You actually showed up in
Arbitron?
RE 1710:
I tuned up there around twilight local time and
checked thru out the evening. At last check about 2100 local, there were THREE
carriers in there. One of them sounded to be off 200 Hz or
so.
Lubavitcher seems to have a good-quality transmitter. Stable
frequency staying 3 - 5 Hz away from the other pirate. Modulation quite clear at
times. Enough for an ID.
Modulation didn't sound bad. However, it sounded as
though some of the programming was being taken off shortwave. Fading and phase
shifting not correlating with fading of Lubavitcher carrier.
I guess the
next question is "Where is the FCC?" It does seem that some pirates have become
either too dangerous politically for the FCC to close down, or of such little
problem engineering-wise that the FCC just lets well enough alone is it chases
bigger fish.
When I got shut down back in Indianapolis, FCC Chicago sent
a field officer (GS=11, same grade I retired from VOA!) to do a sweep thru
Indianapolis). WISK-1110
could be heard well enough that the licensed
stations (WISH-1310 especially) took exception to us. We actually made book
once.
If I didn't believe in being legal in all things and didn't have
so many other risk factors being a retired federal employee, I'd probably get a
pirate station of some 50 W on the
air in a flash. Jimmy-in-Jericho I'd have
so much fun! Being 58 years old wouldn't make a bit of difference. I could put
on a program that folks would listen to for certain.
Sigh!
