radio casablanca, 6940, around 0100z to 0230z 4 Sep 2013
« on: September 03, 2013, 2301 UTC »
Just got the good news from Rick Blaine.  Eff those Nazis.

Dear friend,

 

After many, many months of confinement in a Nazi labor camp, manufacturing faulty artillery shells, I recently managed to escape and make my way back to Morocco with the aid of members of the resistance.

 

Radio Casablanca expects to return to the airwaves this evening, starting sometime between 0000-0100 UTC.  The frequency will hopefully be 6940 kHz AM, if there is no evidence of the Nazi jammers recently noted on the frequency.  Otherwise, check around 6923 or 6978ish kHz AM as available.  I hope you are able to join us if we make it on the air.

 

For those who may have long been waiting for QSL confirmations from previous broadcasts, these will finally be issued shortly.  I sincerely apologize for the long delay.  War is hell, and prison is no picnic either.

Very good signal here, 'In the Mood' by the Andrews Sisters followed by ID @ 0114z.
Still a very good signal @ 0155z with 'Night and Day' by Ella Fitzgerald.  Occasional quick fades.
0211 - fades becoming more frequent, but still an easy listen.
Thanks for the great show!  Makes me want to fire up the old radios.
