0124z Red Mercury Labs S8-S9 in New Hampshire but unfortunately that's only about even with the static crashes.  Lots of thunderstorm activity in Louisiana.  Still, good copy though.

0127z Red Mercury ID with shouts, redmercurylabs@yahoo.com -  Oh No, Spike has passed away! RIP buddy.
0131z Simple Minds - Don't You Forget About Me

0135z Answered S. McArdle's question about the last Red Mercury QSL... Was taken from the Queen Mary - nice.  Here's the post with the QSL:

http://www.hfunderground.com/board/index.php/topic,14899.0.html

0142z Simple Minds - Alive And Kicking
0148z Coldplay - Talk
0157z Radiohead - Creep
0201z Greenday - Holiday (for Spike)
0205z Jane's Addiction - Jane Says (some audio dropouts and then distortion)
0221z RML ID
0215z Distortion is from QRM on frequency?  Hard to tell... During ID heard music in the background.

0223z Leonard Cohen - Everybody Knows - Distortion from two stations on frequency? (or?)
0225z Second station gone, signal sounding good now (I'm assuming RML is the one that's left)
0228z Iron Maiden - Dance of Death
0235z RML ID, has to deal with some RF feedback

Thanks for the show...  As usual I can't stay for the whole thing.  Keep up the good work.

Red Mercury Labs, 2-21-14, 0126-0240, 6.925U, S6 to S8 with heavy static tonite at 0126.  good, strong, punchy audio from the announcer, then into music from Simple Minds.  Audio on music is good & strong also.  When u asked us to guess what we were looking at on one of your qsl cards, what was the correct answer?  Was it somewhere off the coast of mexico?  Thanks for the answer.....i was thinking maybe Tijuana....guess I was in the neighborhood.  Hearing "Alive & Kicking" now at 0147.  Signal touching S9 +5 a couple of times now at 0151.  Losing propagation now at 0213.  Hearing Green Day with "Holiday" at 0215.  I believe station is now having audio problems at 0219.  Maybe low voltage problem with the power supply?  Also, qrm now from another station transmitting.  Audio problem seems cleared-up now at 0227.

attached is mp3 of 1 minute of show

Hardly a copy here .... can hear some music occasionally but unable to tell what it is.  Surprising given the very low static level I have (S1-S2)
