XLR8? 6950 USB 2226 UTC 17 Nov 2019
« Reply #1 on: November 17, 2019, 2228 UTC »
2226 UTC I'm hearing some weak music fading up to threshold with lots of peskie QRM
2235 UTC Still hearing weak music....if only the peskies would stop yapping  >:(
2241 UTC "Moving In Stereo"-The Cars  :)
2245 UTC "Bye Bye Love"-The Cars ( peskies have vacated the channel  :) )
Seems to be an XLR8 ID after the end of Bye Bye Love! It took some fancy fiddling with Audacity, but here's my recording....

These last 2 songs seem clear, but shazam won't hit on them....
2308 UTC Signal has dropped down into the noise, but sounds like a Doors tune, but not sure
2313 UTC Signal is deep in the noise now  :(
2315 UTC I can make out "Whip It"-Devo  :)

Thanks for the show whoever! Tentative ID as XLR8  8)
Here's the link to my recording: Not the best, but gets fairly good in the middle part after the peskies qrt'd!
