02:49 UTC  I am hearing music way down in the noise.  S-5 noise in Tejas.
03:11 UTC  Still hearing music, propagation has been rough the past several days.

[DimBulb]

Radio Mercury Labs started out on 6925u and then moved to 6940u.  Started out down in the noise at 0244z, suddenly came up to S5 at about 0258z.

RML says the 6925u wasn't him... maybe I should split this into two posts???  Nah

I can hear it on the NH remotes (my favourites). Not bad tunes, but no ID as of 0304

0316 - Maybe a whispered ID of some sort

0317 - Faint CW

0322 Station back up on 6940USB???

0338 - RML IDing (at last) and shout outs to HFU

0339 - Crazy Little Thing Called Love by Queen

0350 - Turning Japaneser?

0353 - RML must have shoved some Care Bears into his power furnace as signal now is S7 into NH

0357 - Possible friendly comment about me not knowing what shazam is. Talking about the show "Shazam"

0400 - Greenday "Basketcase"

0403 - "Brand New Lover" - Dead Or Alive

0406 - Satisfaction

Good Morning, Mr RML. How very nice to hear you. Dimbulb may have you on shazam (whatever the heck that is) but you're coming in nicely to New Hampshire at S7. Signal too poor to hear you direct in the UK.

(think I might go to bed as its 4.09am and Echo One needs his beauty sleep)

S6 here, RML ID @ around 0335z.  Much stronger than the signal on 6925 was earlier here.
Song details as above, and into "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" @ 0339z
Thanks for the show!

Still listening.  Said "one more song" @ 0424z, into "Strange Days" by the Doors.
Getting a little flutter now, but still good copy.

"Band on the Run" @ 0432z [love that song, playing along on the guitar]  thanks.

[Fuse]

0433 s9 here in north ga. Sounds good.

[ChrisSmolinski]

Heard on the SDR recording on 6925, but extremely weak.
Somewhat better later on 6940.

[RadioGallifrey]

Sorry. 6925 was me. I forgot to put in the ID!
