JBA carrier with audio at the wishful thinking threshold.

2:51z   Trying for RFW on my R 75 with a different antenna & they are slightly better but still JBA. I'm pretty sure I heard Mr Weeds distinctive voice & some music.

Very weak signal here also, just above the noise, catching parts of music being played. Noise level higher than usual here tonight. :-\

Heard the distinctive Soviet Anthem at 0234 UTC just after Channel Z and Andy Walker finished up with Part 4 of "Before They Were Famous". At first I thought this was a Z relay as it was a smooth transition and I didn't check the frequency, but the other postings give PRB Relays frequency. Dick Weed with mention of rare "remote broadcast" and a special music request by Chris Lobdell was played from some Swedish lady singer. There was a weak het on the frequency but copy was still pretty good here.
QSL's to poorbrookking >at< aol.com are greatly appreciated! All reception and postings using My radio, My antenna, and generally in real time(excluding posting of SSTV images!).
