<< < (2/4) > >>

The Late Movie:
Getting him on 6935 AM since about 0215, moderate to heavy fades and lots o static.  Just heard O'Lamour by Erasure (one of my all time faves!!) then ID Radio True North.

Wow, am I surprised just how much better the intelligibility is on the ancient Hammarlund boat anchor vs. the Icom R75....static overpowers it on the Icom.

Now Moody Blues, The Voice....(let me check to make sure my record collection hasn't been stolen) ;)

Quick ID and off @ 233.

Found him again on 6955 with Beatles "Come Together" @ 0238 (yeah, for sure I better check my albums now).  Bit less static on this frequency.

0242 Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.  Check.

Lovely show, thanks RTN.

0322 still hanging in there, barely, as the band descends into the quagmire.

0332 OK scratch that.  Forgot these old boat anchors drift and need touching up every now and then.  Still coming through about the same as before.

0334 Little chat, RTN ID and "Gonna Wash That Man Right Outta My Hair" + more South Pacific

0344 Boys of Summer

0349 Riders On the Storm

0356 SOS by The Police

0405 Self Control by Laura Branigan (another favorite)!  Seems the overall signal getting weaker, though w/ fewer and less deep fades.  Getting hard to make out announcer.

DimBulb:
Conditions early on kept me from getting much from Radio True North on 6940 here in NH.  The move to 6935 put him under a huge UTE.

0232z Moved to 6955.5 and sounds great now, S8 - Sunshine Reggae
0238z ID into Beatles - Come Together
0242z Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride

jFarley:
Yes, 6955 is the best so far.  S7 in high noise now

0240 "Come Together", "Magic Carpet Ride", "Cheap Sunglasses", "Who Can It Be Now" (at S9+5)
0255 IDs, T/C

"Last night I held Aladdin's Lamp..."

olddxer:
S9+ here @0251

Playing a ZZ Top tune
