Title: Current Time Radio 6925 U
Post by: textim on August 04, 2012, 0559 UTC

Heard the Timekeeper giving the current time at 0555z.  Sounded like he was in QSO with another station that I was unable to hear.  Also gave shoutouts to several listeners, including Sealord, jFarley and others.

S9+ signal!

Thanks Timekeeper!

Don't know if it was the same station, but someone played "Time" by Alan Parsons just after the Timekeeper went off.  Nice audio and a very good signal as well!

Recorder Catch on 6925.060USB

Sitting on the patio and having the first of several cups of Dunkin Donuts fresh-brewed bean and listening to CTR.  The current time and shoutouts as textim noted (Thanks, Timekeeper!) and also to thechoat and Jon Maples sandwiched between a pair of quick QSOs to an unid op.  All parties heard at very good level here.

Thanks CTR!

Following CTR, the Alan Parsons track also heard very well 0602 - 0607z.  
Following the Alan Parsons track, there was a 3rd short transmission in a computerized voice 0609 - 0610z.  Still deciphering that.

Came back to the receiver around 06:01z (didn't even know CTR had been on!) to hear Alan Parsons with a nice signal for one song, no ID & then off.
