Title: UNID, 6925 AM, 0230 UTC
Post by: Bowman1 on May 13, 2012, 0231 UTC
On with chimes and music, I'd Love to Change the World, by Ten Years After.

Pretty tough copy here tonight, just above the noise. S3 on the meter.

A couple of off and ons, then back with more music Shinedown and 45. A good 2 to 3 s units stronger too.

6925 AM SIO 323-434

Decent signal & audio with little to no fade with increased signal strength later in broadcast.

02:29z bells tolling
02:30z 'I'd Love To Save The World' - 10 Years After
02:33z off
02:34z back on with Shinedown's '45'
02:39 off & then back on again with "..failure to communicate.." quote from Cool Hand Luke then off
02:40z sounded like Dr. Benway came on for a second with "...helloooo radio.." after AM station left the air & then bird sounds

Audio (02:29z-02:41z): http://archive.org/download/ShortwaveOddsSodsTransmissions/Unid_pirate6925Am0229z-0241z05-13-12.mp3

Thanks! :)

Came on around S9, audio a bit thin

0230 Clock tower chimes, 10YA - "I'd Love to Change the World"
0234 off/on a couple two tree times
0235 On big with Shinedown - 45; big time sig now at S9+15, much better audio
0239 "What we got here is failure to communicate" and off
0241 On briefly with bird chirp - was this from Radio RSA IS?

I checked an online IS archive, and this does seem to be a very similar, if not the same, bird chirp.  Weird, because I heard that chirp following this show and then expected to hear the familiar "Ver in die Wereld Kitty" song on guitar.

I wish I would have heard the ending of this. I remember that old RSA interval signal and would've liked to have heard it. I also remember the early 90s when that guy would come on 7415 and say nothing but 'Hello, radio!' and then disappear again.
