I'm hearing some threshold music at 2159 UTC amidst considerable static crashing.
2207 UTC Signal has come up just a bit but the T-storm static is really bad and shazam isn't able to cut through it
2208 UTC SSTV!
2209 UTC Another SSTV but nada on the copy...may have been PD120 mode?
I believe this is from Europe....
2219 UTC OM talking but nada on the copy
2224 UTC Techno sounding tune
(Finally at 2226 UTC Shazam was able to ID the song as "Robot"-T.A.T.U) 
2227 UTC OM talk, into SSTV (Martin 2 mode?)
2230 UTC OFF?

Hey, I was able to ID one song....how about a QSL?

General Radio Discussion / Re: Brother Stair in Europe!

« on: July 21, 2018, 2117 UTC »

Much has been said about the advent of the internet leading to the last dying gasps of shortwave radio as a viable medium for a vanishingly small audience. How many listeners are left and how much will we compromise our tastes in broadcasting in order to preserve it? Do we really need to become apologists for the likes of Ralph Stair and Alex Jones to preserve the last of what was once a thriving, vibrant, and fascinating hobby? The cost is too high in my personal opinion. Is the financial backing of such people justifiable to stem the tide of shortwave station closures? No more shortwave vs Brother Stair? What's the difference?
