Caught Radio Wolverine on 6950 Saturday night 2200 CDT playing music on
(presumably) his ham transceiver. Am I the only one who thinks music on
single sideband sucks?

I miss the days of real pirate stations. These guys using ham rigs aren't
that interesting.

I listened to a pirate tonight on 6925u for awhile, good strong signal
here in California, with lots of old jazzy blues from maybe the
1930s. East to recognize songs, would have been an easy QSL if....

But I agree, music on SSB is a pretty bum, but in this case it was
even worse - the station ID at 0230 was virtually impossible to copy
because it was done with strong reverb and sound effects, and then
they went to what sounded like ugly facsimile machine noises as an
"interval signal" and went OTA without another ID or mail address.
Stupid.

Probably Wolverine Radio. Also heard WBNY on that frequency earlier.
