Heard this come on just after 0025 UTC and had difficulty tuning in the right frequency...seems to be on 6925.1 USB...solid S7 signal with some peskie QRM
0038 UTC with Lady announcer and ID, then OFF
0040 UTC Back up again :) Lady announcer with clear ID, into music
0044 UTC ID by OM? "This is Twangy Radio", then OFF again

Yep, after tuning in as well as I could, there is definitely a bit of Twang to the
audio ;D
(Listening back to the recording at 0040 UTC and the ID goes something like..."Spoken in an automated robotic voice, ? I'm not. I'm just...?...girl you wouldn't take home to ma...? much better. This is Twangy Radio")

Sounding really good tonight! Excellent prop this evening!

How about "Like An Inca"-Neil Young with Trans Band?
0133 UTC Thanks XLR8!!! You rock! Love that guitar interplay between Neil and Nils Lofgren
(Nice low end on that USB audio!....wow, never heard the long version with the extra solo at the end :))

Thanks for the eclectic mix of tunes tonight! The NRD is now on timer while I fall asleep to the sounds of the arcane XLR8 music library...thanks again for the request 8)

S6 here 2327 UTC with "Sweet Child of Mine"-Gun's N Roses, OM with ID at 2329 UTC, into "Fox On The Run"-Sweet
2333 UTC OM, then UNID song
2337 UTC Channel Z jingle, then "Hocus Pocus"-Focus :)
(I'm measuring frequency as 6856.3ish)
{Darn microinverter noise crept in at 2342 UTC >:(...just barely could make out Z giving email address at 2344 UTC}
Could just barely ID the song from Nirvana through the noise....

Thanks again Chris...I was straining my ears through a high local noise level....it would have been around 1400-1401 UTC....maybe I was hearing things after all ??? Those voices just won't let up on me......

QSLs Received / Re: ARCHIVES-"CCAT-Canadian Club Radio" 1985
« on: April 19, 2015, 1934 UTC »
Very nice Chris! My QSL letter is still to be found, but my recollection is that it had much the same information as your's. I recall that the initial broadcasts were done using the COAX call letters, and a subsequent transmission I heard was indeed as CCAT-Canadian Club Radio. The operator was bummed out after a lady friend had broken up with him and was lamenting the fact with a number of F-bombs during the broadcast...
Now why did I throw away all those hundreds of cassette tapes I recorded during the 1980's... >:(

Thanks Chris!  8) Now if I could have only turned the cassette recorder on I might have been able to ferret out what the announcer was saying at 1400 UTC....

One last check before heading out to the backyard, and caught the end of an eerie sounding trance instrumental at S5 amidst the neighbors solar power microinverter buzz, then man announcer (couldn't make out what he said), then more trance music until 1403 UTC and off. Tuned in on AM, but used USB to cut through some of the noise. Interesting and spooky :o
Whoever you were....how about an email to assure me I wasn't hearing things 8)

Tuned in at 2302 UTC on 6872.7 KHZ with 2 ham ops chatting about radio...gave call signs and one was named Chuck. Man announcer at 2305 UTC with ID and email address and that "QSL's were available for correct reception reports", statement repeated twice, then OFF. I was able to hear program better using USB. Will have to listen back on the recording.....

I received this Polaroid photo of the CCAT transmitter setup back in the mid 1980's and thought I would share it here. I can't find the personal letter QSL it came with, but my recollection is that the op also announced using the call letters COAX and used a snail mail address in Toronto. Does anyone else remember this one or have any other information? I would be interested in hearing anything about this Canadian operation!
