Discordant music, instrumentals heard. Very good signal. Clear. Thanks for the show. S9+10.
XLR8 ID. Signal is getting even better.

The ute kept creeping down from 6.940 slowly. I had 4 notch filters going in Studio1, each 20 Hz for the faint CW and other weak utes that popped up. Signal was still very good quality with the small notch filters until the big ute hit 6.937.5 or so.

Thanks for the show, XLR8.

We doing requests tonight? How about some RATM or Beastie Boys? :)

Post by: Antennae on November 08, 2014, 0502 UTC
I like beasties too.

Dear XLR8,
I appreciate your electronic music. We don't get a lot here in California. There is a show on Sun. night for 2 hours on FM broadcast.  For a while you were fading in and out. I have this beverage antenna I installed for Halloween.  And it wasn't working that great for your show. Its aimed at Virginia. Then I turned off an electrical device and the noise level went down, so I can hear more. But its noisier than my skyloop. I have alligator clips on my portable and if I switch the polarity on my skyloop I get a better signal with it at the moment.

The angry music is appreciated. I'm reading an article here about how Google and other evil corporations want to store people's genomes in their clouds. it makes me angry. I want my effing privacy.

I've been hearing some Daniel Johnston songs, including "Casper the Friendly Ghost" 2X. Not sure if it's still XLR8, but the signal/audio quality is fairly similar.

0604z - XLR8 ID

I would post another time stamp for "off air," but....  :D

----

0610z - Music heard, but it appears conditions are shifting here, assuming the transmission is related. Very faint signal, even with the preamp.
