\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post<\/em> contributor, Richard Lacroix, who shares the following:<\/p>\n

First off, thank you goes out to John Hudak’s timely post on the ODXA group. Shortly after his post, I was able to quickly tune-in and intercept 2 pirate radio stations on September 5 2020 during the period 00:30 to 02:17 UTC.<\/p>\n

John’s post read:<\/p>\n

“Pirate station WDOG is on 5060kHz. USB right now as I write this – 0027UTC Sept. 5, 2020 (8:27 p.m. EDT Fri. Sept. 4). Fairly good signal, playing various rock and pop songs. Frequent ID’s between songs and sound of dog barking.”<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were in actuality 2 sequential broadcasts. The first from WDOG on 5060.0 kHz USB from an unconfirmed start time until sign-off with “Star-Spangled Banner” played by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock at 01:53 UTC.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The second broadcast followed suite by Radio Station EFP, as well on 5060.0 kHz, but this time in AM mode. Radio Station EFP continued to broadcast until approximately 02:17 UTC after which it started to exhibit deep signal path fades and eventually went off-air at 02:17:40 UTC.<\/p>\n

Armed with the combination of devoted listeners posting reception reports and a radio always at the ready, this made for a very exciting 2 hours of SWL.<\/p>\n

Included is a 10 minute audio compilation for everyone to enjoy which I stitched together from the 2 plus hours of off-air broadcast recording I saved:<\/p><\/blockquote>\nhttps:\/\/archive.org\/download\/pirate-audio-station-compilation-5060-k-hz-2020-09-05\/Pirate%20Audio%20Station%20Compilation%20-%205060%20kHz%20%282020-09-05%29.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

This is brilliant, Richard! Thank you so much for sharing your notes and recording.<\/p>\n

I haven’t done nearly enough pirate radio listening this summer. Your timely report reminds me it’s time to change that! Arrrrr!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
