UNID 6925khz USB 0215z
« on: June 20, 2012, 0230 UTC »
Station playing songs by Jerry Garcia.  Was S4 with static crashes around S7, decent audio.  Obliterated by SSTV and 'Summer' Program that came on with S9+ signal

Still going at 0234z after the other station went off.  S5 signal,  Playing 'How Sweet it is (Live)' by Jerry Garcia/Merl Saunders/John Kahn/Bill Vitt

0240z:  either faded out or signed off.  Did anyone get an ID on this one????

0200 On with some funky instrumental
0207 Dead - "Positively 4th St", "Harder They Come"
0221 unid Dead tune, "How Sweet It is 2B Loved By You"
0238 off w/o ID heard

This is the dominant station in Chicago, and is in at S9+5 and good audio.  I can see and hear the AM on 6924, but this is rockin' here!
Thanks for the show!

Recorder catch:

6925 USB SIO 222

Weak signal here with most of the show in the noise, but just before the 'Summer' station began transmitting it's SSTV images could here talking from the SSB station?, but hard to make out what was said.

Audio (02:16z [44secs]): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925Am-usb0216z06-20-12.mp3

Thanks :)
