Nice signal in Wyomissing.  30 dB over the noise.  "That's all folks!" hit the mark.

Just a quick note, Bulger is on USB, and music is on LSB and both are running a tick noise (I think, unless the tick is bleeding over)

Well, at 1010 local time on 7850 kHz they pulled the plug on CHU. One minute it was there, then off. Gone. Nada. Bupkiss.

I kept the IQ recorder going, I figured them lawless, disrespectful Commie Pinko Pirates would ne doing something and, by Holy Ronald Reagan, there they were!

All kinds of stuff including Dick Bulger dot com on USB and a whole bunch of other stuff on both sidebands. (I was always a Buzzy's man myself - nothing like one of those unsanitary bowel bursters after a wild evening at the Channel or the Rat!)

Good signal though up here in Maine on the RSP1B. Still going thirty minutes later.

Wonder if this boy QSLs? ([email protected])

After CHU sign off (monitoring from different Ohio SDR), copied looney tunes “that’s all folks”. Switched to K1RA SDR,VA and got some good Dick Bulger sound samples including the Taco Bell “bell” for the time tone!
