Radio True North 6945 then 6925 AM 0304 UTC August 10 , 2013

Tuned in when I got home & found RTN really booming in with Beatles tunes & a shout out to me at 5:03z. lots of thunder crashes (I haven't seen blue sky in days)  but RTN was on top of it with an S9+10 signal. great tunes

Thanks for the show RTN. I love the late night pirate thing

RTN still on at 9:00z but with deep fades now during "Urgent".  Up to S8 during peaks though.

Checked indoor tuner/antenna and outdoor with portable, steady carrier near 6925, just no audio punching through the usual summer QRN here in Texas.

0650z: Tried several web tuners, finally found one on left coast with good signal.  Great AM audio, no distortion.  Romeo Void "Girl In Trouble", RTN IDs.  Yello  "Oh, Yeah", plenty of thump.

SDR catch. 0304 sign on on 6945 AM, switched to 6925 at 0345 UTC. Pretty nice signal by this point, S7. Up to S8 by around 0554 with "Ballroom Blitz"

0610 SSTV, Scottie DX:


I think the shift in the image was a glitch on the transmitting side?  Here it is with some editing:



S9 by 0900 UTC with "Owner Of a Lonely Heart"
Back to S7/S8 by 0950 with an ID

ID and Scottie 1 SSTV at 1010 UTC then off:



Thanks for the show, RTN!

(This was all received with my new sloping folded dipole, I'll be posting about it on 30 Below in the near future.
