Radio Franz Schubert 6925 USB 0233 UTC 2 APR 2023
« on: April 02, 2023, 0233 UTC »
0233 UTC Somebody whistling the "Andy Griffith Show" theme song, then the actual theme.
0235 UTC OM came on with some DJ chat
0246 UTC "Blue Suede Shubert" followed by an unid symphony composition. Superb audio!
0321 UTC OM with ID "This is Radio Franz Schubert" and OFF

Now that was really cool! Thanks RFS!
Here's my recording of the show from 0234-0321 UTC:

0235 about SIO 111, not easy to make out but definitely music
0258 improved signal, recognizing Schubert's "unfinished" symphony #8 (first movement), seems like signal is closer to 6924.99. QRM from peskie at 6930 LSB
0321 OM voice following Schubert, "thank you for joining us", Radio Franz Schubert given as station ID

"Andy Griffith" theme (started whistled), some maniacal laughter, came back a moment later "I got carried away.  Goodbye."

0241 bits of whistled "Double the trouble" - Double R.E.I., "Twisted Nerve" - Bernard Herrmann, pause. 0245 "Blue Suede Schubert" - The Rutles cut short and "Rosamunde: Overature"Philamonica Slavonica & Alberto Lizzio, Op. "That was Franz Shubert" and talks briefly into Shubert's Symphony No. 8 in B minor by the Image Orchestra.  Someone talked over / under the music around 0306.  At the end of the symphony, Op. identified the music, gave an ID, "Thank you for joining us tonight. (You might) listen tomorrow", off.


S5 - 6 here.

It's nearly 11 p.m. in the region where Andy grew up. Otis has been at Rafe Hollister's place all evening watching basketball and getting liquored up. His homing cow needs the whistling and singing to get them to the courthouse jail before all the beds get booked up by the Darling's and Ernest T. Bass. Otis doesn't share a cell and there are only two. The Darling's can sleep on the truck. Ernest T. is used sleeping rough and can share the back lot with Otis's cow. The TNT eating goat moved on a long time ago, so the cow and Ernest T. should be safe.

The Darlings , aka, the Dillard's , do that classical stuff. My God, they've been on the Opry!

Good reception into Masset, BC at 03:12 with QRM from Spanish fishermen? on 6930 LSB.  Also some OTH radar looking pulses over about 100 kHz.
03:21:  ID'd but I couldn't quite make it out. OK, thanks for the ID.  I hear it now.  Radio Franz Schubert.   Indicated he was signing off, which he did a second or two later.  ..Walt

The SS guys seem to be moving a bit w/ the change in time/season. They were on 6925 lsb last night. In late winter they were down around 6900. The OTH stuff varies on where you're at in regards to where it's coming from. But you know that, I remember your logs in the ACE dealing with that Marconi guy way back when.

Thanks, Pigmeat.  The 6900 guys are still there, and every night on the Pacific coast.  Real nuisances.  The 6930 LSB fishermen are new to me.  73,  Walt
