Thanks for the ID, Decent signal in GA, but missed the ID while on the phone with work.

Heard "Palisades park", after some talk about summer.

Appropriate, 85 here today, and its a bug fest outside due to our warm winter.

Hrd. here, but I know noone cares due to lack of response to my posts and requests for info on tent. loggings of on-air stns.  Terry: good to see you're still around; pse. send me e-mail sometime if it's not too much trouble to let me know how thing's're goin'.  And a big kiss-my-ass to all who ignored my requests for help to ID stns. and verify contact info that I couldn't quit pp/up but others hrd., but wouldn't forward to me.  This hobby really really sucks compared to what it used to be., and I have very very very little interest to continue.  If anyone cares, I'm now hearing 'Summer in the City.'  Now Mungo Jerry.

Hey, Alex, check to be sure your email or contact info is visible to folks who aren't logged in.  I just realized mine isn't, so ops who aren't registered on HFU wouldn't have any idea how to QSL me unless I contacted them first.

Lex (and we've exchanged mail in the past so you know Lex was my childhood nickname, so hearing from you always brings a biiiiiiig grin to my face!): my contact info is available to anyone and everyone, but very very few have replied on this forum (and others) to my posts for the past while.  That is why I've decided that input from here is no longer of use to most in what's left of this hobby, which used to be so so much fun.  The QSL's that I've received by mail have been such a great source of enjoyment over the years, especially those like the mousepad that I recived form Dead Cat Radio, and I've recived so very very many outstanding e-QSL's over the years, but it's just gotten that most of the former and latter are coming from Euro-pirates, so I'll spend what little free/computer time that I have to euro-pirates and forums dedicated to them.  If anyone is truly interested, I can send copies of e-QSL's of pirate stns. (mostley euros) to them, and I can steer them to forums of euro-pirates, where anyone and everyone is truly welcome, unlike what is happening in North America.  Fuck Bunny and his asshats, and those who are in this hobby just to see their names appear online.  I used to enjoy this hobby/these forums, but besides Zee and a few others, most ops on this side of the pond are anally-retentive, and most posters to these forums are sockpuppets or or those who love to see their names posted online.  Long live the King, and fuck the assholes.

Hi,

Channel Z must my UNID on 6925,1 AM at 23.06-23.33*

I could not understand the name under heavy traffic at that time, but I identified several songs :
2312 Mungo Jerry "In the summertime"
2318 the Kinks "Sunny afternoon"
2323 Otis redding "The dock of the bay"

2333 no more signal (but Radio Mushroom followed, in USB)

All heard in France (yes, the other side of the pond!)

Alex_In_West, what kind of replies do you want?

Several years ago I copied an Undercoverradio transmission and sent the info to him by regular mail. To my surprise I received a large envelope which included an 8X10" QSL card and a CD with the whole program that was supposed to be broadcast. Only about the first half hour of the program was actually broadcast. I believe Dr. Benway said in an included note that the transmission took place from a beach in Jamaica.

Sure was a classy way to QSL, though!
