WLDJ testing.

7/7/10
6925 USB
0300z: Crystal from WLDJ taking requests, mentioned IRC #pirateradio
0312z: Elton John, Queen "Killer Queen"
0317z: Queen "Radio Ga-Ga", sounds like different signal and audio now.
0320z: LOL!  I requested the most obscure song I could think of, Dory Previn's "Beware of Young Girls", and darned if someone isn't playing it.  But hearing some overlapping audio too.

Thanks, WLDJ and Crystal, made my day with that one.

SINPO=32332, good signal peaks, S7 or so, fighting heavy local RFI.

0335z: Beatles "Eight Days a Week", Peter Gabriel "Sledgehammer"
SINPO=232322, signal much weaker now.
0354z: Popped up outta mud after long fade out, Crystal with WLDJ ID and e-mail address

Unedited 7 minute mp3, pretty rough copy but Dory Previn segment starts around 4:45 mark: http://www.mediafire.com/?mmmeznvymj2

Whoa!

0347z Frequency drifted swiftly down to 6924.75 ... now back to 6924.92 kHz

In case anyone was wondering what the change in tonal quality was due to  ...

A very cool request show!

Played Killer Queen for Radio Ga-Ga, Dory Previn for Lex, Eight Days A Week for DimBulb, and Eugene for me!

About S7 signal with some fade, but not bad.

Thanks WLDJ!
