« on: March 16, 2014, 0303 UTC »
0300 ID and t/c by redhat after the RRS relay; will be doing a short show of documentaries.  The first about things hidden in plain sight - a pirate radio op in the UK

0318 redhat airing an interview he had with Tim Hunkin (I believe - it was a little noisy here) from the Discovery Channel show "The Secret Life of Machines", recorded in 2009.

0329 "The news in 6 minutes in rap"

0336 Documentary about Depeche Mode

0408 Wrap up, shouts, greets to Winterfest attendees
0411 T/c, final track
0416 off

S7-S9ish in the nasty noise tonight.
Thanks for the show redhat; very interesting!

0300z X-FM S9 in New Hampshire with plenty of static crashes.

This is my first time using C-QUAM - seems to be working but a no-music show... oh well, maybe next time

0305z Definite stereo effect, even with the documentaries.  Sounds great.

0318z Tim Hunkin (The Secret Life of Machines) interview by RedHat

0329z Bedtime, Good Night RedHat... Thanks for the show

Tough copy tonight, can just catch it through the static. Heard bits of a Depeche Mode interview and "Blue Dress" (wow, it's been a while), later heard ID and email address. Busy night tonight!
