« on: October 19, 2013, 2207 UTC »

Its been coming & going over the past few months. Today is different...

At 2201Z and ID! Yes an ID!    "WRIT HD-2 Milwaukee"  

Well its something, I guess. Probably streaming from WRIT's site and pumping it out on 1690 here. So, for now its still UNID.

Heard the carrier on 23180 at 2118Z.

It went away at 2119Z, but looked like it kinda pathetically died instead of cleanly off. Interestingly, a chirp sounder did its thing shortly after and could see it on the waterfall from 23090 and it stopped at 23180 (waterfall went up to 23210, so I have no idea if it really ended at 23180 or there's just a large gap).

Nothing heard on any of the other listed freqs 2119-2123Z.

2125Z carrier on 24450. Only S5 and has deep fades.
2128Z 24450 carrier faded out.
2135Z carrier on 26875
2142Z 26875 carrier faded out.

0315Z 35443 S9 Live Op + ID. "6935 upper sideband, definitely the manliest of modes."
0315Z 45444 S9 The Cars "It's All I Can Do"
0319Z 45444 S9 Previous song broke up? Then into the next one -
0319Z 45444 S9 Johnny Cash "I Walk The Line"
0322Z 45444 S9 Live Op. Putting out 115W. Something is huge, HUGE! (I missed what it was... sorry). Unusually strong tonight. "Colder than a witch's t*t in a brass bra." Location is unknown as they're floating about the high seas. The something that was huge is a pair of tube. They're Huge! They're new old stock and if he fires 'em up it'll be an EMP. And the two tubes would make a great QSL picture. Would like to know what they are as there are no numbers on them. The copper is no even oxidized and the anodes are massive. Can't crank up the power as the Yoshi doesn't like it. Has pondered over it over many, many Samuel Adams or Spike's brew, but Yoshi xmtr is special. No heater tonight and don't want any fire in the wires.
0332Z 45444 S9 Ozzy Osbourne "Over The Mountain"
0337Z 45444 S9 Tears For Fears "Head Over Heals"
0342Z 35443 S7 Live Op. Shoutout to Bender, who only has an S1 signal. Shatner talk. The Captain can get it done.
0347Z 15441 S4 David Bowie "Fame"   (signal dropping)
0356Z 15441 S4 Live Op. Signal as dropped considerably. Can tell its RML talking, but not really what is being said. Noise is S5.
0358Z 15441 S- Music now, but unable to ID the song. Guess that's it for MN tonight. S9 to nothin'.  
0402Z 15331 S- RML talking. Unable to discern anything.
0405Z Faded out now... pity.

0218Z 25432 S6 Live Op. ID + email. Spike in his spare time has created a concoction he calls "Oktoberfest." He's created a beer that is second to none. It is in a league all of its own. It is the Octoberest Oktobest to die for.

0238Z 25432 S6 Live Op. More history. In 1781 Gen Washington takes Yorktown. They're running about 12 knots, but going in circles. Spike sez that carbonation is a magical thing. Soda has forced carbonation. Spike's absolutely exceptional Oktoberfest has natural carbonation.
