Default Fort Indiantown Gap (?) Pirate Radio Station

Our local amateur radio club has a facility located on the Lancaster/Lebanon County border in Pennsylvania in PA State Gameland 156. Tonight we were up there just tuning around and came upon 36.900 mhz, with a odd PL Tone of 150.0 which I believe is a standard non standard tone in the military arena, with someone playing music from a Ipod or other player.

It sounded like they were playing it on a field pack transceiver and they had the input of the ipod going into the transceiver itself. They also were cursing a lot and it sounded almost like they were drunk. I say they because there was more than one person

I'm just wondering if anyone else has listened to that as well. I know it was on that frequency as we had several different radios available to make sure it was not intermod, and being a radio geek knew it was a frequency that has been used before by Fort Indiantown Gap.

Unfortunately we did not have a device available to record the audio, and I wish we did as they would also say that certain songs were dedicated to certain ranks (i.e. PFC, Sgt, Warrant Officer, etc).... Really weird transmission but it did make our night entertaining.

I belive the same thing. Sounds like someone was passing along some music. A pirate radio station at Indiantown would not last long. 36 mhz is in the military land mobile range. Someone was bored, not talking on green status = ( encrypted ) ; foxtrot mike.

Guard duty , routine perimeter patrol, NCS to NCS ( net control station ), testing radio modulation ( how ever ignorant ) , or an inside joke from a previous conversation / event. Military folks will be military folks.
