Title: Radio True North, 6945 AM, 0240 UTC
Post by: Bowman1 on October 20, 2012, 0243 UTC
I've got Radio True North on 6945 with Falco's  'Der Komissar'. Signal is about an S6 to S7 here in Iowa. SIO 343 Thanks for the tunes, RTN!

Got some nice dance beat at 0320.  About S8 here with slow fades.

Right at the S3 noise level here, with quite a bit of utility data interference.
Listening in USB, I can make out 'When the Rain Begins to Fall' by Jermaine Jackson and Pia Zadora, in between the utility qrm. Signal may be picking up a bit.

Got them in pretty good here. About S-5 with occasional S-7.

10/20/12, 6945 AM, 0520z: Radio True North IDs, music, not quite clear enough to ID any songs so far.  Rough conditions, very fadey.
0555z: Some hip-hop with "bow bow bow" sorta sound - familiar but can't recall title or group.

Noted here on the SDR recording, fair/good signal overall, about -90 dBm.

Could see a weak carrier, but never could hear audio.

We listened for about three hours last night. Great signal at 02:45, but fading until it was difficult to hear by 04:45.

Not so lucky with this in Oregon.  The signal became very strong (S9+40) with music at 0205 -- for about 2 minutes.  Then it faded away, with only a weak carrier remaining.  I figured it was Radio True North, but it went away before an ID.
