I hear old timey music on 6925usb, nice and clear. Low noise level. A pirate station on my side of the Mississippi is a rare thing. Thanks for the show, Zed!

Complete opposite coasts, DaveP.  Glad we continue to make it out to the right coast.   :)

SDR recording catch.
0210 sign on with "Chattanooga Choo Choo"
0218 ID and email address
0222 "Chattanooga Choo Choo" again
0239 Yosemite Sam Varmint audio (played by someone else?) over "Wonderful World"

Nice program of big band era music, generally an SIO 222 at first, then improving to 333. Maybe even SIO 444 at times.

EE: Any chance your times are off by an hour?

Heard a bit of this around 0315, but I was fed up with trying to zero in the BFO on a relatively weak signal, after having spent a lot of time getting it just right listening to XLR8 earlier. Too bad, I think old big band music is ideal for pirate transmissions.

Heard here also with a fair signal from 0210 approx s/on.  Nice px of big band era mx.

Audio seemed to go a little scrunchy at 0335z, then off.

Thanks ZED!
