Title: Thunder Chicken Radio 6955 USB 2152 UTC 22 JAN 2024
Post by: ChrisSmolinski on January 22, 2024, 2152 UTC
2152 Just tuned in, SIO 444. Not exactly sure yet what I listening to. Someone, or several people talking? Sound effects?
2159 OM speaking, but low modulation. Off?
2200 No, back with sound effects.
2207 Music. 6955.1 might sound a little better?

2228 SSTV

Not loud out here near Seattle, but this is audible with music at 0024 UTC. To get reception of a pirate during West Coast daylight hours is a little unusual.

Musical selection followed by SSTV transmission. A man announcer followed with an announcement at 0040 UTC ("One more for you before we call it a night. Thanks for listening."). Another vocal selection. Poor to fair signal.

0013  Program of 2 mostly hard rock instrumental songs, an SSTV at one point (didn't decode here), 0040 SSTV, "One more for you, then we'll call it a night", hard rock blues, "If you haven't heard Thunder Chicken before, you have now.", pause, 'Happy Trails' - , "You are listening to Thunder Chicken Radio", peal of thunder, off 0049

Fair to good.
