short anmnt by M w/info for reports to LHH. Nice ID jingle between songs

“It’s a Livin’ Thing” by ELO at 0818, “Promises Promises” by Naked Eyes at

PIRATE (EURPOE) R. Focus Int. 0717 M anncr and into “Owner of
a Lonely Heart” by Yes. 0746 end of “Love is the Drug” by Roxy
Music. 0759 sounded like a quick ment of Focus starting an anmnt.
0801 “In the Light” by Led Zeppelin. Pretty nice peak at 0806 and 0808, and DJ
anmnt at 0809 w/ment of Terry Philips coming up and asked listeners if they
came across Gary Stevens. 0810 “Barracuda” by Heart. Still audible
at 0901 but gradually fading. Very fady. A video of the reception

PIRATE (EUROPE) R. Black Arrow Signal on at 0813:55,
and immediately into more current Pop mx. 0816:10 tuned the freq down 2
khz, up 2 khz, and settled on 6260.05!! Dance mx up a little at
0823. M anncr at 0825:30 but too weak to copy. When he moved to
6260.05, there looked to be like an extremely weak signal already there.
R. Waves Int.?? Went off sometime between 0832 and 0834 while I was
checking calibration. Tnx Irish Pauls blog. A video of my reception

another Dutch song. 0823:55 and 0824:20 M anncr voice-over. 0826
novelty instru., I think “My Bonnie”. 0827 into “The Old Man Down the

Dutch song. 0836:20 M anncr. 0838:05 some kind of jingle w/M
voice in a bottle. Really nice peak at 0839 and 0840:05. 0841

addr and into “Candle in the Wind” by Elton John. Fading out completely
just 5 min. later. Some SSB QRM. Video of the reception can be

15070.07
PIRATE (EUROPE) Cupid R. Tnx John Cooper tip, found w/Dance
and Pop mx at 1604. 1613 anmnt w/IDs and peaking during listener
acknowledgments. More anmnts at 1622. Canned e-mail anmnt at 1628.
Live anmnts again at 1639. Poor but had a couple decent peaks. (6
Nov.)
15059.87
PIRATE (EUROPE) Enterprise R. Very shortly after getting in
the Pirate Chat, Capt. Denny asked if I could tune in and did. Extremely
weak signal and didn’t seem to hold much promise. But then it came up at
1616 with a little mx, and dropped back down. Back at 1624 w/a bit more
audio, but then the best peak at 1626:00 w/guitar solo who Capt. D. said was
Queen. Couldn’t recog. it though as it was a song from one of the latter
LPs. Dropped out completely again. Even though it was right at
threshold at 1633, it never did come back up. A Youtube video of this
reception can be viewed at https://youtu.be/e7zub-QKvVM
