Huh? / Re: Fansome's right, this Huh? Section is the Obiturary service

Well it's hard to believe,
So you get up to leave,
And you laugh at the door,
That you heard it all before,
Oh it's so good to know
And it's all just a show for you
But when the suppers are planned,
And the freeways are crammed,
And the mountains erupt
And the valley is sucked into cracks in the earth
Will I finally be heard by you, now, LA
Uptight, city in the smog, city in the smog
Don't you wish that you could be here too

General Radio Discussion / Re: Weather reports on your local Travelers Information Station?

« on: March 31, 2015, 2132 UTC »

I've been tuning to the Springfield Armory Historical Museum TIS on 1710 occasionally since the beginning of the test loops back in early 2014. They changed to a standard loop message a month or so later, much of it consisting of directions to the museum. They have since changed the loop message again. With the upcoming construction of the MGM Casino in downtown Springfield, and the rebuilding of the I-91 viaduct, it should be quite a task to actually get to the Museum and I suspect the majority of the message will be entirely dedicated to directions. I have not heard any emergency weather messages this past winter, so I guess I missed them! I used to be able to hear the Hudson County TIS, as well as Radio Celestial. Now I can only occasionally hear whatever pirate is operating on 1710 under the Springfield TIS. I've listened to other TIS in the X-Band and it seems that they broadcast pretty much whatever they want to, FCC regs nonwithstanding. I noticed on some evenings several TIS from PA on 1640 taking turns fading in and out.

I'm getting some threshold audio here at 2115 UTC, but unable to ID the song.
No joy in Skipmuckland again today...the deities of propagation will not allow me good copy above 59 degrees

Thanks for the test MiCk  One of these days I'll hear you again and actually ID a song or two!
