"The Crystal Ship" shortwave radio pirate 6700 AM, May 28-29, 2008, 0350-0540 UTC). Thirteen minute audio file with music and station IDs. Recorded in N. Central Texas using a Sony ICF-2010 portable radio in AM sync detection mode, 20' outdoor random wire antenna, more than 1,000 miles away from transmission site. Radio Shack DSP-40 audio filter used. Good signal, some fading and static crashes from approaching thunderstorms. Glitches in audio file not due to broadcaster error (I was fiddling with audio recording settings). Audio file recording after peak of broadcast - earlier show was much clearer:
Start - Sammy Hagar?
1:00 - Same song, boosted recording gain a bit
2:35-2:48 - RFI (cover your ears, kids, it burns)
2:50 - .38 Special "Rockin' Into the Night"
4:10 - TCS female ID
5:00 - Quint, then Selena song
7:00 - (Fiddling with filters on DSP-40)
8:00 - Royal Guardsmen "Snoopy vs. The Red Baron"
9:00 - Quint again, audio clips
9:50 - Ramones "We Want the Airwaves" (fiddling with DSP-40 again)
12:35 - Off air. Dead air last 25 seconds.
