QSLs Received / WHJR-HEY JOE RADIO eQSL

« on: August 08, 2014, 0235 UTC »

Thank for the QSL Joe! Graphics are truly poignant and a great song that has been covered by hundreds of artists over the years. Looking forward to another "installment" of Hey Joe Radio somewheres down the road.  How about the Deep Purple version next time out?

Nice S9 signal marred by peskies on LSB and some band noise...best in USB
(Thanks for the Hey Joe versions! I came in late, did I miss Deep Purple's version?)

North American Shortwave Pirate / Re: Unid on 6.935U at 0340U

Thanks for the info Chris L! I hope they play some more of these programs in the future! Superbly produced and great entertainment. I checked out the North American Pirate Hall of Fame and read the article just now and I guess I missed out on some great pirate programming during my 24 years away from shortwave listening....I wonder if Alan Maxwell is still around?

Tuned into this after I had shut off my PC for the night! S9 at 0408 UTC with great audio. A story with background music about a Dr. Peters and a glowing polyhedron...stream of consciousness..."black vault of the cosmos...immortal...needed no nourishment" Basically a story about the Energy beings of pure force and one of them created life in their laboratory and it escaped into the galaxy..."Leprous with the disease of life"...the Force beings spun off the outer part of the galaxy to escape the Life, but imprisoned the one who created it in a polyhedron of frozen force for eternity. Of course, Dr. Peters (I think!) opened it up and it was free once again, but not before creating a temporary glitch on earth, blotting out the sun for awhile, etc. Man announcer mentioned "Voyage of the Illuminati" by Alan Maxwell at the end of the program and that correspondence was welcome to PO Box 69 Elcorn, NE 68022. Off at 0431 UTC.
(I was dead tired while listening to this, but couldn't go to sleep until I heard the whole thing! Fascinating work of the imagination..wonder if that PO Box is still working? Thanks to whoever broadcast this program!!!)

Been listening since 0309 UTC and signal is at threshold level with brief moments of music...can't make out a thing though. Maybe a Euro?
Solid carrier, but modulation seems low.
0324 UTC Signal coming up a bit now...I hear a mournful folk type ballad by man singer
0331 UTC I hear people talking and laughing now, but nada on the copy
(Can't stay awake any longer...maybe somebody can ID this? Another mystery!)
0338 UTC Signal up again...UNID folk tune with harmony vocals
Calling it quits...another acoustic folk tune at 0044 UTC with guitar and harmony vocals. Thanks for the show tonight whoever you are!

Thanks for the shoutout at 0023 UTC Frans! Been listening over the last half hour and signal had improved greatly....now at S7 and well above the noise floor here with some interesting techno dance tunes.

OFF at 0100ish UTC...Thanks for the entertainment tonight...always nice to hear Borderhunter here in the USA!

Too tired to post this last night.
Killer signal here at 0242 UTC tune in, "Rock Lobster" by the B-52's in progress and hit the sack at 0352 UTC during "The Chain" by Fleetwood Mac. Awesome S9+ clean, clear audio with occasional fades down to S5, but mostly well above the noise floor. Great tunes and a tip of the hat to the op! Wish I could have stayed awake...different musical format tonight! Nice to hear Green Grass & High Tides and that song by Nirvana that I never knew the name of ( thanks Rafman...you pretty much covered it all ) Hope to hear more of Generation Wild 100 here in the future....how about an email address for reports and comments?
