Title: Germany Calling, 6940am
Post by: Zane on March 25, 2011, 0033 UTC

Very good S8 signal into Chicago. 6940.0am, SINPO 45444.
ID at 0030z then into Eddie Cantor - Makin' Whoopie.

0038z - Let's go Bombing to the music of Slumming on Park Avenue

On at 0020z with interval signal and ID, into music.  "Makin' Whoopie" at 0032.

S9+20 signal, almost sounds like a commercial broadcaster.

Thanks!

0112z: "Listen to Franklin D. Roosevelt", sounds like parody version of "Daisy, Daisy"
0119z: ID, germanycalling at gmail dot com, sounds like sign-off, Deutschland über alles
0122z: "Germany calling" repeated x3 or x4, more music, "Makin' Whoopie" another seizin' of neighbor's borders, another reason for makin' blitzkrieg.
0131z: Fairly strong peak here at home, clear "Germany calling" repeated IDs audible via barefoot portable indoors, then faded again

Only occasionally audible here at home, fair to good via remote tuner in KY.  When signal fades in KY, it seems to peak briefly here at home.

Nifty theme and concept.  Coincidentally I was just reading about Joyce/Lord Haw-Haw recently, related to a search about Vonnegut's Mother Night.
