New station? Need for help with identification!

Post by ulx2 »

Dear Sirs,

Today (29.11.2011) I had heard station with pop-music and female announcements in English, generated by text-to-speech software. Frequency was 6205 kHz (as I remember, not sure on 100%), mode - LSB, Time UTC - about 1945. SINPO = 34443 (up to 44444 before CD on ~1955). Please help me to copy station name and their e-mail address (recording is in attachment). Thank you in advance!

Alexandr,

It is very difficult ... she says the station name very quickly. Maybe the operator will respond on this forum because I can't understand the station name either. :(

At 0:34 the name is spelled by the computervoice but it's not 100% intelligeable.
To me it sounds like A-S-S-H-...T

So maybe ASSHOT RADIO?

Holy shit! Never heard of that station before.

Or perhaps Asshat? That's a frequently used word among North American pirates these days... Perhaps someone in Europe has picked it up :)

I hear this (I reduced the speed a bit - it was too fast):

"You're tuned to Radio Asshat International. E-mail is Radio Asshat at gmail dot com. That is Radio Asshat at gmail dot com. Asshat spelled as alfa sierra sierra hotel (inaudible) tango."

Hello !

I heard the same station several times since Wednesday 23rd of Nov., with strong SSB signals, only once in AM. It was Radio Achab? in my first reports, but other DXers reported it as Radio Arcade (I did not agree with that).

Thanks for info, 'cause I could not replay the IDs. I think this station can be somewhere in N. or E. Europe, and uses maybe 1 kW !

Thanks to everyone for the help with identification! Many thanks, Kai! Yes, probably "Radio Asshat International" (I already imagine their QSL :)). I had heard RAI again with music and closing down announcement at 23.12 UTC on 6305 kHz (LSB) on 3.12.2011 (23.15 - closing down). So email address is: radio-dot-asshat-at-gmail-dot-com (i checked it, it works, but no reply from RAI yet). Thanks again!

73!
