No bother - I just didn't know what 55 meant. Apparently it means "best success".

Do you remember SPIFFs? I worked for them for one summer and spiffs (cash bonus on certain products) were an extra way to make money for the employee. SPIFFs on big CB base stations were huge as were those for the first computers. Once in a while I'll ask an employee and they are still around, but not worth much.
The Chicago area had a bit of a problem with drug sales out of some stores. In order to get a job, you had to pass a lie detector test and at least half the questions related to drugs.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Free Whatever, 6925 AM, 0430z, 1-15-14
« on: January 15, 2014, 0433 UTC »
Big signal at sign-on around 0425z. S8 with nice quality AM audio. 43444. Intro chatter about shortwave, T-shirts, then into Queens of the Stone Age.
Signal quickly dropped to S1-S5 and frequent fades at 0438z. Intermittent QRM hash near me is S7 and killing the signal too.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: XLR8 6935 KHz USB 2350z+
« on: January 01, 2014, 2359 UTC »
XLR8 into Chicago with a steady S8 signal and clear audio. ID at 2358z during continuous dance music. IIRC this is my first time hearing XLR8.
0017z - Ting Tings?
0024z - ID
0039z - Goodfellas "...always wanted to be a gangster", ID then off.
Thanks for the show. Solid S8 to the end. QSL appreciated.
We're both screwed up on time Redhat

S7 on an S6 noise floor with peskies about. Good solid carrier with bits of audio popping out now and then. Seems to be slowly improving.

Software / Re: Shortwave Broadcast Schedules Beta 0.0.2b2
« on: January 01, 2014, 1815 UTC »
Chris,
Two issues have come up on my 0.0.2b2 version.
1) When I open the program, I get a repeating pop-up window saying that "this beta version has expired".
2) When I download the latest sked and renamed the file to sked.csv.txt, I was expecting some confirmation that the program was using it. This did not happen.
Please advise.
