Good reception, a bit of noise

2232 Unid music
2238 DJDW list song, QSY to 6945 due to interference
2241 DJDW back "6945 Happy Easter, not how I wanted to start".  Much better reception.

Fair reception
2135 Unid music - it was tough to get a handle on band/frequency
2152 Music continues
2155 OM shouting in unid language - Chinese or faux Chinese?
2201 YL talking over music but indecipherable - about robots
2202 Music stopped, YL relatively clear - much talk about robots and building them
2204 Strange music returns
2205 YL returns about robots - Computer YL sounds a lot like YL that could be heard on "Not Clever Name Radio" seeking requests
2207 "Music" returns
2211 OM talking over loud, moaning singing repeats several times - could be ID "Rave Star?"
2213 "Crave Star?"  YL talks about books on robots while loud phone rings
2214 More music
2217 OM with possible ID over music again, repeats "Wave Star?"

Shortwave Broadcast / BBC WS City/Gunners 21470 AM 1530 UTC 31 MAR 2024 - A24 frequency

Very good reception, English service.  Interesting, I don't recall English service ever starting at half past the hour like this transmission.  I'd guess it is to catch football kick off at 1530 utc.  Two of the top three squads (Manchester City/Arsenal) facing off at The Etihad.

1528 Suddenly on "Hey Brother" Avicii
1529 OM with pre-game coverage, gives line ups.  "Martinelli on bench.  These teams have met twice already.  Welcome to BBC World Service listeners as we come to you on 5Live."
1532 "Walker and Stones are not playing...."
1534 "Gabriel Jesus escaped without a yellow, should have been one."
1542 OM high pitched "Haaland in the area..."
1543 "Manchester City nil, Arsenal nil"
1546 "Ake just didn't get enough on header."
1555 "Ortega able to grasp onto ball and stays down."
1600 "We shall hear from Jurgen Klopp at half time."
1601 "Gabriel Jesus misses just wide to the right."
1604 "A tight match between two Premier League title contenders."
1618 Halftime, ID.

MDK2 - Thanks for correction on time postings, advanced age.

Thanks for the fine broadcast.  I'm dumbfounded on how you found a photo of me in the electronics club, nothing said fun on campus like a Saturday night of decryption.
