-NY)
