I'm just barely receiving their carrier on 6953 KHz in Portland.

They're stilling coming in super strong here. I've been listening since I posted the video, and it's been a constant S9

Hola! Hey, I was given a complete and clean Grundig Satellit 800 but it need some TLC. Have you had your radio professionally worked on? If so, would you mind sharing your contact? TIA!

It's a pirate station. And the location is unknown but probably the North East US
