Captain Ron? 6930USB
« on: October 08, 2011, 0211 UTC »
I didn't wait for an ID but it sounds like the good Captain. On a research vessel tonight, all alone. Looking at the Southern Cross. Into an AC/DC tune. Strong S-5 signal, great audio for SSB.

10/8/11, 6930 USB
0214z: Heard partial ID, does sound like Captain Ron or Red Mercury but have heard only partial ID so far.  Mentioned "mercury... but not Red Mercury", talking about free speech, something about southern cross.  Very heavy regional t-storm crashes tonight.
0218z: AC/DC
SINPO=33232, fair peaks but heavy QRN and local RFI making it tough to copy IDs clearly.
