Post by: RCCI on May 02, 2015, 0347 UTC: 03:47 Just hearing faint music - barely above the noise level here
04:18 hearing the music OK-----song ---Centerfold audio is a tough go
04:20 heard ID Radio Free ? into Patsy Cline song - After Midnight-----(much clearer after I tightened up the filters)
04:26 ID - live show?

Because I could not make out the exact ID- will go with what the others have deciphered. Radio True North it will be.

Thanks all to who have posted! OK Chris....ready to move to Skipmuck's thread.... ;D

Thanks for the Show RTN!

Post by: refmo on May 02, 2015, 0351 UTC: Weak here as well, AM signal.
ID @ 0349 - "Radio Free ???" (possibly Radio Free Mars). S4 Carrier.
Time check at 0355.

Clear "Radio Free Mars" ID @ 0408
I wish I had been recording. I guess this was Radio True North instead of Radio Free Mars.

Post by: blw on May 02, 2015, 0402 UTC: Signal very visible on the spectrum, but faint audio heard. I can tell something is there, but that's about all. Some music coming in right now. Thanks for the show.

Post by: Skipmuck on May 02, 2015, 0407 UTC: Hey DJ Dickweed....I thought I heard him say Skipmuck....chatting with RTN in the IRC and he said Hi...not sure to whom though. Gave up drinking 11 years ago. Probably hear better if I started again :-X
Nah...I'd never survive another encounter with Dr. Smirnoff 8)

Edit:Listening back on the recording Saturday morning and I don't hear what I thought I heard last night....

Post by: JohnS on May 02, 2015, 0422 UTC: Thought this might have been Radio Free Mars but ID @ 0420 sounded like Radio True North.
Static or not, maybe time to recalibrate the ears.

Post by: l0ngwire on May 02, 2015, 0555 UTC: I'm hearing Radio True North in AM fairly well in Santa Barbara on 2 May 2015 at 0550 UTC. I believe I heard an e-mail adress of radiotruenorth@gmail.com.

Post by: ChrisSmolinski on May 02, 2015, 1930 UTC: I heard the ID at 0408 on the SDR recording, at about half past the minute. To me, it sounds like Radio True North.

Post by: Skipmuck on May 02, 2015, 2219 UTC: This was definitely Radio True North 8)
Centerfold-J Geils and Walking After Midnight-Patsy Cline were played by Radio Free North at the times posted in these loggings. :)
