@1640 Faint music. Just can't pull it out of the noise. Every once it a while it fades up to barely audible.
1800 Crash Into Me, Dave Matthews -- is this the same broadcast? If so, sounds pretty good here now, S5 but clear.
1802 Comin Atcha Live, Tesla (live concert recording)
1809 "WREC, Radio Free East Coast" ID. Misstates time and freq. So this is a rebroadcast/relay of a classic pirate.
1810 Big Time, Peter Gabriel
1813 Op Gives the Wellsville and BRS maildrop addresses
1814 Working Man, Rush
1820 Another ID.
1821 Everybody Needs Somebody, Blues Brothers
1824 Op says he is taking phone requests - next tune requested by a caller from Canada. Come Out and Play, The Offspring
1827 PJ Sparx voice ID, he's expecting WRV. Broadcasts a bunch of PSAs, including a "Kate & Allie" commercial about Rye's Syndrome! Definitely an old-time recording.
1831 Southbound, Allman Brothers Band
1836 PJ Sparx says he got a telephone call from John T. Arthur in Belfast, NY telling him there's SSB QRM on top of his broadcast!
1837 Awfully Quiet, Mighty Mighty Bosstones
1840 Pete The Pirate from WRV is announcing tunes now.
1845 I Want You to Want Me, Cheap Trick
1848 No Sleep Till Brooklyn, Beastie Boys
1852 Philadelphia, Rick Braun
1858 Signal has becomes distorted and unlistenable, then gone at 1900
Thanks for the classic show!
Recording (begins right around 1800 UTC):

signal S5 on the SDR in Fair Hill, Maryland
17.05 talking and maybe ID + music
-
Listening to it here with a bit better signal. Heard the announcer talking & said "73s & Fight for Free Radio," so it might be an old show because I almost never hear that slogan anymore. Maybe the same station who relayed Hope Radio yesterday afternoon?
-
1723: Tuned into mx via NE USA remote SDR. Seemed to shift frequency at times. S-8 signal.
1731: ID'd as Cell Block 13 with old Stoneham, MA maildrop. With today's technology are any of the maildrops active?
1732: sounded like Aretha Franklin "Freedom."
1735: Jimmy Buffett "Cheeseburger in Paradise."
1737: OM w/ another ID but distorted audio with hum. Hope they send out an SSTV ID.
1742: Thought hrd ID as Key West Radio, but not sure. Definitely seems like a relay of an old pgm or parts of one with replies to listeners.
1723: Jimmy Buffett "Pencil Thin Mustache."
1750: Abruptly off then back on. (time approximate)
1754: Signal fading but still heard.
1759: Sign off or fade out.
1812: Peter Gabriel "Big Time." Is this the same station?
Thanks for the show!
-
1731 Strong signal, but somewhat distorted audio.
1743 Sounds like a recording of an old show, mentions of the ACE. Could explain the audio quality.
1749 Off.
1751 Back on.
-
Have had at best some threshold fade ups here since tuning in at 1715 UTC.
1815 UTC "Working Man"-Rush :)
-
1754 UTC - Signal is S5 in WNY with slight fade, audio is making it above the noise.
1814 UTC - Signal is steady S7, audio much stronger.
-
Only S3 @ 1835 with music
1836 - OM talking, mostly poor copy. Signal may be slowly improving
-
Good signal with Pete the Pirate playing Mighty Mighty Bosstones, etc. Not sure if the relay from earlier was WREC?
-
Good signal via na5b and MD SDR
WREC IDs at 1852 UTC (I think announcer said 1952 UTC)....
