Thunder Chicken Radio 6930 USB 2140 UTC 15 AUG 2022
« on: August 15, 2022, 2140 UTC »
Going by Skippy's SSTV and matching it to an earlier log, looks like Thunder Chicken Radio

2140 Faint rock music, maybe Talking Heads?
2142 More Unid rock
2145 "Take Me To The River" Talking Heads, recognize guitar solo at a peak but that's about it
2148  Music right at noise floor now, can hear strains of guitar playing
2150 What faint music I hear sounds like more Talking Heads

The station is getting stronger. I can hear rock music clearly now, but just not very loud. Good to hear an early pirate. Thanks for the show.

The signal has really improved over the last half hour.
