More Pirate Radio Waterfall Images

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor Perry Lusk, who writes:

Thanks to Dan Greenall for the article on SDR waterfalls. There is a lot of activity lately that I have found on the Kiwi SDR KF8KK located in Michigan.

So far, Stern Radio has the most creative examples:

As you can see, they broadcast in Motorola C-QUAM Stereo AM. The SDR will decode it by selecting QAM next to the AM mode button. It is quite the experience.

I have also attached an audio recording in stereo:

Radio Sighting in “Let’s Get Harry”

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Perry Lusk, who writes:

Guess what kids? Another radio sighting from the 1986 film Let’s Get
Harry! Lots of big names in this one including Mark Harmon, Robert
Duvall, Gary Busey, and former founding member of the Eagles Glenn Frey.

While on a covert rescue mission in Columbia, they found the bad guy’s
hideout with some old Yaesu equipment among other radios.

Hmmm… I wonder how far they could get out with that mag-mount
antenna? And what band is it tuned for?

Perry spots a Zenith Transoceanic in “The Alligator People”

Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Perry Lusk (KG7YC), who writes:

I spotted this on an old “B” rated film:

Might be more fun to identify the movie than the Zenith Transoceanic we all know.

The answer is The Alligator People (1959). The man is diagnosed with a fatal medical problem and try’s getting an experimental procedure that involves alligator DNA and later turns into a, you guessed it, an alligator!

Wow! That sounds like a wild ride for the protagonist!

So we may all recognize a Transoceanic when we see one, but does anyone know the exact model? Feel free to comment!
