WEAK Radio 6930U early show
« on: January 04, 2010, 1148 UTC »
1/4/10
6930 USB
1120z: "Bye Bye Tuesday"?
1125z: Blues-rock song w/ TalkBox guitar, "My daddy was a Gibson, My mama was a Fender, That's why they call me Mindbender" (Google fu sez: Stillwater - Mindbender)
1133z: Jokey song intro, kinda reminiscent of Bill Murray from Clapton's Crossroads tour doing his best Wavy Gravy impression.
1136z: Hitler jokes, wacky version of Ramones "Blitzkrieg Bop"
1149z: WEAK Radio ID
1156z: "I Don't Need No Doctor"
1200z: ID - "As weak as a weak signal can be and still be a signal.  WEAK Radio."
1230z: Still audible but rarely above S2 since 1200z.
1235z: Spoke too soon, peaking S4-S5 again with punchy bass in jazzy stuff and hard rock
1240z: WEAK IDs w/ e-mail address
1242z: Getting a second wind after brief pause, some gritty, mumbling, old school blues: "Railroad in my pillow crossties in my bed..."
1250z: Off after two-song encore and IDs.  Take a bow, now take a nap.

Hovering around S3, occasional peaks to S7, lots of fades to inaudible.  Seem to be some audio drop-outs and pauses too, hard to tell with the fading.  Punchy bass and great audio, easy to copy.  Occasional local RFI bursts (darned parking lot light)
