PIRATE (Euro). 6878.1, Pirate Music (Italy), 0000-0102 Jul 5, Thanks to an alert from Dr. Tim, I first tuned this station in on a web receiver in England. I was surprised at the signal strength, as this station claimed to be using low power. By 0000 I could hear some weak audio on my receiver in New York. I recognized "What a Feeling" at 0011, and that the announcements were in Italian, as this station was relaying an Italian FM station. An e-mail from the station operator, McGiver confirmed he was only running 30 watts on an R&S SK010 transmitter. SINPO 23232. (Maroti-NY)
PIRATE (Euro). 15810L, Radio Spaceshuttle International, 0150-0228 Jul 7, At tune-in, I could easily copy the Hollies "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", followed by a pre-recorded ID. Although the signal strength was very weak, the noise levels were too. It was easier to copy the music audio compared to the live voice announcements. (Maroti-NY)
