03:55 I also hear the show- barely above noise level S1-2  Same carrier strength and modulation as RTN
04:05 Sounded like ID
04:06 into music - can't ID though   ...QRN heavy here
04:47 Clear ID's for both RR & RTN

Thanks for the Show!

Yep, signal was fading on Radio Ronin earlier but is coming in 20-over at my QTH here in coastal ranges of NW Oregon.
Also noticed the odd tuning - 6924.650Khz  - also, signal appears to be over-deviating about 1.5Khz on the upper side.

I posted it on a parallel(sp?) thread; killer signal into north Canada. Steady S-9 signal now with QRN and minor QSB.

Next weeks contest: guess how many Volkswagons can fit in Joy Behars mouth. I pick five.

Very weak and not identifiable. RRS is usually stronger. This signal is consistent with RTN.

I have 'em here on W. Coast at 10 db over S = 9, moderate QSB, noise floor ca. S = 7, same "off frequency" frequency that Radio True North was using an hour & a half or so ago, actually darned good audio despite rolling QSB, now finishing the show after "The End" with  salute to our armed forces.

0450 - Radio True North id confirming relay of Radio Ronin, operator just had something to eat, now into something that sounds like a parody of some sort of (c)rap music ("rap music" being an oxymoron in my book, sorta like "honest politician" etc.) but...TNX for the Radio Ronin Shortwave relay!  

0453 - More of that (c)rap stuff, which I really honestly thought was gonna be a flash in the pan when I first heard it back in 1985!  I guess I underestimated badly how much worse it (popular music trends) could get, naively thinking that after "disco," things could only improve!

*** Sorry for the opinionated BS, but....***

0457 - Cool AM RTN ID, and then into something that begins with "ready steady go" repeated several times with spacy guitar ramblings as accompaniment, at least it isn't rap!   Still S = 9 + 10 db on the TS-850

***THANK YOU to RTN for the Ronin Relay and your show too! ***

SDR catch, noted at 0231z sign on with some weak audio.
Better by 0330z.
Completely buried by PSK UTE at 0354z.
UTE started to fade out around 0500z, and seemed to be gone by 0517z
Off at 0532z.

Yes it was indeed me relaying Radio Ronan, but it was not a sympathy show.  It came from Ronan himself.  I will continue to Relay any and all shows he produces.  Im honored to be able to do this.  Perhaps it was his mood that was reflected.  If I was in his shoes I would be feeling the same.  Its sad that all the pirate ops can not get along together.  We should be looking at the guys in EU.  They set a wonderful example of the way it should be.  That is supporting each other and not tearing each other down.
