Turtlehead Radio - 6925 USB - 0300+ UTC - 04/07/2013
« on: April 07, 2013, 0356 UTC »
Started out very weak here, but slowly building.  Clear ID and email @ 0350z, then into 'Someday' by Sugar Ray. Then more ID's @ 0355z. Mostly S4 signal but occasional short peaks to S7.  Off or faded @ 0357z.
Still hearing occasional audio @ 0400z but very weak now.

Update:  fade back up for multiple ID's and shoutout to me @ 0403Z .... Thanks!!

then Tom Petty tunes
more shoutouts out 0412z to KE5WRT, Osborne White, and myself.

Please QSL!!

0402Z, Hearing THR here in W. Texas at about S4 and sometimes S5 but I am receiving deep fades at times. I just heard a Turtlehead Radio ID. Liking the music tonight.
0404Z, Tom Petty - You Got Lucky.
0407Z, several THR IDs. Now playing another Tom Petty song, Learning To Fly. I have them at S6 now.
0413Z, lost them for a bit. Several IDs and shout outs to me, REFMO, and Osborne. Thanks Colonel!
0414Z, playing The Cure - Let's Go To Bed.
0423Z, I lost them for a while. I believe they are sending SSTV right now but nothing is coming through on my end.
0426Z, live shout out to us 3 again and signed off. Thanks THR! Loved it.

Listened to the show but was distracted with other things so in and out of the room. I was able to catch this SSTV image at the end.
