North American Shortwave Pirate / WTF Radio 6955 from 6950 USB 025 UTC 2 May 2020

« on: May 02, 2020, 0037 UTC »

WTF Radio, which moved from 6950 USB (SINPO=45444), where he had played:

Signal overtook The Captain on this frequency. Much stronger than Captain Morgan, and on USB, (so if you're hearing an AM transmission on 6950, especially not playing Jethro Tull, it's almost certainly Captain Morgan).

025- Mother Goose by Jethro Tull.
029- OM IDs as WTF Radio World Wide, broadcasting from the East Coast, presents Jethro Tull.
030- Thick as a Brick
[Lost briefly due to local QRN]
032- Really Don't Mind
034- The Poet and the Painter


Now on 6955 USB (SINPO=45444):

048- Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull
051- OM ID's WTF Radio, and that concludes Part One of Jethro Tull, and now onto Part Two. "Are we really going to do this? Ok, let's go..."
052- See There a Man is Born
055- OM says he's getting hungry. Has Smart Balance but not butter, for his english muffin.
055- Legends and Believe in the Day
104- Tales of Your Life
110- Childhood Heroes Reprise
112- OM IDs WTF Radio World Wide, from the East Coast of North America. Next going to play...only played two. Almost out of time. Here's one more for y'all.
113- Wind Up
117- OM sounds good, sounds good. Came back from break full. WTF Radio World Wide now concludes its scheduled radio programming. Thanks for listening and have a good evening.
117- Warm Sporran
120- A clip of screaming. Then Monty Python skit about being embarrassed (Michael Palin voice over).
122- Monty Python skit about The Wonderful World of Sound (Palin again).
123- Wond'ring Aloud, Again
126- Mother Goose (Just as program began on 6950 USB)
129- Off

Some noise crept in a bit toward the middle of the broadcast, but still a solid signal and very easy to copy.

Thanks for the Tull-fest! Please QSL if you are so inclined. Thanks!
