Equipment / Re: What Radio Did you start your listening hobby with?

« on: April 11, 2012, 0104 UTC »

Sometime in the mid-70s, my brother put me in front of his Sony Earth Orbiter and handed me an earplug. He told me that, if I was REALLY quiet (translation: don't bug me), I could hear stations from all over the world. I spent the rest of the night listening to stations from all over the world in foreign languages and accents I'd never heard before. I was hooked, but didn't have much of an outlet for my fascination until I got a Realistic DX-360 for Christmas in 87. KUSW went on the air a few days later, and I was hooked all over again.

Tuned in around 0225 utc to hear old time blues and bluegrass music. Talk about St. patricks Day andsocial media. Not a great copy, but in over the considerable static. SIO 323.

A rebroadcast simulcast of a show from WBCQ, complete with station IDs. Still struggling to identify.

Heard White Bird, and commentary about how that track had been played a lot on their copy.
Hot Tuna, Baby what you want me to do
Band called Leprechaun

Positive ID around 0305 utc, and mention of 'Unauthorized' rebroadcast of web stream on 6925. "6925 is coming in better tonight than 5110..." It is??

I've got something very faint around 6924. I made out 'world service', but missed out on anything that would help to ID.

Heard mention of Guilders, and RNI. Is someone relaying Radio Netherlands?

Anybody else hearing this? It's right at my noise level.
