Radio Casablanca 6950.6 KHZ AM 2312 UTC October 25, 2015
« on: October 25, 2015, 2314 UTC »
La Marseilles IS repeated several times
2314 UTC OM with ID..."You're listening to Radio Casablanca...send your reception reports to radiocasablanca1@gmail.com", into a Halloween themed tune
(I'm going to kick back and enjoy the show...enough details! ;))
I lied...Solid S8 signal with minor fades and excellent audio! Thanks RB!
0010 UTC Signal has faded into the noise now.... :(
0025 UTC Faded back up nicely to S6 here...now with La Marseilles, then some hideous laughter, OM, then OFF at 0028 UTC

Thanks for a superb Halloween special Richard Blaine! Signal dropped out for a bit, but it came back near the end. Thought I was sitting on the old sofa listening to the old standup radio for awhile :)

S9 with some local interference @ 2315.  Music seems louder than announcer.
ID and email @ 2349, followed by some creepy moaning, then on with the show.
Thanks for the show - nice signal.

Catching Radio Casablanca here with a S7-8 and great audio doing their "Halloween Show". ID's with email at 2314/21/30. Heard songs by Gracie Fields, Lil Armstrong, Artie Shaw, and George Formby. That for the awesome show Radio Casablanca! Very nice change of pace. ;D
