Thanks for all the music, Radio Illuminati!

0247 UTC: Music faded in the last few minutes; audible but just short of readable out here while listening in LSB mode.

753
Music as of 0214 UTC, audible just above the noise floor out here but slowly gaining strength in the past few minutes.

Over at K9VD, the SDR located a few miles to the southeast of me, the music's now booming in at times.

0223 UTC: After ethereal music, SSTV transmission of a globe image (my decode couldn't make out the writing with it), then back to mellow ethereal music. Over-the-horizon radar noise interfering at times.
0227 UTC: "Icarus" by Ivan Torrent feat. Julie Elven.
0232 UTC: "And the Sky Shall Unfold" by Edgar Hopp.
0234 UTC: "The Sound of Fear" by Pharaoh Music.

Thanks for the cool music!

General Radio Discussion / Re: Radio during and post pandemic

Just before the restrictions on going to work came in effect here outside of Seattle, the little nonprofit community radio station I'm on the board of (KSER 90.7 FM) set up a remote-control online system so that the station manager and one other staff member could check in on programming and even make changes from their homes.

This was because the main on-air talent who did all this during the daytime fell ill a couple months ago. As it turns out, it was a fortuitous development. Because now, to minimize risk, the dozens of station volunteers are locked out of the studio and the remote-control system is being used to run the station 24/7. It's a little trickier than the normal operation would be, but it's working for now.

Just above the noise floor here, when tuned in using USB mode, as of 0014 UTC.

Tuned in via NA5B SDR in D.C. to hear it better, and hearing Oingo Boingo's "Nothing to Fear" as of 0016 UTC, with FDR's "The only thing we have to fear ..." quote being played over it.

0020 UTC: News soundbite about coronavirus, some other audio ... then a few moments of silence (I hear the peskies in the background, though) before more seemingly random audio into the song "Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)" by Kenny Rogers.
0023 UTC: "Insane (Club Mix)" by Yer Man.
0027 UTC: "Diversion" by Ty Segall, overlaid by Trump and other soundbites.
0030 UTC: "GOAT" by The Cult. Still listening via NA5B; the signal out here seems to have sunk back into the noise.
0034 UTC: "Cop and Go" by The Dead Weather.
0038 UTC: Snippet of "Confessions of an Embittered Soul" by Church of Misery into "Torn Between Suicide & Breakfast" by Hank Williams III, then into random bits of audio and music again.
0040 UTC: Off?

It was a trip, Insane Radio!

I'm pretty sure I've heard this one from Woodburn, Oregon, before, but I never stuck around long enough to hear an ID until last night. This time, I heard a clear "La Pantera" ID in a female voice in between the regional Mexican songs. This little 200-watt signal was blowing away CJGX out of Saskatchewan and dominating KFIG, a big 50 kW ESPN affiliate down in Fresno. Distance from me is 200 miles.

758
Music's audible as of 0121 UTC out here in Washington state. It seems to be fading up slowly the past few minutes.

After about 10 minutes of the signal fading to an inaudible level, I can hear the music again as of 0153 UTC. Not readable, but it's there.

759
Nothing really audible out here near Seattle. Hearing a Pogues song via NA5B SDR in Washington, D.C., as of 0025 UTC.

0028 UTC: Patrick chatting as "Mmmm Yeah" by Austin Mahone cranks up.
0031 UTC: Patrick wishing a St. Patrick's Day, talking about maybe making station T-shirts and then started playing a song, which abruptly stopped. Then played "Whiskey in the Jar" by The Dubliners.
0035 UTC: Hearing just a wisp of a signal now and then out here on my own radio. Still listening via D.C. in the meantime.
0035 UTC: "Whiskey in the Jar" by The Killdares with a long instrumental intro. The signal cut out for a second during the song.
0042 UTC: Off suddenly.

760
The signal's making it way out west here, as the current contemporary jazz tune is slowly fading up and more consistently cutting through the noise as of 0116 UTC.

761
Can't hear anything definitive through the noise out here, but it's good at 2212 UTC via the NA5B SDR in Washington, D.C., with "They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha-Haaa" by Napoleon XIV.

ID at 2215 UTC: "This is Radio Corona" said by OM, followed by coronavirus skit soundbite. That was followed by Morse code, and off at 2216 UTC.

When I tuned in this one broadcasting from Tijuana, I heard a woman speaking Spanish, followed by trance-style electronica. That was followed by other music -- including a slow tropical jazz-style tune -- distinctly different than the regional Mexican music on Wyoming’s KRND, which was fading up and mixing at times with XEUT. The music matched the UABC Radio online stream when I checked to compare.

The one was still audible when I checked back at 0619 UTC, playing mellow ethereal music. This station is listed as only 1,000 watts at night; distance from me is 1,101 miles.

763
As of 0139 UTC, we're still well before local sunset out here near Seattle, but I've got the signal with an Irish-sounding song staying just above the noise here.

764
Maybe a whisper of a signal out West here when I tuned in at 2250 UTC. Instead, I hopped on the NA5B SDR near Washington, D.C., and found a good signal with the Lana Del Rey cover of Sublime's "Summertime."

765
0050 UTC: "When Irish Eyes are Smiling" coming in fair, with some noise, at the Burke, Virginia, SDR. No real sign of it on my radio out here northeast of Seattle.

0057 UTC: After a crooner-style song I didn't catch, then a very Irish-sounding accordian song, "I'll Take You Home Again, Kathleen" by Brian Coll.
0104 UTC: After a female singer's song, Patrick on the mic chatting about Ireland and trans-Atlantic propagation.
0107 UTC: "The Old Rustic Bridge" by Big Tim.
0110 UTC: "Curragh of Kildare" by The Freemen. Hearing some static crashes on the Burke, Va., SDR, but the signal's nice. Still no sign of it out West here.
0113 UTC: "Golden Jubilee" by The Flying Column and then "Wild Irish Rose" at 0116 UTC.
0118 UTC: "A Mother's Love's a Blessing" by Bridie Gallagher.
0121 UTC: "Dublin in the Rare Oul' Times" by Roly Daniels.
0125 UTC: "Ducks of Magheralin" by the Glen Folk Four.
0129 UTC: "Mountains of Mourne"/"Phil the Fluter's Ball"/"Come Back Paddy Reilly" by Leo McCaffrey.
0131 UTC: Patrick mentioning this is the St. Patrick's Day show and talking about his "saintly" qualities (or lack thereof), then chatting about coronavirus, followed by "Peacemaker" by Maire Brennan.
