Title: WDEF 6966 USB 0002 UTC 22 AUG 2025
Post by: Treehouse SWL on August 22, 2025, 0002 UTC
S7ish signal heard via the Lodi, New York, SDR. Good audio level amid low to moderate noise ...

0002 UTC: "Hobo's Blues" by Paul Simon.
0003 UTC: "Paranoia Blues" by Paul Simon.
0005 UTC: Start of a "Richard Diamond, Private Detective" episode starting Dick Powell, just like last night on this frequency. That was IDed as WDEF.
0010 UTC: This "Richard Diamond" episode is titled "The Rene Bennet Protection Case." Since Captain Mitchell himself posted below, I feel safe in saying this is WDEF again.
0033 UTC: "Concerto for Orchestra, Sz. 116: I. Introduzione" by Eugene Ormandy & The Philadelphia Orchestra.
0043 UTC: Robotic-voiced WDEF ID, then the continuation of a female-narrated book on tape.
0057 UTC: We're still a couple hours away from sunset out here near Seattle, but I can hear the female book-on-tape narrator very weakly both directly on my radio and via the Northwest Seattle SDR. Pretty good range, WDEF!
0132 UTC: "I Can't Make It Anymore" by Richie Havens. The music's definitely making it out to my radio here near Seattle.
0133 UTC: "Justice" by Kim Milford.
0138 UTC: More music and dialogue from the "Ciao! Manhattan" soundtrack album.

Thanks for more music and radio drama tonight, WDEF!
