Reception is a little worse than last night. It showed up on the SSTV, tonight looks more mushy. 

3040utc Some eccentric punk stuff going on

Thanks XLR8, a nice Friday night this is.

Coming in fair, I copy the songs well. Oldies.
Noise is S4-5, Signal is S6.
I dont know if its the music type, or the compression, I copy it better than xlr8 last night.

Dear XLR8,
Coming in pretty fair.

You're fightning the lightning static well.  And you've got bass in the face. It makes good audio. Noise is S4-6, and your signal is S5-7.  Coming in pretty strong, I have my beverage hooked up again.
0337utc, Fatboy Slim, We've come a long long way together. I haven't heard this in a while, I just thought of Fatboy Slim earlier this week too! Its a sign...

Edit: I'm pretty sure this is the strongest I've heard XLR8 too, JoeFLIPS.

I heared California Dreamin pretty good. Its nice because I'm in California! Thanks.
Reception is above the noise floor a tad. Better than the usual carrier wave of which I can never hear much.

0413utc, Sounds like punk?  Female's voice a few minutes ago.

Thank you anyway!

Edit, I pushed the attenuator button on my sdr and it made things better. Less lightning.
I also messed with my equalizer. I set it like Yamaha's natural sound gimmick for low levels.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Chamberpot Radio 6925 USB, 0413utc July 28th, 2015

« on: July 28, 2015, 0414 UTC »

I've got some USB music, blues.
0413utc, an ID, Sounded like Chamberpot Radio

I'll have to listen some more to be sure

Edit: Reviewing SDR recording, at 0413utc I hear "Chamberpot Radio and I'm your host, Buster Hymen."

Thanks Buster! If the lightning weren't there, reception would have been pretty good.  Glad to hear you again, and on a Monday night nonetheless.

QSLs Received / Re: X-FM Postal QSL

Same QSL and sticker here! It cheered me up.
 I was bummed out because I just learned from the photo store they don't print photos from color film using the old ways. (they scan the film in and then print it with a computer. ) But then I got this old fashioned QSL in the actual mail box and it has a soul. And it made me feel warm and fuzzy. Thanks Redhat!

0126, quiet conditions S4 level, old music.  It goes well with what I was cleaning this afternoon: something from the 1930s. But now there's some newer music.

Recording catch:

0346utc  S5 signal, very nice audio. There's less static tonight therefore the filter is open at 16kHz wide, 8kHz either side of 6960.
Hey Mr. Postman
0407 ID with british ladie's voice
Switch to 6955am
0441 Techno with a lot of vocals
0503 Reggae pirate song

Thanks RTN for keeping the flame alive on the West Coast during this summer time of long daylight hours.

Yep, RTN is playing vinyl live.

0247utc
Jive music
S4 in fairly quiet conditions, the sun hasn't set yet and not getting a lot of static yet.

Yup, nice quality music for USB! Thanks for getting drunk on this Tuesday night!
Can you play something from Led Zepplin?

edit: Thanks, I recorded the Drunken DJ mentioning my name and Gallow's Pole song by Led Zepplin

Reviewing my SDR recording:

0333utc I liked this version of Whiskey in the Jar
0354utc Muppet Show theme song!
0424utc Very weak, must have gone long

My reception of the Noble Dogs SSTV is the same as Token's. The Fat Shooter Kid is skewed on the top half.

There are Virtual Audio Cables out there, but you dont need that if you follow these directions from Token:
