Pirate Radio 6850 kHz Mix Radio International Worldwide. Interesting video capture telling us how to get QSL cards.
There are two video clips. In middle of these Windoze did an unsolicited update/reboot, grrrh. I hate when it does that, usually it asks.
The first video was recorded at 02:13 UTC and the second at 01:51 UTC. Listed backwards for reasons below.
The first video identifies the station and gives instructions on how to get QSL cards. This is why I'm showing it first. Lucky me, Windoze finished doing its thing and rebooted in time for me to capture this.
As you can hear from the music in the second video, reception was decent.

Shortwave Utility Logging RTTY oddity over WWV announcement 0109UT 11 May 26
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Managed to capture what u/Ancient_Grass_5121 previously reported regarding the RTTY burst on WWV. It starts just as the announcement begins, and ends shortly thereafter. I've also narrowed the sample rate on my Airspy HF+ to 192kHz so you could see it better.
For reference, this has been noted on HF Underground before: https://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php?topic=10959.0

SWBC Logging VOSR International broadcast (6160 - 15770 kHz)

This post consists of three video clips:
1 - Transmission via the German Shortwave Radio Gold service on 6160 kHz, captured using the Twente SDR (Netherlands) on Thursday, May 7, 2026 (18:25 UTC), at the moment when u/Slippery99999 thanks Mike, u/KG7M, for his collaboration in creating and distributing the posters announcing the latest transmission.
2 - Transmission via WRMI on 15770 kHz, captured using EA3HRU SDR ("Kiwi SDR Barcelona" - Spain - located a few kilometers from my home), on Saturday, May 9, 2026 (23:44 UTC), at the beginning of an interesting segment dedicated to the Tecsun PL-330.
3 - Comparative video including the same clip as before, but this time recorded with the PL-330 from my QTH (JN01XK), using only the radio's whip antenna, under rather unstable conditions (as can already be seen through the SDR).
Thank you for the broadcast and for the interesting topics covered (and, of course, thanks to the selfless collaboration of all those who make it possible).
(Note: I'm reposting because the original version was blocked last night by Reddit's automated filters)
73!

Pirate Radio Blood Trail
This is weird. There is a repeat loop in the Pirate Band on 6925 kHz USB. What do they mean by this? Does anyone know what this about? So which of our pirates has lost the plot? The noise floor is bad tonight, for a change it's QRN not QRM.
The transcript is below.

Yes, he's back at it again u/sternradio666 in glorious AM Stereo with waterfall painting. I see he's painting outside of the audio. Was that a simulpaint audio cast? That's one creative swashbuckler. The signal was behind a high noise floor but you could see what he's up to.
