9685 AUSTRALIA Reach Beyond Australia 1117-1128 Somewhat
slow and deliberate EG pgm abt Baseball rules and “Almost Perfect”
segment of Armando Galarraga’s near perfect game. 1129 instru. mx, and
into next pgm in Chin Hakha. No ID between pgms. Fair signal. (Valko,
9 June)
9799.61 EGYPT R. Cairo 2205 AR mx, 4+1 higher pitch time ticks
at 2215, then W w/EG nx ending w/ID at 2217. 2219 ID w/intro for
“Egyptian Challenge” pgm, then off the air. Back on w/OC a min. later,
and pgm already continuing. Good signal but audio over modulated.

9514.97 BRAZIL R. Marumby 2224-2300 “Voz do Brasil” // to other
ZYs including 9665.87 Voz Missionaria, 9674.92 Cancao Nova, 11856.02
Aparecida, and 15190.05 Inconfidencia. 2300 instru. mx, 2301 usual
“Marumby” singing jingle by women, then canned ID/promo w/ment of
Marumby, sev. more canned anmnts, and into next pgm at 2304. Fady

(Valko, 9 June)
6940U PIRATE (NA) Seven Trees Radio Hard Rock, almost Metal
mx then short final ID by M at 2300 as “Welcome to Seven Trees Radio,
where we pull the plug every day”, and off. Came back on w/ID at 2304
and into current mx, then went off. Came back on again at 2314 with the
same ID and played the song “Who Do You Love” by George Thorogood. Glad
he came back w/IDs so I could get a recording. Youtube video of the
reception can be found using this link: https://youtu.be/p4ZiFDbt1q4
(Valko, 10 June)
6930U PIRATE (NA) WEAK/Weak R. Noted after 0005 w/mostly Punk
mx, although they also played “Ride Captain Ride” by Blues Image, and
only novelty C&W song. Many IDs by W including “We are going crazy
crazy, we are going crazy, very crazy, Weak R., going crazy” at 0013.
Comedy ads. At 0015, someone came on overtop repeating “Welcome to
Strong R.” which sounded like the anncr from Seven Trees R. When the
bdcst ended at 0017, there were 3 SSTV images aired, but they didn’t
seem to be from WEAK. In fact the last was from Pee Wee. Youtube video
of the reception can be found using this link:

6205.01 PIRATE (EUROPE) Laser Hot Hits 0128 Rock song then M
w/Off Shore Echos ad, then back to mx. 0133 ID jingle, and another
song. Thought this might be someone else as they weren’t on nominal
6220. (Valko, 11 June)
6925.2v PIRATE (NA) Ion R. Weak signal at 1204, coming up at
1208, then some sort of rumbling effect at 1209 which turned out to be
“ambient music” according to the op. Finally recognized “Ebony Eyes” by
Bob Welch at 1224, Simple ID by W at 1225, then “Love is in the Air” by
John Paul Young. Best at 1228. SSTV and off at 1240. Seemed to be
having xmtr trouble. No carrier present most of the time and drifting
around. (Valko, 11 June)
7850 CANADA CHU 1230 nothing but an OC here. Strong
signal. Same on 3330 but a much weaker signal. Must be having some
technical difficulties. 14670 too weak to tell if there was only an OC
there, and the web rxs didn’t have it any better. (Valko, 11 June)
11885 ALASKA (USA) KNLS 1457 M anncr sounded like Mandarin
ending w/instru. signature, then 1458-1500 deadair, and 1500 IS twice
and off. Came back on w/IS in progress and into Mandarin pgming.
(Valko, 11 June)
14670 CANADA CHU Indeed, only an OC here at 1900 when the
signal was much improved. Shortly thereafter, Ron Howard forwarded a
quote that they had a suspect piece of equipment and they would be
looking into the problem. By 2045, everything as back to normal on all
freqs. Reception video of the OCs on all freqs can be found using this
link: https://youtu.be/Ox78B0nWFbI (Valko, 11 June)
6924.2 PIRATE (NA) Insane R. From 2343- Soundbites mixed
w/mx. Radio story abt a “regular guy” who became a time anncr in
WashingtonDC. Unrecognizable Rock songs. 0002 M whistling and saying
he liked to whistle. 0005 repeating “Insane R.” IDs. Another song.
0011 repeating IDs again, and Bluesy song. Went off at 0019. Massive
S9+25 signal. (Valko, 11-12 June)
