Fair S3 to S5 signal via the Cape May County, New Jersey, SDR with decent audio on a day that's been pretty noisy on the band so far ...

2001 UTC: "Art Bell" talking about the start of fall and how it's improving DXing.
2003 UTC: Art now ranting about social media and radio-related accounts on those platforms.
2005 UTC: "Keep 43 meters weird," Art says into a music break that includes "Hazy Shade of Winter cover by The Bangles.
2008 UTC: Art back and ranting about 11-meter-band hams "screaming at each other" about politics.
2011 UTC: He's now talking about the "RBL," the "roast beef layer" of the ionosphere.
2013 UTC: Art now ranting about CBers.
2014 UTC: "Nothing But a Heartache" by The Flirtations.
2017 UTC: Art moves on to complaining about the "phantom carrier" on 6938 kHz (I'm actually with him on this one!).
2022 UTC: A vintage torch song; Shazam can't seem to ID this one.
2024 UTC: Art now ranting about the pain of finding good recipes online. He name-checked the HFU board early in this rant.

Thanks for the broadcast. This station might be my favorite use of AI!

Broadcaster: Art Bell Rants Radio
Listening date: 1 October 2025
Listening time: 20:00 to 20:36 UTC time
Frequency: 6945 USB
SINPO: 55544
Listening Location: Valladolid (Spain) via kiwiSDR Cape May County, NJ (USA)
Antenna used: Aziloop antenna Orthogonal loop
Details of the programme listened to:
2000 Man: I'm not going to lie, that's not enough to give you hope about what it really looks like. The main theory about that is the UAP file, if you pay attention...
2006 "Hazy Shade of Winter - The Bangles
2009 Comment: A good 11-metre opening, a signal from Florida coming in loud and clear. And what do I hear? Two blokes...
2015 "Nothing But a Heartache - The Flirtations
2018 A sign or symbol, so to speak, of the durability and insightfulness of messages. It is ironic for a carrier that comes and goes at random. There is even a rock called 6938 Soniapers in the asteroid belt.
2029 "Sky High - Jigsaw
2035 "Inca Dance - Cusco
2036 OTA


I would be grateful to receive your eQSL at: laradioymuchomas@gmail.com
