Weak signal staying just barely above the static for the most part.

10:42z can hear music. but can't ID song
10:46z piano/synth
10:48z could hear someone talking briefly, but couldn't make it out
10:49z "..(?).Radio.(?).."
10:52z sounds like Dak's voice, but still too weak for positive ID
10:55z rockin tune with synth/guitar begining - signal is slowly improving here
12:11z PSK31 & off

Equipment / Re: HF in the car?

« on: August 25, 2013, 2159 UTC »

I had a Sony XR-CA620X in my truck that I used off & on that was pretty good.  I didn't even bother with trying to minimize the noise from my toyota, but on the strong stations it had good reception.  I used to listen to RHC, VOG, RCI, etc.. with a great signal and also Alistair Cooke's  'Letter From America' on the BBC while driving into work in the mornings.  Antenna was using the stock whip.

Used to live near St. Augustine and would run the coastal highway for work and could hear an AM station from the Bahamas a couple of times around 1530khz IIRC driving home in the evenings.

I stopped listening to SW on it once I got my XM setup and the radio just died 2 weeks ago after 10yrs. of service.  Got mine from Jacky's which was an online Saudi Arabian outfit, but they've been gone for some time.

Also caught some this as JF mentioned - I couldn't make out the YL robo, but could hear the tones, "shave and a haircut" and finally music at 01:12z.  Signal here was weak, barely above the noise with pesq. QRM as well.

00:56z-00:57z (two tones):

01:11z SSTV tx, but too weak to decode.
