Radio True North 6925 AM
« on: April 12, 2012, 0334 UTC »
4/12/12, 6924.8 AM, 0250z: Golden Earring "Radar Love", Queen "Another One Bites the Dust", Doobie Brothers "Long Train Running".  ID's barely audible, can only tell that it sounds like gmail addy.
0309z: Stones "Miss You"
0317z: Partial ID, "radio" and "dot com" audible, along with what sounded like cuckoo sounds?  Robert Palmfur "Bad Case of Loving Me"
0322z: D'amn Jello "Cruisin'"
0325z: Heard clear Radio True North ID, shout out to me (thanks!), "first video they played on MTV" and Buggles "Video Killed the Radio Star" (I should have a 5 minute mp3 of this later, if I can find where the new pooter stashes recordings)
5 minute mp3: http://www.mediafire.com/?at55i7pis9m8c2i

0345z: RTN ID, Hall & Oates "I Can't Go For That (No Can Poo)"
0350z: George Thorobad "Good to the Bone"
0400z: Hey, can hear my request to RTN, H&O "Dance On Your Knees" and "Out of Touch" - fighting heavy static crashes, but punching through pretty well
0402z: RTN live on mic, sounds like sign off ID - thanks for the show and request!
7 minute mp3 from H&O through end of show: http://www.mediafire.com/?o3oyykg4d11s61v

Jussst barely audible enough to copy familiar songs.  No clear copy of IDs until after 0315z.  Huge static crashes, some pesque jibber jabber adjacent.  Conditions improved slightly by 0315z, still some deep fades (using East Coast SDR tonight)

Note: Best copy was via online SDR located on East Coast.  Using ECSS-DSB and AM sync tuning options really helped dig out signal between fierce static crashes and adjacent QRM from pesque jibber jabber and CW ute.
