Title: WEAK Radio 6930U early show
Post by: Zoidberg on January 04, 2010, 1148 UTC
1/4/10
6930 USB
1120z: "Bye Bye Tuesday"?
1125z: Blues-rock song w/ TalkBox guitar, "My daddy was a Gibson, My mama was a Fender, That's why they call me Mindbender" (Google fu sez: Stillwater - Mindbender)
1133z: Jokey song intro, kinda reminiscent of Bill Murray from Clapton's Crossroads tour doing his best Wavy Gravy impression.
1136z: Hitler jokes, wacky version of Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop"
1149z: WEAK Radio ID
1156z: "I Don't Need No Doctor"
1200z: ID - "As weak as a weak signal can be and still be a signal.  WEAK Radio."
1230z: Still audible but rarely above S2 since 1200z.
1235z: Spoke too soon, peaking S4-S5 again with punchy bass in jazzy stuff and hard rock
1240z: WEAK IDs w/ e-mail address
1242z: Getting a second wind after brief pause, some gritty, mumbling, old school blues: "Railroad in my pillow crossties in my bed..."
1250z: Off after two-song encore and IDs.  Take a bow, now take a nap.

Hovering around S3, occasional peaks to S7, lots of fades to inaudible.  Seem to be some audio drop-outs and pauses too, hard to tell with the fading.  Punchy bass and great audio, easy to copy.  Occasional local RFI bursts (darned parking lot light)

Nice clear fat signal into Orlando this morn, little noise.
1244z ID with email, sounds like sign off.
