North American Shortwave Pirate / Radio Ga-Ga 6925u

« on: August 13, 2009, 0134 UTC »

Signed on at 0036z with SSTV, voice ID
0044 Heart - Magic Man
0049 Steve Miller - Abracadabra

SIO 333, pretty good signal, but lots of static crashes due to local t-storms.

I like the 2nd SSTV image, the static crashes make it even better

Heard here from 0022 sign-on, "You are listening to a totally twisted radio production..."  SIO 423, lots of static crashes covering much of the broadcast.  Some slight fade.  Some qrm from the "27203 authenticate" station at 0055.

Thanks, Sycko!

Came on about 0050 playing electronic sound fx.  At about 0105 started playing a strange mix of science related audio clips interspersed with the sound fx.  Off at 0130 with no ID.  Pretty decent signal, SIO 333.
