Radio Free Mars 6949.3 AM 01:34 gmt 3/21
« on: March 21, 2015, 0135 UTC »
01:34  "Rocket Man" by Elton John

heard some voice earlier that might have been an ID, but just a bit above noise level here.

01:37  "Bennie and the Jets" by Elton John...
music coming through much better than any low level voice between songs.

Seems that there are news clips being played between the songs...

01:44  Another Elton John song

02:00  "Major Tom"  David Bowie song
still hearing clips of news programs between songs.

Tough signal at first, but tuned to 6.949.34 in DSB SAM and it's fairly clear now. Some noise. Hitting S8. Lower side much better audio quality and wider than upper. Lower filter limit set on 3 kHz and upper set on 1.5 kHz.

Maybe a montage now, but it sounds good. Rocket Man pieces played during song.

Thanks for the interesting show!
