Radio Echo One, 6925 AM "Firefly" theme, 8/3/13, 0310z

[radioreddz]

hearing a real faint signal on 6925AM mode  there playing music but it's a lot of fading with a lot of white noise

[hsmith77]

Heard Joe Cocker "You can leave you hat on " at 0306 .Poss Id 0310

[Zoidberg]

6925 AM, 8/3/13, 0310z: Theme song from "Firefly", ID or announcement I couldn't quite copy, calliope type music.
0316z: Snippet from "Give Peace a Chance", possible IDs with something about peace?  Awkward computer voice ID phrasing difficult to copy through noise and fades.
0318z: High pitched female vocals, reminiscent of Kath Bush style but don't recognize song.
0323z: Cartman singing "Kyle's mom is a bitch" song.
0324z: Fairly clear Radio Echo 1 ID.
0325z: "Dancing In The Street"
0328z: Radio Echo One IDs, woman singer with strings ("willow tree"?), don't recognize song, can't copy enough of lyrics to Google ID.
0331z: Radio Echo 1 ID, very punchy and more easily audible.
0332z: My best guess on song ID is Robbie Williams "Man For All Seasons", based on the few snatches of lyrics I can copy.
0335z: Radio Echo 1 ID, "Let's make some noise", Beach Boys "Wouldn't It Be Nice"
0345z: Off?  Hard to tell due to much heavier ute QRM on USB side.
0346z: Nope, still there, Radio Echo One ID, but almost buried under ute on USB side.  Sounds like "Eye of the Tiger" or other Survivor style '80s arena rock?
0352z: "You Can Leave Your Hat On", Randy Newman.

SINPO=32333.  Audible only via east coast web tuner, not a peep via home receiver.  Fair signal through usual heavy summer QRN.  Heavy intermittent QRM from some sort of ute just above 6925.  Signal slightly stronger after 0330z, but ute bursts on USB side stronger as well.

I think this was the first time I've heard Radio Echo One.

Mention of pirates for peace at 0317 then Echo 1 ID.  S-6
Looks like a replay starting at 0346... fading to under the noise now.
Thanks for the show Echo One!

0370 hey? Are you sure about that time?

[radioreddz]

yup positive on the time 03:70 I did make out Joe Cocker I got a chance to meet and spend some time with him he's a great guy picked him up in atlantic city NJ. and brought him to Columbia MD to do a show. now i'm hearin a females voice in song. on same frequency

[radioreddz]

actually it's Martha reaves dancing in the streets i'm hearing what is the id on this station

[Echo_One]

I somehow don't think 03:70 is a valid time

[myteaquinn]

At 0323 I heard several Radio Echo One ids, then buried in the noise again.

[Bowman1]

Rough copy, but I managed to hear Martha and the Vandellas Dancing in the Streets, followed by a station ID. SIO 121

I'd recognize the opening of Wouldn't it Be Nice anywhere!

Thanks for the show, but especially the Beach Boys. Nice!

SDR catch, 0300 sign on with an S7 signal. Tough copy with all the static, unfortunately.
