Original 106 Relay 6925.11 AM 0055 UTC 26 JAN 2023
« on: January 26, 2023, 0056 UTC »
Audible on east coast SDRs. Audio is slightly distorted on peaks, i.e., over-driven slightly.

0055 - C&W
0100 - Quick change to news with UK accented announcer. (Sky News)
0102 - "All the music you love. Original 106".
0117 - Off when I checked back.

I don't STRETCH the truth.

Thanks for the shout-out, Yank! But I only played second cowbell on that one, following my stint on triangle with Canned Heat.

There just isn't enough electric triangle in today's music. The kids these days don't know what they are missing.

The proto-psychedelic band, The 13th Floor Elevators had an electric jug player. The jug had an electret microphone on the outside and was tuned by the amount of pot they stuffed in it. When is the last time you heard an electric jug?
