Radio Ga Ga 6925 USB 0512 UTC
« on: August 12, 2012, 1427 UTC »
Signed on with "Night Moves". ID at 0516 "Radio Ga Ga, Pirate Shortwave", then "Her Strut", "Southern Cross".

Fair signal overall, sometimes coming well above the noise level, then fading back down.

Perhaps your 0530z UNID, Lex?

12 Aug 2012 Recorder Catch

Start and stop times are fuzzy; could be either signal or audio fades.

0510 Came in mid Bob Seger - "Night Moves"
0514 "Radio Ga-Ga, pirate shortwave" ID followed by a block of music including Seger - "Her Strut", CSN - "Southern Cross", Dire S -
        "Money 4 Nothing", Neil Young - "The Needle".
0527 Pink Floyd - "Wish You Were Here"
0531 faded out during the last song

Fair signal, but a bit fady.

Thanks RGG!
