My siriusXM frequency is set to 92.9 since it has always been a clear channel near Burlington, NJ. But, as of this morning that was not the case. There was some static on the channel, so after switching it lo and behold there was a pirate station in a language I didn't know. The last pirate I knew of around here was on 99.7 a year ago and it causes some minor interference with WJBR. Has anyone else in the Philly area tried this frequency?

Last time a pirate was on 92.9 was nearly two years ago, but it was around Allentown/Upper Freehold.

I heard it coming into work. The music was all over the place. There was some english sounding songs. I thought at first it was a dance pirate but then it went into something very weird.

As of right now, it's still audible on my Sony HD home radio, but the signal meter is only a 1 out of 3. It's broadcasting in mono as well according to another receiver. I assume mono would reduce static on the channel in bad reception conditions, but does anyone really know how far it gets out or where it might even be located?

it's not in NJ...it's broadcasting from somewhere in north philly or lower bucks, that's where it was coming in strongest for me anyway. it's easily getting out 15-20 miles...hopefully someone at the FCC notices.

No, it isn't an ipod because it comes in at home AND in a moving car...still on today but it does not pose any threat to reception of local FMs in this area.

It's obviously not someone's Part 15 since 3 different people here have heard it.
The dance pirate used to be heard for 10-15 miles around Trenton.
