Radio True North 6925 AM
« on: June 23, 2011, 0635 UTC »
6/23/11
6925 AM
0603-0633z: Via Colorado global tuners remote, heard Talking Heads "Road to Nowhere", Huey Lewis and the News "Heart of Rock 'n' Roll", Shirley Bassey singing theme from Goldfinger.  A couple of clear ID's for Radio True North and shout-out to night-owls on IRC #pirateradio.
SINPO=34243, well enough above usual summer static crashes to copy familiar songs and most of announcer chatter.  Steady but weak het or carrier in background from another station.
Just a carrier here at home, including outdoors with portable, but no audio.

0726z: RTN talking about spinning vinyl, Hall & Oates "Method of Modern Love".  Still hanging in there via Colorado remote but much weaker.  Still just barely a carrier here at home, and no luck via global tuner remotes east of Texas.

Nice strong S-5 signal. Still the best audio of any pirate, sounds pro. Hearing Don Henley "Boys of Summer".
Heard later with Bob Seger "Against the Wind" and solid S-9 signal. Talk of shutting down at the bottom of the hour, in 15 minutes.
Why is it Canadian pirates sound so darn good?

If Rosie O'Donnell jumps in the water Rosie doesn't get wet, the water gets ugly.

'Cause we're powered by double-double and Timbits, eh? ;D
