Edmund Fitzgerald Memorial Station 6925.58AM 2242 9 November 2014

[rdla4]

Strong carrier, may have heard a bit of music, but the level was very low. Carrier is peaking over S9

Yes, I think it may be.


Confirmed, two way talk of the SAR at 2246

Tomorrow will be the 39th Anniversary of the loss, thank you for the broadcast.

S9 carrier, sounds like having some unwanted oscillation issues.  Heard some bells for a few seconds.  
Bells back on @ 2245z with good audio.
Seems to be Edmund Fitzgerald program.
Gordon Lightfoot song @ 2250

I had just a carrier with heavy pesky QRM at first and now I can hear the beginning of the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald at 2249z. About S9.

Very light here, S3 but readable.

S9+15 when I tuned in at 2309z. Radio communications - mention of Whitefish Bay. Into Gordon Lightfoot's "Edmund Fitzgerald" at 2310z. Very good sounding AM audio. Some slight fade starting up. 55444.

2315z - ID/email address, more comms.

Wow - 39 years ago.
