WEAK 6925U
« on: December 21, 2009, 0848 UTC »
Came on about 0820z, played the same punk song several times over, something about Attitude.  Having some problems with hum and intermittent audio. Seems to have solved the problem by 0828z, launched into a bunch of punk tunes.
Nice signal tonight, S9+10 with some fade.

Jusst barely audible here since catching ID around 0849z.  Might be hearing Police "Invisible Sun" around 0900z.  Right around S1 noise level at the moment, no clear peaks yet.
0921z: Some version of "Taxman" briefly audible, can't tell if Beatles or a cover.
0930z: David Bowie "Young Americans"

SINPO - 24312.  Signal picked up a bit after 0930z.  Peaks not quite as strong as last night's show, deeper fades to inaudible, and local RFI louder here, so a little more difficult to copy anything more than familiar stuff.

0936z: New Bohemians "What I Am"
0942z: Some sorta weird, slow, grindy version of "Sweet Home Alabama"
0952z: Sounds like WEAK decided against "Spirit in the Sky" and went with Byrds "Mr. Tambourine Man" instead.
0956z: Ohio Players "Fire" (Satch and Sugar were awesome!)
0959z: DJ Knobtwister ID, "As weak as a weak signal can be and still be a signal."
1015z: "Spirit in the Sky" reappears
1017z: Muh-muh-muh-My Sharona
1022z: Sounds like that punk version of "Louie Louie" for textim
1053z: Fleetwod Mac "Don't Stop" - yikes, sounds like technical problems midway through song, or maybe part of the Radio Clandestine segment, dunno.
1057z: Led Zep "Kashmir" from Radio Clandestine relay
1109z: "As weak as a weak signal can be and still be a signal.  WEAK Radio."
1120z: WEAK ID between more punk rock

SINPO - 34323, steadier since 0940z, fewer deep fades.
