0308z Heard "Rawhide" theme ...

0308z "You're listening to ____ radio" ears&brain could not make out ID ...

0313z Too much QRN and a fade to pull out ID again ... now playing steppenwolf "Born to be Wild" ...

0321z ID: ""You're listening to Mark n (?) Nut radio" ... enough signal and good enough SNR to pull out an ID this time.

0340z Pgm contines, some QRM on frequency now affecting SNR ...

0341z ID finally: "Bust a nut radio" - signal was up quite a bit and was able to pull it out ...

North American Shortwave Pirate / 6925u Wolverine Radio 0420z 9-19-2010

« on: September 19, 2010, 0421 UTC »

Just (seemed to) came (come) up moments ago ...

Propagation must be weird tonight - Wolverine is normally quite strong form the outset ...

As a matter of fact, the QRN (lightning static) is not bad this evening, and haven't one 'sweeper' or OTH/Auroral RADAR either ...

Just for the record, there are T-storms across the central part of the country, yet, they aren't producing the usual signal-decimating QRN ... is propagation that bad? Maybe ...
