UNID 6925U, 0306Z-, 10/27/13
« on: October 27, 2013, 0316 UTC »
Just caught a brief transmission.  Two SSTV pictures which I can't make out anything at all in for all the noise, then a few lines from Rush "Driven", then a few bars of a tune I didn't know, then off.

Now back on as I'm typing this at 0315Z, much stronger (S9+), don't know the song.

Both SSTV images are different beach scenes, with the ID Rattlesnake Radio across the bottom.  However, the music is a different signal level here than the SSTV was, a good bit different.  The music is weaker.  So not sure they are the same source.

I agree with Token, signal level for SSTV much different than the music (hopefully the DJ will ID and resolve this)

SSTV #2

Just had a Collective Soul song a few minutes ago, then dead air, now Smoke On The Water.  Still a great clear S9 signal here!  There was some ID during the Collective Soul, but I couldn't make it out.  Sounded like "Radio Dead Guy" to me, but I never heard of that one...  Maybe it was Radio Ga-Ga?

SDR recording catch. On with music at 0310-0311, then off, then back on 0314-0324, Additional transmissions of songs, with long gaps, from 0327-0348
Some electronic sound effects and short clips of voice between some of them. Some sounded like CB recordings.
Porky Pig "THat's All Folks" at 0349.

The SSTV was much much weaker here, so I think it could well have been a different station.
