XLR8 6955 USB at 0052 UTC, 5/20/15
« on: May 20, 2015, 0056 UTC »
Catching some music being played just above the noise floor. Heard some talk but couldn't make out at 0046. Signal is a S6 at best. Anyone else hearing it?
Hearing "Darts Of Pleasure" at 0103 by Franz Ferdinand.
"Mysterons" by Portishead at 0107.
"Teardrop" by Massive Attack at 0110.
Could be right Rafman, sounds like his type of music. ;D XLR8 ID at 0114/15
Signal is up to a S9 now at 0130 and off at 0134.

Yes, was hearing music 0055-0103z w/some talk that almost sounded Portuese...

Very weak, jumped up stronger @0104z w/ "Darts of Pleasure" Franz Ferdinand

I'm going to take a guess the station now is XLR8, just a hunch  ???

0114z ID XLR8 [whispered]
0115z ID [stuttering]
0117z "Black is Black" instrumental

My hunch was correct...  :o

6955 USB / MAY 20 / 0105-0134*.
Couple of songs by a female singer with whispered ID during one of the songs.
Abrupt loss of signal ~0116 for a few moments but afterward signal came back much stronger and audio sounded much better.
S/off @ 0134.
