Turtlehead Radio 6925
« on: May 20, 2012, 0829 UTC »
5/20/12, 6925 USB, 0820z: Turtlehead Radio ID, music - something kinda mellow with piano.  Not sure if been on awhile and just now peaked, or just started.
0834z: "I'm An A$$hole" (Denis Leary?), Edwyn Collins "A Girl Like You" (and some voiceover by op, couldn't quite copy through noise)
0839z: Colonel Turtlehead asking for requests.  Heard another voice in there but local noise too high.
0843z: Foo Fighters "Everlong" (what the heck is he whispering in the middle of that song?)
0846z: Mention of guest host, but obscured by fades and noise.
0847z: Mazzy Star "Fade Into You".  Luv dat Mope Sandoval.
0853z: Something about a do not disturb sign.

SINPO=33422, rough conditions, heavy fog of white noise RFI and fading, making it tough to ID unfamiliar music.

Time: 5/20/2012 0828UTC - 0952UTC
Frequency: 6925KHz
Mode: Upper Sideband
SINPO: Starting 34223 trending to 24222

Content in chronological order:

Track with a strong lead guitar
Alternative rock track
Slower track than before
Another track, but now fading into the noise floor
LL Cool J track
The Humpty Dance by Digital Underground

Personal notes:

For me, there is relatively high noise floor tonight with plenty of static crashes, thus the lack of much song identification. I rerouted audio to Spectrum Lab for DSP processing some time around the LL Cool J track, after which I was able to clearly identify the Digital Underground track.

Good show! Hopefully my local noise floor will not be as rough next time around.
