Post by: textim on June 12, 2010, 0201 UTC
Tuned in at 0139z.

0139  Cherish - The Association
0142  Paperback Writer - The Beatles
0144  Why Can't I Be You - The Cure
0147  Love Street - The Doors
0150  Wolverine Radio ID, Friday on My Mind - The Easy Beats
0152  Saved by Zero - The Fixx
0156  Dunno this one
0158  Bus Stop - The Hollies

Good signal, about S9, slight fade.

Nice copy, A through Z.  Thanks to the folks in #pirateradio for figuring out the theme, and help identifying the songs and performers!

Kudos to DimBulb for spotting the theme: Alphabetical by artist name. Nice call, DB!

6/12/10
6925 USB
0140z: Didn't hear the distinctive "Testing 1-2-3" intro, but signal popped up during "Cherish", holding well through "Paperback Writer", Cure "Why Can't I Be You", Doors "Love Street"
0151z: Wolverine Radio ID, into Easybeats "Friday On My Mind", Fixx "Saved By Zero"
0158z: Chipmunk rock! Go-Go's got the beat. Look out! Jane Weidlin is faaallliinnnggg!
0207z: Faded a bit, sounds like old Jefferson Airplane, "Good Shepherd"? We must be up to the J's.
0210z: Kingsmen "Louie Louie"
0213z: Hertz So Bad, must be Little Anthony & Imperials version (IRC folk say Lettermen, not Li'l Agony)
0215z: Monkees "Last Chimp From Clarksville"
0221z: Back after brief fadeout, Oingo Boingo "Just Another Day"
0227z: Pretenders. Don't get meee wrooong, but I luvs me some Chrissie Hyyyynde
0254z: Velvet Underground, The Who
0257z: Wolverine fooled me, dunno who this is for "X". I was expecting Exene singing "Blue Spark"
0302z: Runnnn for your braaaiiinnnsss, Zombies!
0305z: SSTV, Scottie 2, mostly buried in noise other than Wolverine Radio logo at bottom.

SINPO=33322, good peaks, lots of fades to moderate noise level. Not strong but punching through usual local RFI, usual good audio from Wolverine.

(Gopher Stomp, TX - "Snoopy" w/ indoor amplified fugloop abomination)
