Undercover Radio - 6930u and 6925u 0226z Aug 16, 2013
« on: August 17, 2013, 0232 UTC »
Big signal in NH, S9+10 with S9+20 peaks

0233z Barefoot Jerry - Watchin' TV
0235z Barefoot Jerry - Funny Looking Eyes
0239z Off without ID

0240z Back, various clips, mention of Dr. Benway so I'm assuming this is Undercover Radio
0247z WWV all the time, all the time
0249z Random dead-air breaks between the various clips
0250z "We have sort of a problem here"

0257z Moved to 6925u (after WPOD sign-off), still sounding great S9+20 peaks

0257z The Doctor spaces out, has visions of all
0303z Undercover Radio ID
0305z Clip of reading of William S. Burroughs "The Unworthy Vessel" (mentions Dr. Benway)
0308z The Doctor has an alien encounter
0315z The Doctor ventures to the Solomon Islands for some reef diving (and gets brought back from the dead)
0327z Undercover Radio ID, undercoverradio@gmail.com - "Broadcasting from the middle of nowhere"
0328z Off with a tribute to bacon  :)

Thanks for the show, still peaking S9+20 at the end

First noted on 6925u briefly, then popped up on 6930u about 0228z with a great sounding signal and music.  No ID as of yet.  S9+10  Off at 0239z with "Don't let them see us..." (Undercover Radio?)

0317z Update: Signal perfectly clear on an Italian remote receiver that I'm listening to right now - nice job!  Also audible on the Czech Republic remote, but weak.

Likewise here - HUGE signal - one of the strongest pirate signals I've ever had here.  Likewise S9+20 peaks.

Very clean audio.  Nice music thus far.

Thanks.  I'm still listening here, but he's just barely breaking the static.  I'll keep my ear holes open, maybe reception will clear up.

OP @ 0300 possible ID?

Mega +30 signal here with Benway monologue at 0309 UTC. "I've told a lot of far out stories... a lot of strange things have happened to me." Signal is incredible. Mention of Merlin drop earlier in the program.

Carrier tuneup at 0220 on 6925
Heard on 6925 USB at 0222 with some instrumental music, then off at 0224
Came back on 6930 USB at 0228.
Very strong signal, s9+20, so it blasted the pescadores at 6933 LSB.

Thanks for the show, Dr Benway!
