Title: Gumby theme 6925 - High Plains Relay Service
Post by: Zoidberg on November 26, 2011, 0256 UTC

11/26/11, 6925 USB, 0242-0252z: Heard a few minutes of "Bend Me, Shape Me", Gumby sound bits, some song about Gumby being dead.  Suddenly off around 0252z.  Pretty good signal here for 10 minutes, punching through the usual heavy local RFI.

0258z: Back, picking up with end of Gumby is dead song, into Devo "Blockheads"

0315z: Another minor glitch, brief dead air, then picked up where left off.  Beatles "Twist and Shout"

After I ran my recording through noise reduction I could hear the High Plains Relay Service ID just before the start of this program.

Followed at 0328z by what sounded like a spoof about the "future and history of vinyl".  Steep signal decrease after 0330z, not sure if same station on now, hearing some slow paced guitar music.

I hear John Kay's voice coming through so must be Steppenwolf tune 0334.  Don't recognize song but sounds a little bit like something from the 'Monster' medley, so maybe same LP?  Is this same stn.?
Seems off right after this.

Checking my SDR recordings... I heard HPRS as well, very good signal, S8, nice audio overall.
