Via a recording. Weak and unusable here. SSTV in Martin 1 at 2303 and 2349 started and stopped but never got going. The only clear copy I had was "Happy Trails," the "From the Barnyard...Thunder Chicken Radio," and the closing Thunder.
Usually TCR has a very respectable signal, but not last (14 May) night.

Not a peep or a sighting here on 6880, 6935, or 7000, +/- 20 minutes around 0400 UTC. The storm? Too close (42 1/2 miles)? Too far (42 1/2 miles)?
Bummer!

Via a recording. Probably Captain Morgan Shortwave.
A carrier appeared at 2344 on 28 April with no audio heard. It disappeared at 2346, but returned at 2347 with instrumental Blues that became a male vocal at 2350. There was an ID at 2354 that was not understood until I rewound the recording and tried USB. Then I heard a male announcer say "
Morgan Shortwave." Captain Morgan, then?
USB was not great, but it was better than either AM or LSB.
At best, 25332

Via a recording. 35433 in Wyomissing. The noise isn't too bad, but there are deep fades, accompanied by distortion. Looking at the waterfall, a bandwidth of about 12,000 Hertz seems to fit.
The carrier popped-up a few seconds before 0028 and I heard a faint male voice at 0030. Then and ID and email address.

Listening via a recording. In the IDs by the YL, she does not say "Radio Nowhere Man." She says "Radio Nowhere, Man," with a deliberate pause between "Nowhere" and "Man." It seems that the station is "Radio Nowhere" and she is telling you that, "Man."

Via a recording. RTI was in progress when my recording started. RTI shut down a 0243. Noise and frequent fading made listening difficult. 35332 was average for the broadcast. I believe that they gave both a mailing address and an email address more than once, but I never was able to discern either because of a Techno voice or the noise and fading. The mailing address was Wuppertal, Germany.
Ron
Oops. Wrong broadcast. The one that I heard was earlier on the 12th.

Via a recording. The carrier appeared about 0640, followed immediately with "Seventh Son." 32 dB over the noise means AM should be okay here. As reported, whole bunches of 1930's and 40's music. The signal was not nearly as nice in Wyomissing as others reported where they were: 45343 early in the broadcast, but by 0652 it was 35342. Never a hint of an ID.
Nice show, thanks,
Ron
The Elad showed 6950.15
