0241Z ID- Outhouse Radio. 6-9-2-5

0255Z Elton John singing "Rocket Man". Signal now S7-S9. It has improved.

0257Z Went off the air after the last song.

Got him in Minneapolis, MN varying S2-S5 (35223) with a fair amount of static at 0155Z.

Missed the ID. Playing music.

I picked it up sometime after 10:30 into the audio recording.  The signal in this recording is stronger than what I heard.

Glad to know WWV was in there and I wasn't imagining it.

FUN!

Signal into Minneapolis, MN to a Yaesu FT-847 w/100' longwire at 15' and was about 35333. Aside from fading, it sounded pretty good, seemed to be better than the usual USB signals and the music wasn't as annoying. Using a wider filter?

But… didn't have my recorder hooked up. Even thought about doing that a couple of hours ago.  

From now on, it stays hooked up. Period. I know better. I've known better for many years. Ugh.

North American Shortwave Pirate / Unid on 6930 USB

Found an unknown pirate on 6930 USB at 0303Z (18-AUG-2010)

Played "Bad Time to Be In Love" by Grand Funk Railroad.
Followed by "Catch Us If You Can" by the Dave Clark Five. Didn't play the whole song.
Then on to some other stuff.

Rebroadcast some WWV?? Hard to tell as the signal has faded quite a bit.

Now back to music and signal improving a little.

Signal is mediocre to Minnesota.
