2344 hearing it about SIO 233.
2355 spoken word over guitar, "have you ever had the gumbo in New Orleans" was one of the lines I think
2357 "I drink this whiskey to this flag of the United States of America" into solo guitar rendition (country music style) of the Star Spangled Banner.
Possibly an electric fiddle.
2359 off?

Thanks for the show!

2323 Mellow rock music audible. SIO 222/333 with fades.
2331 signal has weakened, only getting occasional peak above the noise floor now. Dealing with QRM which I think is atmospheric and static which I think is locally sourced.
2338 Faded away

Thanks for the show!

2305 Chuck Berry I believe? Need to fine tune. SIO 121-222.
2307 not hearing anything under the static anymore.

Thanks for the show!

It's the only thing listed on some (not all) of the available online SW schedules for this time, but I couldn't get a positive ID when an announcer came on at 1101z thanks to signal degradation. Still listening at the moment but it's getting steadily weaker. (Edit: suddenly off in mid-song at 1116z.)

« on: October 17, 2016, 0145 UTC »

0140 Big band music, faint signal about 222. Guessing Radio Zed.
0147 "Call Me Irresponsible" Benny Goodman (per shazam)
0149 Radio Zed ID
0150 "Hello Dolly" Benny Goodman (per Shazam)
0156 Pink Panther theme as done by Benny Goodman
0159 things are noisy now, hard to shazam the unfamiliar tunes. Probably a 212 now.
0202 starting to get a lot of QRM from what I believe is radar.
0205 signal coming up again, 322/323
0207 off? Didn't hear the sign off message Zed usually transmits, but it's 0210 as I type and no music heard in three minutes.

Thanks for the show!

Heard again at the same time (1500) and frequency (16338) today 16 Oct. 2016. Strong signal again. Null message sent.

It's Curt Rowlett, not Rowland, a.k.a. Strange Beacons.

Sorry! Corrected.

1313 Hearing music, fading in and out. "Roundabout."
1321 possible ID but too faint to catch. New song, not yet able to make much of it out
1328 still listening to music at threshold level.
1331 possible Moonlight Radio ID into OM speaking, still too low to understand

Thanks for the show!

1237 Tuning in to OM speaking about "borders of the mind," into solo cello music.
1242 music now sounds prog rock with Eastern melodies, cello featured, but also guitar and vocals coming it at 1244.
1247 signal just came up nicely to 333 quality. It had been 232 mostly.
1253 North Woods Radio ID and email, CW and off.

Thanks for the early Sunday show!

Listening in since about 0310. Music mostly below the noise floor, but occasional peaks that would make the signal SIO 333 if they were sustained.

Thanks for the show!

Before 0258, random boops and beeps that became weird melody
0258 Lenny Kravitz "American Woman"
0303 Lenny Kravitz "I Wanna Get Away" "Fly"
0307 rising sound like car stuck in gear

Signal distorted, about 222.

Thanks for the show

0245 Listening for a few minutes, finally able to identify track as Butthole Surfer's classic cover of "American Woman"

signal strength 2-3
Interference: 3
overall: 3
