Very weak here, but able to ID "Just Another Brick In the Wall"-Pink Floyd at 1407 UTC tune in. Was able to hear bits and pieces of man announcer and music popping up over the noise floor, but otherwise poor copy. Thanks for the test though Trans Europe!

Rising above the noise here at 0020 UTC with some thump, thump techno music....I think there was an XLR8 ID at 0022 UTC. Tough copy tonight, but mostly above the high noise and static levels.

« on: October 20, 2014, 0147 UTC »

Started off with really bad reception...signal buried in the noise and lots of pesky QRM on LSB. I tuned away, and when I came back at 0120 UTC, I was getting this killer S9+ signal with perfect wideband audio. Nice to hear the show in this quality after straining through the noise on 1720 earlier
Thanks Dr. Benway....I'll be listening as I fall asleep...ahhh, Edgar Winters classic...Frankenstein
EDIT:As I was falling asleep last night, the signal took a nosedive at 0153 UTC

« on: October 20, 2014, 0016 UTC »

Just tuned in at 0010 UTC with signal in and out of the noise. It's picked up a bit since and I hear Dr. Benway telling a story about being immortal...not being able to move, but being able to see and hear. Biomechanical legs and arms...
0016 UTC "The Monster Mash"
0018 UTC Ambient music, then ID and email address. Also gave out old mail drop addy!
0039 UTC  ID ... 2005 Halloween Special ... undercoverradio@mail.com (I guess that address won't work anymore either!) Followed by "Frankenstein"-Edgar Winters Group
0049 UTC Signal back up again after a hiatus in the noise! Benway talking about his yard being a total disaster...some kind of Halloween story, but signal keeps dipping into the noise
Bacterial infection...punctured the arteries...doctors puzzled...Hmmm
0001 UTC I went to check on WRR at 0059 UTC and when I returned Dr Benway was off.
(Thanks for the Halloween show tonight! I was away from shortwave when you originally aired the program...wish reception had been a little better.)

EDIT:The mail.com address works!
