WEAK 6925 AM 0250 UTC 04 Aug 2018
« on: August 04, 2018, 0257 UTC »
already in progress when I tuned in @ 0250 with what sounds like some comedy/parody programming (some non english).
S5 and fair copy with the static crashes.  Program sounds familiar.
0300 - nice clear ID
0301 - "Do You Do You Dig Destruction" Turbonegro, S7 peaks and lots of static crashes.
0304 - ID, then unshazamable song
0306 - ID
0307 - ID, then "You're Gonna Miss Me" 13th Floor Elevators, S6
0309 - nice canned ID, then "Ride Captain Ride" Blues Image
0314 - ID, then punk tune
0316 - "Come On In" Mike West, back down to S5 and fair copy
0317 - ID

Thanks for the show!

SDR recording catch, 0250 sign on, generally an SIO 322, I listened to the recording while cooking and eating breakfast. Nice to hear WEAK again.

SDR recording catch. Carrier present at 250 but no audio until 0300. SIO 111 with a few 222 peaks, but also long stretches of uncopyable audio below the noise floor. These can be noted by the lack of detail offered at those points in my report.
0301 "Do You Do You Dig Destruction" Turbonegro
0304 WEAK ID
0305 signal faded a bit, couldn't shazam or soundhound track
0306 possible ID, new song. Signal below the noise.
0315 finally getting a bit of audio above the noise, but it didn't last long.
0319 WEAK ID heard at noise floor.
0320 "Little Girl" Syndicate of Sound
       Between this and some of the other songs reported by other listeners, it looks like the set consisted largely of tunes from the legendary Nuggets compilation album. Sorry my signal wasn't better.
0323 new song
      No usable audio until...
0335 song at the noise floor, enough to hear bits and pieces. "Twilight Zone" Golden Earring
0337 OFF

Thanks for the show!

Any station that plays the Elevators is all right with me. I used to play them a lot, despite having to remaster those old bootlegs to get the music out of the mud. I'm sorry I missed it.

I'd like to make a request for "Fire Engine" the next time your on. Roky's Texas twang really stands out when he starts singing about his "Fahr Enjin" and the jug work is outstanding.
