MAC Shortwave 6924.5 AM 2204 10-08-13
« on: October 08, 2013, 2204 UTC »
Someone in AM mode here, seems to be playing numerous Interval signals....just heard NHK. Decent signal at S8 in GA. 2204z

The audio level seems to have dropped, carrier is still good 2206.

Audio is back up playing music, decent audio at 2208Z.

Thanks for the ID....now playing a variety of other material. Being bothered by some peskies....2207.

Thanks for the show!!!

Here's a waterfall of MAC's signal, you can see how wide the audio is, as well as the barber pole effect:

Carrier level is decent, but audio level isn't strong.  Overall copy fair to weak, but still audible with some fading.

23:22z 'Hey Jude' - Beatles
23:28z 'Revolution' - "
23:36z 'Helter Skelter' - "
23:39z "...I really, really like this.."
23:44z "..ah hell...let's throw one more at ya..."
23:50z Off

Audio (23:18z-23:50z): http://archive.org/download/Httparchive.orgdetailsShortwavePirateRadioCont2/Mac6924_5Am2318z-2350z10-08-13.mp3

22:23 just tuned in to hear Hey Jude song by the Beatles  --  Super S9+ signal here!
23:31 Sounded like a skit with the Charlie Brown's parent's voices. Weird
23:34 Female - (young sounding) reporting they are going to "wrap up the show." into music
23:38 OP came on talked about an upcoming song / piece by Craig Dunlap.
23:44 tune by composer Jerry Goldsmith (think he did Psycho music)
23:46 more talk from male OP ending with song: "A Pirates Life For Me"
23:49 National Anthem music
23:50 Laughter - then off

Thanks for the Show MAC!
