« on: May 10, 2014, 0224 UTC »
Song Secret Agent Man working through the static. Sounded like an old time radio show before the song.

Thanks for the tip markokpik I should have let you start the post, sorry.

Same here since about 0220.  Couldn't really make out much of the talk.

Heard the same here, followed by YL who said 'this is [static crash, static crash], KU Radio'.  Then into "Man in the Box" @ 0228z.  Difficult copy with all the static crashes.

Thanks for the ID, Chris

Song Secret Agent Man working through the static. Sounded like an old time radio show before the song.

Same thing here however, I clearly heard a carrier and verified it was in  AM, and my radio showed it at 6931.9.
I wouldn't swear to it, but the computer voice ID sounded like W.E.A.K Radio .... but like the others, there was too
much local static crashing to be sure about that!  Did anyone outside the t-storm areas hear this to let us know?

Listening in Port Hope Michigan
DXing *either* from:
MI -- South Central Lower Michigan with a 25 m randomwire and a LOT of local noise!
or
MI2 -- the tip of Michigan's Thumb with a 100 metre longwire and much quieter conditions.  Radios can be either an SPR-4 or IC-R71A or SDRplay

QSLs appreciated! radioguy73@gmail.com

SDR recording catch

0218 sign on with Secret Agent Man theme song.
0220 WBNY IDs, man laughing about the rodent revolution, mention of Kracker and his **** partner Commander Bunny. Sad times for the… Mentions of gerbils.  Commander Bunny talking about driving the pirates away.
0222 Secret Agent Man theme again.
0225 Sure sounded like a WEAK ID. Yes, another one a few seconds later. "You are listening to one of the world's weakest radio signals, W-E-A-K WEAK Radio", into some unshazammable music .
0228 "Man In The Box"

Overall about an SIO 322, not super strong, plus t-storm static. It was AM for sure.
