SINPO 44344 on an SDR in Norway at 2031 UTC.
I have the frequency as 6275.62 KHz.
Accordian/oom-pah-pah/schlager-type music with German lyrics.

2033 - ID in English but missed the name, damn it.

I have a recording of the ID but trying to decode the name: "On shortwave, you are listening to Radio _______".
Here is a link to a recording of the ID. If anyone can decipher, please speak up:  https://voca.ro/3JN7K3SBuXu

Huh? / Re: U.S. Border Officials Seek to Evict Defecating Vultures From Texas Radio Tower

« on: March 07, 2020, 2015 UTC »

I saw the Defecating Vultures at a punk club in Pasadena, CA, back in the 80s. They sounded like crap.

I'm pinning a lot of hope on the scientifically proven fact that if you made at least one trip into the bathroom of a punk club and lived to talk about it then you have immunity to COVID-19.

Huh? / Re: Oregon Engineer Makes History With New Traffic Light Timing Formula

« on: March 06, 2020, 2000 UTC »

They could use some revision to the light timing formula in California. I've never seen such ridiculously short yellow lights anywhere else in the world.
