Captain Morgan Shortwave 6925 AM 0338 UTC 7 FEB 2025
« on: February 08, 2025, 0339 UTC »
0338  Fly Away- Lenny Kravitz
0339-  ID which I couldn't copy because it mixed with the end of the tune...
during the beginning of the next tune, thought I heard a female saying "Captain Morgan",
but that doesn't seem right to me with this program...

0341  "Daft Punk is playing" ~ LCD Soundsystem
0344 "Are you gonna go my way" - Lenny Kravitz
0346  Recognizing a cover of "Brown-eyed Girl".... ok, Everclear, thank you shazam
0354- Another ID during a song which I could not copy, partly due to fading... sorry amigos.
Signal getting tougher with noise and fading out now. signal gone on SDR by 0358....
then some music came up strong for a moment at 0359-- can't tell if it was the same or a different station,
via the SDR graph, thought they definitely threw the switch off...  but that signal faded away quickly.

0417--  OK, DEFINITE Captain Morgan Shortwave female ID, repeated three times during the music so poor John Poet could be certain of his own ears...
and coming in with very strong audio now, compared with its S-5 signal, on the Chetek WI kiwi  http://22303.proxy.kiwisdr.com:8073/


Great reception at 0341 peaking nearly 20 over S-9 on Traverse City kiwiSDR
in the early part of this logging... fading down to nothing by 0357
http://kiwi.k8bmz.net:8073/

Captain Morgan, last time I emailed you at captainmorganshortwave@gmail.com,
I received a machine reply that said it was not deliverable---
but later received an email from you that seemed to reply to my original message...

I am confused, but sent you another email tonight anyway, and received the same initial gmail message.
0438   "Better Luck" by Floyd Lee, according to shazam....  nice peaks still!


off at 0448---  Thanks for the show tonight, oh captain, my captain!

(Captain Morgan was one of the first other pirate broadcasters I was able to hear in 2004,
when I returned to the scene after a 20-year absence-- and that was also 20 years ago, what??)

Also too much neighborhood noise. williamhassig@yahoo.com

All reception direct-- From my location, radio and antenna.
