A peculiar (but entertaining) song which was kind of a carny-vaudeville-rap hybrid sort of thing.

About S5 here, and thanks!

Tuned in to just a few seconds of poss King Crimson - Hall Court of the Crimson King ?  Then off

Just listened to the audio (3 seconds) and I don't think that was the song.  

Strong here.

Thanks RGI and thanks for the ID Chris!

Chad presumed the one here with Congolese-flavored rumba and soukous with occasional OM announcements in lang/FF.  Very nice on peaks, fair in general, and has been running an overnight sked lately, and has been in the clear till RHC 0100 s/on.

Other / Great Wireless Network Propagation Today

« on: September 17, 2013, 2045 UTC »

When I come home from work, I sit on the patio and log on to my wireless network to do my posts and watch jDog while she torments the backyard wildlife.  Normally I only see one or two nets in addition to my own, but today I am seeing eight others, so conditions must be good.

No doubt this is due to the Propagation rain dance show aired by Radio Free Whatever last night.

Best catch was fccdg.  After a quick google, this turned out to be First Christian Church of Downers Grove, not the other guys (whew!), and was 1/2 of a block away.

PLS QSL!

Very weak AM noted here the last several afternoons around this time.  Generally at the floor here, but a brief peak here with YL talk, poss SS?

Strongly suspect a SWBC (spur?), but not enough audio here to ID it.
