0010 UTC - Very weak music noted in Northern Ireland using USB to fish it out.
-
0010 Listening via Pennsylvania SDR because there is some terrible QRN in my neighborhood tonight, rendering my receivers fit only for torture. "Magic Carpet Ride." SIO about 333.
0014 "A Day In The Life" copy rougher now, 222
0018 "Crimson and Clover" (just checked on my own receiver, there might be a faint signal there)
0021 OM speaking, too weak to understand
0022 "Purple Haze"
0023 OM speaking again, sounds like commercial
0024 snippets of music, then clip of Tommy Smothers introducing The Who
0026 "My Generation"
0028 "Mama Told Me Not To Come"
as o 0031 the signal is coming up nicely, still noisy though. SIO 423.
0032 "Waiting For The Sun"
0036 "Space Oddity"
0041 "In The Year 2525"
0044 Yosemite Sam clip? Not sure. TCS ID
0045 "I Am The Walrus"
0049 "Manic Depression"
0053 "Subterranean Homesick Blues"
0055 "A Whiter Shade of Pale"
Able to hear OM speaking at 0058 when I was checking to see if I could get this on my own receiver. ID?
0059 "Paint It Black"
0003 "All Along The Watchtower"
Definitely getting TCS here in Denver now, but just at the noise floor.
Pennsylvania SDR signal improving to 333
0007 "Ohio"
0010 "Ode To Billie Joe"
Still at the noise floor here, but my loop doesn't tune all the way to 3400ish, so that's part of the issue
Sounding pretty good on the Pennsylvania SDR, SIO about 333 now
0014 "Tales of Brave Ulysses"
0016 audio clip
0017 "You are listening to Magic Carpet Ride on The Crystal Ship Relay Network"
0017 "Black Magic Woman"
I had to go get dinner.
0047 "Wait a Million Years"
0050 "Hurdy Gurdy Man"

OFF
Thank for the show John Poet!

Hearing the poet tonight at 00:14UTC with a Beatles song signal is fair here in South Carolina some fading 10 over 9 at the moment. Thanks to the Poet for the shout today and great to hear some good tunes! Crimson and Clover as the signal drop some and now hearing My generation after a talk before the song! Signal is holding! Thanks for the show! Three Dog Night Momma told me not to come one of my favorites from the 70's! Sounds like a song from the Doors at 00:32UTC! Waiting for the Sun! Space Oddity by David Bowie and hearing a favorite from the 60's! Hearing the Beatles with I am the Walrus. Hearing Jimi Hendrix with Manic Depression at 00:50UTC! Signal has been all over the place with some heavy fading to a signal near 20 over 9 at the present moment! Hearing Dylan with a song and now hearing Pocol Harum with Whiter shade of pale at 00:57UTC signal has dropped back to S9. The Rolling Stones playing now at 01:02UTC Paint it Black! Hearing Jimi Hendrix now I think this All along the watch tower! No time for you at 01:25UTC forgot the band! Hearing Led Zeppelin at the moment 01:30UTC! Hearing a female with e mail address at 01:38UTC heard a song before but do not know the band! Signal was good tonight some fading but the signal got through here in the Southeast! Thanks again for the show! Purple Haze with Jimi Hendrix! Sunshine of your love at 01:42UTC Hearing Hurdy Gurdy Man by Donovan at 01:52UTC Sign off at off at 01:53UTC Thanks for the great show!!!!
