Recorder Catch on 6925.025 USB

Caught a song which is familiar but which I could not ID.  There was a low frequency het which leads me to believe that this was AM.  ID at the end "Adios amigos(?), Red Mercury Labs".

Good level, and thanks RML!

« on: August 02, 2012, 0033 UTC »

Been noting a weak carrier since about 2253.  Has been building slowly, but no audio yet at 0030.
OM tx / music at 0107
As noted in an overnight recording, this went off at 0336z 0435z. (I double checked my math)

Anyone noting this?

Recorder Catch initially, but I woke up and corrected the tuning at 0921...

0913 "Can't Find My Way Home", "In the Presence of the Lord"; still way off-tuned and not sure if this was BF
0921 OM ID: "You are listening to Eccentric Shortwave", bluesy song by OM with lyric "When I told you about Louise and what she did to
        please me..."
0929 OM ID with speed processed audio, Glenn Campbell - "Wichita Lineman"  --  Jimmy Webb wrote some amazingly beautiful songs, and
        this is one of his finest;  Thanks!
0932 Unid song with lyric "Not one more word tonight"
0935 OM ID as at 0921, Beatles - "Hey Jude"
0939 Two unid songs, a doo-wop and a blue-eyed soul
0946 ID and addy as eccentricsw@yahoo.com
0946 Song or soundtrack I could not ID and I hope someone can.  Had monotonic lyrics "The neighbor's dog will be up all night...It's
        getting hard to pay the bills...Mary's trying to get me to paint the house...Mary's always got a headache"
0948 Zappa/Beefheart - "Muffin Man"
0954 YL ID and off

Pretty good signal here, and a very interesting show.

Thanks Eccentric SW!

Recorder Catch

0512 XM-like noises
0516 The noise changed to the slowed-down bird call noise
0518 Another variant, possibly a bird call slowed to different rate(s)?
0519 The classic slowed-down bird call noise
0537 stopped

Recording is available if you have nothing better to do.  Unless there is some startling change in the noises, no further reports on this from me.
