Undercover Radio Relay by Skippy Radio 6950 USB from AM 2312 17 Jan 2019
« on: February 17, 2019, 2313 UTC »
Mellow rock vocal, talk and an ID but it was over driven so I didn't understand it.  Another similar mellow rock song, ID into Dr. Benway telling a story.

S4 and clear.  OTHR "machine gun" QRM at 2323.

If this is the same station in USB as of 2351, I'm getting a very good signal in Denver whereas I had nothing when it was in AM. At 2353 a skull and crossbones waterfall image was sent in Easypal. Undercover radio ID at 2353.
New song at 2354, another skull and crossbones easypal transmission at 2355.
2357 [email protected] addy given
2358 "Boat Drinks" Jimmy Buffett
0002 Skippy Radio images being sent via Easypal waterfall images.
0004 fading...
0006 came back, sounds like William S. Burroughs
0008 more Skippy Easypal images
0009 radio drama?
0028 SSTV that cut off before it was fully sent.
0029 SSTV


0032 SSTV

I couldn't hear this in AM mode earlier, but I tuned in at 0000 UTC to find it in USB mode just as the OM announcer gave an "Undercover Radio" ID, an email address and mentioned a special QSL before going into Jimmy Buffett's "I Don't Know (the Volcano Song)" at 0002 UTC.

0005 UTC: The OM gave a time check, now chatting again.
0013 UTC: After a couple of spoken word and spacey pieces, the OM announcer chatted again before going into a new song.
0020 UTC: I mean, I don't know what this is, but I don't hate it. Lots of spoken word, spacey pieces, with the signal battling some OTHR noise here.
0022 UTC: OM gave an email address again, I think. Then chatted some more into a song at 0024 UTC.
0029 UTC: SSTV transmissions (two in all), and signoff at 0031 UTC.
0032 UTC: One more SSTV.

Being pretty new here, I just read the history of Undercover Radio and Dr. Benway. Pretty good stuff. Thanks for the program!
