BOR 6925U April 3/2013 0224z
« on: April 03, 2013, 0226 UTC »
Just caught the tail end of what I believe was a Pirates For Peace show, and now at 0224z, hearing what sounds like Blue Ocean Radio with Also Spake Zarathustra sign-on, into a young lady singing with guitar accompaniment.

0228z - BOR ID, loud and clear!

Heard the same here in MO. Pretty weak signal on a noisy band. I'm tuning in on a Perseus a little closer to the source. I totally dig BOR's taste in music. S5-6 here in Missouri, S9 +10 on Colorado & Washington State perseus servers

SDR Catch. heard the DXing with Cumbre segment, then the BOR sign on music at 0224z.
Very weak signal tonight, not much above the noise.
Sign off at 0312z with theme music.

Thanks for the show!
