Radio True North 6950AM
« on: May 14, 2012, 0323 UTC »
Just heard "Video Killed the Radio Star" then into ID and DJ patter by OM about summer conditions. Nice, strong S-7 signal on a noisy band. Typically outstanding audio. Always great to hear an old friend!
*** Update - Thanks for the shout out!

5/14/12, 6950 AM, 0500z: Listening via east coast SDR, Elton John "Bitch Is Back", Soft Cell "Tainted Love", Springsteen "Pink Cadillac", shout-out to WPOD and Goldfinger theme song, "Convoy", Jackson Browne "Lawyers In Love", Ramones "Rock and Roll High School", others.
0522z: "Radio True North, broadcasting in the free radio environment," Georgia Satellites "Keep Yer Mitts To Yerself", Robert Palmer "Bad Case of Loving You", RTN ID
0543z: Hall & Oates "Dance On Your Knees/Out of Touch" punching through.  Heavier QRM from Spanish language comms on USB side, nulled out somewhat by tuning to ECSS/LSB.  Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife"
0600z: Aldo Nova "Fantasy", Dream Academy "Life In A Northern Town", just barely audible now.  Fierce QRM from USB Spanish comms.  Interesting, ECSS and AM sync on the SDR seem to be thrown off fairly easily by strong sideband signals.  Only switching to non-ECSS LSB nulls 'em out.

Good signal and audio via east coast tuner, started out SINPO=34333, improved to 44333 by 0520z, minor QRM from pesque jibber jabber and ionosondes.  By 0600z faded to SINPO=22332, heavier QRM on USB side.  Nary a peep at home, wiped out by local RFI.
