Very nice reception into Victoria, BC tonight from 03:05 tune in with same format.  Still another hour or so before sunset, too, so should only improve.  Nice music!   73,   Walt

Using the Arizona SDR as a monitor and the reception is indeed full of static.  We've had thunderstorm after thunderstorm today.  Sorry about that.  :-[

I'm sending this report hoping it will help and not be taken as criticism. The show seemed under modulated and that made vocals difficult to understand. Music carried well and was loud, but they too were a little muddled. I was using SDR software with a lot of noise reduction and AGC. I had a signal about 2.5 kHz wide. Both sidebands were about equal in power and modulation. There was some static at about medium levels. No crashes and no fades.

Thanks for the show, Radio Zed. It was great hearing your station. Got a lot of the music and it sounded very good.

I wasn't sure if it was the same station as unid Uc radio
In Am
243 PSY/ Gangnam style
245 Carlyle Rae Jepsen/ call me maybe
249 John D Boswell Mr Rogers remix / garden of your mind.
253 have no clue what
258 Noah / sexy and I know it
301 Mr Rodgers / won't you be my neighbor remix
306  Mr Rodgers remix / sing together  steady S9
314  JDB/ Julia Child remix/ keep on cooking " freshness is essential"
317 Reading Rainbow remix / in your imagination
320 N/s
S9


That was most likely the UNID from the other thread. Radio Zed specializes in old big band jazz.

Thanks Zed!

Ah, I see Walt up in B. C. caught this, too. Fairly decent signal, @ 1st. thought Wolverine Radio... but nooooo... Uncle Johnny caught another one...Pirate, that is.
