6925 USB
0342z: Project 86 - Evil
0345z: Captain Ron ID
0351z: annnd completely faded out.  Miserable propagation lately.

That's my first live on-air ID'd catch for Captain Ron.  Good to hear you!

45 second mp3 from 0345z: http://www.mediafire.com/?ui9pktxo7yp236n
I just missed the ID on the recording, but caught part of Captain Ron's chat and beginning of next song.

6925.1 USB approx
Since 0308z, hearing long bassy instrumental, as of 0330z some Johnny Cash including "Get Rhythm".  Good clear peaks, lots of fades to barely audible.
0338z: Off or dead air.

Must've been what I heard just after 0200z here on 6925.1 or so USB. Couldn't copy much, lots of fades and crunchy summer static. Part of it sounded like QSO or phone conversation?

Captian Ron 0214z S7-S9 signal with good audio, on the mic live at 0216z, Looks like AL got his wish

0216z Good copy here into Texas, Ron.

Listening on tuned 2' loop and WR-G303e.

Captain Ron Shortwave, 7/31/10, 6925usb, 2:06+ UTC, SIO 323, ID and back into music. Hard copy in noise...but I can hear you.
Holy F00k Captain Ron is back!!!! And I for one am in desperate need of some Radio Therapy. Welcome back CR.

IDed as The Voice of Captain Ron Shortwave broadcasting live.

I'm getting a fookin head ache trying to tune this guy , best tune is 6930.5 usb?

There at the last, best copy was around 6930.4x ... AMS (AM/Synch) on this rig will 'pull' to the carrier some small amount, so that's what I used ...

It's kind of hard to tell as I'm not getting the other station very clearly, but it seems that I am getting spread from that signal all the way down at 6925.  Ouch.

EDIT to add:  KAOS went off the air, but I now have another signal on 6925, which is also losing to the extra-wide signal further up the band.  I tried tuning said wide signal, but could not get it well enough to do the job.  I think only part of it is the signal strength and propagation; I just can't tune it very well, possibly due to the nature of the signal and its spread on the band.

Voice of KAOS 6925
Mentioned Arlington Cemetary, played "I Love Rock and Roll", but hard to make out, as there is another station also on frequency at slightly lower strength obscuring most of it.
Signal sounds good, and I would probably be able to receive either of them individually, but with both on top of each other it's kind of a mess.

Location: upstate South Carolina
Radio: IC-718
Antenna: 400-foot wire @40 ft

"Another station .."

I think that other station looks to be up at 6928.4x, kinda wide as it appears here ...
