6925 USB 3 Sept 2015 0230 UTC

0230z: Just tuned in, didn't catch ID, hearing Charlie Sexton "Beat's So Lonely" through heavy local RFI.  Haven't heard the Texas guitar slinger in many years.  Some audio or transmitter glitches.
0235z: ID, sounds like Turtlehead Radio, but not sure due to heavy local RFI
0236z: Gene Loves Jezebel "Desire"
0243z: Another ID, still buried under local RFI.  More classic '80s tunes, INXS "Original Sin"
0250z: Icicle Works "Birds Fly (Whisper to a Scream)" - just barely audible but familiar
0251z: Loud and clear ID for Turtle Head Radio, audio clip from Tropic Thunder.  Never go full retard.  That's fer dang sure.
0252z: Nick Lowe "Cruel to be Kind".  Also fer dang sure.
0256z: Talking Heads "Take Me to the River"
0306z: Turtle Head Radio ID and Tropic Thunder audio clip.
0319z: Off or faded out.

Don't need Shazam or Firefly for these tunes, even through heavy RFI.

SINPO=32322, decent signal peaks but lots of roller coaster fading and heavy local RFI from parking lot and street lights.

Clear signal coming in, just not very strong. Low noise right now. Almost bumping S9. Thanks for the show and good audio.

6325 USB / Sep 03 / 0324-0332*?
Tail-end of show.  Sounded like song "Take Me to the River" with station ID ~0328.  S/off or loss of signal after cover of T Rex's "Bang-a-Gong."  Weak signal barely audible in high noise floor.

Buried here by Captain Morgan until they signed off at 0251, then a weak signal was revealed on the SDR recording.
Thanks for the show, I have not heard Turtle Head Radio in a while!
