Europirate Logs from New York
Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 15:14 pm
Very favorable propagation on Saturday afternoon on 19 meters, which continued into the evening on 48 meters. Unfortunately, 48 meters here in the early morning hours was extremely disappointing. It seems to be still too early to hear the Sunday morning transmissions from the Europirates here. Most stations were already in daylight for over an hour by 0630 UTC. Saturday evening/night conditions have been good in general.
A couple of audio files are posted at: http://home.att.net/~piratedx/
PIRATE (Euro). 6239.35, JRRI (presumed), 0632-0643 Oct 16, Heard what sounded like soul vocals at tune-in, then a male announcer at 0641 UTC. Strong utility QRM on USB, and some voice traffic on LSB. SINPO 12331. (Maroti-NY)
PIRATE (Euro). 6269.4, Alfa Lima Int'l, 2255-0023* Oct 15, Back on 48 meters for the evening/night broadcast, with more techno music. Although Alfred signed off briefly at 0023, he was back on when I did a bandscan around 0140 UTC. SINPO 34333. (Maroti-NY)
PIRATE (Euro). 6304.84, R. Paardenkracht (tentative), 0639-0712 Oct 16, Only a carrier, which unfortunately didn't break into any audio. Tentative logging, based on some logs posted to pirate radio forums. Had they come on the night before, like Delta and Alfa Lima, I'm sure it would have been possible to get some audio from this one.

PIRATE (Euro). 6308, Delta Radio, 2153-2338* Oct 15, At first tune-in, heard the DJ mention "Westside" but later heard him give the Delta Radio ID and e-mail address. Rock music and some Dutch music. The signal improved to SINPO 34433 at close-down. (Maroti-NY)
PIRATE (Euro). 15069.6, Alfa Lima Int'l, 1500-1745 Oct 15, Once Alfred switched to the 300 watt xmtr, the carrier frequency dropped down a bit. Propagation steadily improved as darkness approached the Netherlands, and SINPO improved to 34444. Pounding techno music and greetings to many listeners in the USA, and even Australia. (Maroti-NY)
