Excellent reception

I believe this is WHRI based on the frequency and their history of broadcasting the 500.  Could not find it on their website though.

1740z Conor Daly just went into wall while losing speed, into commercials.  Return with "This is the Verizon Indy Series"
1800z Chevy commercial, "Stay tuned for the greatest spectacle in racing"
1807z "Alonso's about ten car lengths back in second"
1826z WHR ID

It's supposed to be, out of Boston. But Chris posted he has only a carrier.  I'm far closer and receiving nothing here.  It is also on a European Pirate on both 9620 and 9690.

Excellent reception.....on the '36 Zenith Console 8S154, sounds like a concert hall

2300z Requiem for Radio....An Homage to the Sackville Towers.  In a twist, it started with WBCQ & Shortwaveservice trying to contact RCI under the music, don't recall that the last two nights..  A significant amount of choral singing tonight.

Huh? / God Bless you please, Jim Bunning

« on: May 27, 2017, 1936 UTC »

Prior to Jim Bunning being a US Representative and Senator (and politics aside), he etched his name into my heart and baseball into my soul.  On Father's Day (June 21) 1964, the visiting Philadelphia Phillies tabbed two outstanding hurlers to start vs. Casey Stengel's hapless New York Mets for the doubleheader - Jim Bunning and first time starter Rick Wise.  Two month old Shea Stadium, and its accompanying World's Fair, was a mere two miles from my brick two family hard along the Long Island Expressway in Elmhurst, Queens.  In the second game, Rick Wise recorded his first major win.  In the first game, which was my first MLB game in attendance, Bunning faced 27 Mets and set 27 Mets down.  So, my first game was a perfect game, the first perfect game in the National League in the modern era (20th century).  Something like that stays with you for a lifetime.

1700z "Twenty five minutes in here, Arsenal 1 Chelsea nil"
1703z Near goal by Arsenal
