Great signal and audio from Wolverine Radio tonight, S9 to S9+10. Just had a ident at 0420z followed by what sounds like SSTV, and apparent signoff. No recorder or decoder going, would love to see it if someone was able to grab it.

~ 2030z I can hear faint hint of music (if I'm on USB), possibly the Who - Who Are You?

Not bad from 40 watts up north.

Thanks,

Edit: as I posted I caught a ident at 2031z.

Identified as Undercover Radio shortly after 0400z and again at 0421z. Announced this is a "10 Watt Northwoods Broadcast".

Before and after it is atmospheric music with male "affirmation" monologue. I think he identified himself as Dr. Benway, not sure there was a noise peak over that.

Still getting RTN pretty well here. Noise is creeping in more and more now.

~0340z w/ "Disco" missed the identification of the artist on the ident that followed (why does noise always hit at the absolute worst moment!)
~0345z ident followed by Black Sabbath - Paranoid
~0350z w/ AC/DC - You Shook Me All Night Long

Great night!

  Yeah they must be because I usually have the most success with these guys. It's great here tonight, I've got RTN on one vfo and NRS on the other!

Just caught the id of Northern Relay Service. Not sure what they are relaying, however signal and noise have both improved here in the last couple of minutes.

I've not heard an Id yet but it is in the noise here in AZ as well, every so often it peaks up enough to be moderately describable . I'm hearing what sounds like Geddy Lee peaking through the noise, so I'm guessing a Rush tune, but not sure which.

Signal is decent tonight, seems to be improving in the last few minutes, 0410z . I'm experiencing above average fading here, making it a little rough listening tonight.

I'm not hearing anything on 6955 am. I'm hearing something on 6955u here in AZ at just after 0400z, pretty decent S7. Not sure if maybe I'm catching something new or if they have switched to SSB now. I've not heard any ident or even a voice yet. Just elevator type instrumental music.

Great signal into AZ tonight. Little bit of fade but otherwise a great Halloween show, great selections so far.

Sounds like they were transmitting SSTV at about 0340z. Anybody catch that?

No recording or decoder up at that moment. Arrggh!

Signal has improved a little here in the last 20-30 minutes. Its peaking out above the noise more often then not now. Caught the Northern Relay Service / Radio Free Manitoba ident then off shortly after 0330z.
