Title: BOR 6930USB 0110Z - *
Post by: emcatcher on July 22, 2012, 0121 UTC
Hearing BOR (Blue Ocean radio) from about 0110Z, but currently
seems to have faded pretty low for me. Noise level is pretty high and the
signal is well in the noise level. Just barely hearing a signal at the moment.

0110Z Tuned in
0122Z signal has started to come up a little bit again, but still very weak at the moment.
0141Z Blues tune playing, but don't know the name of the song ( BB King?).
0147Z Still playing blues, but don't know the song. Signal still very weak here.
0149Z Heard ID: "Blue Ocean Radio coming to you from the west coast".
0150Z More blues playing, but also don't know the song. :-)
0153Z Another station ID and shout out to me I believe, and email adr given for sending sig reports.
0154Z Blues Song with lyrics "I like a big ?? woman. :-)
0155Z More blues music, but I don't know that many blues songs so don't know the name... Lightning Hopkins?
0204Z Blues/R&B tune
0205Z Into a new blues song, but no surprise, I don't know the name of the song. :-)  
          Signal is a bit better for last little while, around S5. It's still fairly early in the evening,
          so the signal may come up more yet as the evening progresses...
0207Z Another station ID.
0208Z Blues music program continuing... Lyrics: "They call it Stormy Monday"...
0213Z Prominent piano style blues tune.
0224Z Blues program continuing, but sig faded again for last few minutes. Just hearing the sig in there right now.
0228Z Signal came up a bit and into Station ID promos...
0230Z Blues music program continuing...
0239Z Station ID and announcement that OM will change the music theme a bit after the next set of blues tunes.
          ... and thanks for the shout outs BOR!
0253Z Station ID and station email adr for sig reports.
0254Z Sweet Home Chicago
0300Z Music program continuing....
0320Z Band may have started to change a bit, but not in my favor. Sig still S2 to S4 though, still hearing blues tunes,
          but can't name most of the tunes. :-) Conditions not the greatest tonight...
          Quite noisy tonight, maybe lots of lightning out there.
0325Z Station ID promos...
0330Z Station ID and announcements and shout outs. Announcement that the music theme is switching to
           country. Will be playing from a George Jones album...
0358Z Country music still playing. Sig still S2 to S5, so holding in there...

I have to go. Good listening everyone. :-)

I'm hearing BOR right now with banjo and fiddle tunes, weak, but it's getting through the static tonight at 0417 UTC.  I'm also hearing occasional chatter slightly over BOR on the same freq in unknown language.

Noted around 0355z. S5 signal, a little tough with all the static.
