North American Shortwave Pirate / Relays on 6925 AM

« on: March 24, 2011, 0512 UTC »

Liquid Radio at 0310, Voice of the Runaway Maharishi at 0405.  Just random music now at 0510.  Something being read phonetically at 0530, female robo-voice is hard to understand.  OK I got it, "BOZO KISSES DICK" in phonetics, still being repeated at 0540.  That's one helluva interval signal.

Signal has been a fairly steady S7 - S9 with occasional long fades into the noise.
