Rough copy here. Right at my (high) noise level. S8, a lot of static, light QSB.

05:03z Discussion of some political sort. "ignorant, uneducated...." "Most heavily reproducing.. What's going to happen in another million years..." (Sounds like an "Idiocracy" scenario, hah!)
05:05z "Gonna hand it off to one of my co-hosts"

I Wandered off for bit to lower part of 40m

05:28z Two way QSO. Mention of life elsewhere than on this little rock
05:29z Hoping we had some listeners not in this country
05:30z Hearing mentions of Red Mercury Labs
05:21z Sign off. "Good job Dr Who, good job"

Kind of odd. Interesting enough I wish I'd heard it better.

Only catching bits and pieces.

Skeezix, okay, now I don't feel so bad! Everybody covered each other in the swing era, so sometimes it's hard to nail down an artist. Andrews/King/Boswell sisters sounded like each other on purpose. The hit parade was ranked on sheet music sales, not record sales. Often 78s of the same song were offered at different price points, depending on the popularity of the artist. If you couldn't afford the Bing Crosby version, there were less expensive cover bands available.

04:19z Swing tune - Beny Goodman
04:23z "Lady is a Tramp"
S9 +5Db - Signal building a touch
04:25z "Sophisticated Lady" Not sure of the artist - kind of sounds like Modernaires.

Skeezix, you got Soundhound going or what? :) I know this era, and you're nailing them!

04:28z "Naughty Lady of Shady Lane" I want to say Mills Bros, but that's not right
04:31z Radio Wolverine ID
04:31z "Little Old Lady From Pasadena" Beach Boys, oops Jan and Dean - Go granny, go granny, go granny go.
04:34z "Lady Godiva" Can't recall artist.

Sig back up to +5Db and then some
04:48z Bob Dylan -"Lay Lady Lay" Nashville Country Skyline
04:51z Green Eyed Lady - Sugarloaf?

Distracted by chasing DX on 30m. Good condx demand some air time.

05:11z mid-song "That ain't no way to treat a Lady" Artist forgotten long long and many brain cells ago.
05:12z Wow, can't drag this one out of the memory banks either.
05:14z Lyle Lovett "She's no Lady"

Was not expecting to be on the air with DJ Redhat. A little "ate up with the dumbass"" over that one. Sent him a YouTube link of Little Feat "Fatman in the Bathtub".

03:51z I've lost them. Not sure if they went off, or condx shifted radically. Been strong all night. Hope you all enjoyed my Zappa request.

Thank you DJ Redhat, great show tonight.

Catherwood

PS. If anyone is recording, I would appreciate a link later. I cannot hear them anymore. I see on Skeezix's log that DimBulb sent DJ Redhat "Two Trains" by Little Feat. Good selection! Hope the folks enjoyed it. Thank You!

03/25/12 6.950 AM

Very nice signal into very middle of America. S9 +10Db. Covering all static in AM mode. Practically commercial broadcast quality signal as long as keep the filters under 3200K.

02:24z ID The power of ? This is XFM
02:25z Back to music - I don't know the artist ."..brand new day, banging of the drum.. Ian Brown
02:27z Shout out to Red Mercury Labs, rundown on tracks
02:28z gave out email address.. mention of good condx

Catherwood

PS - Stepped outsiode with my tiny little Degen DE 321 and picked up Filter - "Where do we go from here", into announcer with playlist rundown. This is  $20 radio with an 18" whip!

PS. Hmm, I transcribed the email address wrong. It bounced.

PPS. Main receving station here is a Ten Tec Jupiter and a 31' ground mounted vertical with 32 radials. Stepped in to the kitchen and got a decent signal on  my old Zenith TransOceanic Royal 7000 with just the whip. Impressive.

Thanks for the show.

Hah. Thanks for the shout out RMLs.

I really gotta get an email address with the correct gender. Catherwood is male. Audrey Farber/Melanie Haber/Susan Underhill/Betty Jo Bialoski/Nancy is my wife. (She's in the aviary, studying trees presently.)

Koo Koo Ca Choo...

PS. signal building a touch. Still strong and covering almost all static

PPS. That's Jupiter and Saturn lined up in the Western sky. Jupiter is the bright one.

Red Mercury Labs 03/25/2012

Very nice signal in the middle of the US. Noise floor about S6. Sig S8/S9+5Db As long as they're over S9, They're covering the static.
Good balance between the announcer audio and the music audio.

01:24z UnID Classical piece ID's as Wagner@
01:29z Radio Mercury Labs ID, " A sort of German Theme for tonight... something a little different...
01:31z "Rockin' Like a Hurricane
01:35z I should know this one... Sure can hear it well anyway.
01:39z Red Mercury Labs ID ...been in the wheel house all day, getting a little tired...
01:40 on to Scorpions got the Dipole V hanging from the yard arm...

Fired up the old Zenith TO Royal 700o and was able to tease RMLs out on just the whip sitting on the kitchen table. Nice Job Red Mercury!

02:38z Shout out to Captain Ron.
03:13z Sign off. "The manliest of modes,USB".

05:11z right at noise level in the very middle of America. Sounds like Zeppelin "Whole Lotta of Love"
05:12 "Come on Eileen"
05:16z "Cars"
05:20z Hmm, I lived through the eighties as an adult, I should remember this one. "Don't you want me, baby..." sig up to +5Db
05:24z "Get in my Belly!" Austin Powers clip
05:24z ??? Good copy, I just don't recognize the tune.
05:39z "Come on Eileen" reprise a few bars
05:39z Voices with some echo. Can't make out.
05:40z Sounds like live announcer, but too noisy. "Thank you (someone)"
05:41z gone
05:43z Okay, not gone, I think I hear "Col. Turtlehead"? I didn't hear "Catherwood", did I?

Someone calling Col. Turtlehead. Good copy on the exchange between caller and the Col. "Hope to have another show Sat. or Sun."
05:44z Signoff.

Audio is a little thin, but pretty legible now. Sig not really building much, but the noise level is coming down. Also getting the static crashes here, of course.

Thanks for the show!

They've just come up out of the noise here in flyover country. Heard another shoutout to S. McArdle @ 01:59z. Very tough copy with the storm noise here. UnID Music @ 02:00z.

Catherwood

EDIT: Shout out to me @ 02:07z. Thanks magic shortwave radio. Half the time I don't know where flyover country is either. Sigs up to 10Db over even without shouting.

02:11z Guitar riff opening and vocals sound like maybe Jane's Addiction?
02:15z ID Magic Shortwave Radio
