Short segment of a Dual-receiver recording of some shortwave pirates battling it out on the air.
Pirate that had been playing copyrighted music for several minutes continues with ID in a synthesized voice, which happens to be Alex from Apple, voice of the Mac, saying something like: "This is PeeWee Radio, Radio Free Whatever, combined into One Clever Name Radio, name." Another pirate that had been playing a female synthesized heckling ID "This is Unclever Name Radio" over the music so I can't include it on freesound, then comes back in the clear with a few choice comments about the broadcasting habbits of the first pirate.
Receivers used were the WEB SDR in Milford Pennsylvania on the left
http://K3FEF.com:8901/
and the WebSDR at the University of Twente, Enschede, the Netherlands on the right:
http://websdr.ewi.utwente.nl:8901/
The heckler is heard best on the left, while 1 Clever Name Radio is heard about the same on both with some back and forth.
