At first I thought this was Man Cave Radio, but it turned out to be Radio True North. They were parallel on 6950 for a while, but they seem to have moved down to 6925 exclusively now.

I've heard Broken Wings by Mr. Mister, Some Like it Hot by Power Station, and now it's Madonna.

Decent reception considering how bad the band has been the last few nights. SIO 322

I presume it's them judgeing by the great audio. Got Led Zep "Whole Lotta Love" on right now. True S-9 signal with minor thunderstorm crashes.
Please QSL to MaplRadio@gmail.com

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

RTN here S = 8 or 9 with static crashes  but without appreciable fading, playin' "I Never Wanna Ride The Bus" (I think) by Queen, followed by "Run Through The Jungle" by CCR, which seemed truncated (perhaps the 45 rpm version vs. the LP one?) and  "Bad Moon Rising" which seems to have another station's signal sliding under it?  Anyhow, nice signal, great audio, etc. in the W. Coast flatlands and thank you RTN from

PS:  Mrs. White sez to say "hiya!"

EDIT:  0538 RTN QSY'ing to 6940 (howzat fer tecnical tawk?)

Recorder Catches on 6925USB tonight were disappointing for the most part with respect to RTN, but it was best heard @0535-0537z with the end of a dance track, ID, and ment moving to 6940.

Thanks!
