Radio Ronin Relay 6935 AM 0357 UTC 3 May 2013
« on: May 03, 2013, 1244 UTC »
Carrier sign on at 0357z, about S7.
Weak music heard starting at around 0408z.
Possible Radio Ronin ID at 0457z, but very poor reception.
The carrier went off at 0458z

As per #pirateradio IRC chat, this was a Radio Ronin relay, so I am logging it as such.

Interesting.  After Liquid Radio went off I was watching a very weak AM carrier on 6935 around 0240.  Never got any audio.  Possibly the same a bit earlier?

Spotted Radio Ronin ID on 6935MHz last nite thought it was Radio True North at first due to good S7 signal, playing blues music but can’t remember the name of the group featured from 1969, sorry no notes taken, reporting all this from memory.

Update:
The memory banks are still working, it was early Pink Floyd playing blues from 1969.

Most times & frequencies posted are only an approximation.
Wishing the 1980's PopComm was still around.

jFarley prompted me to check the SDR recording more carefully. I see a carrier came up on 6934.93 at 0207z. it went off at 0259z.
Some weak audio near the end, but nothing I could pull out. Sounded like an OM talking just before sign off.
