WBFR Black Friday Radio 6950.2 AM 0000 UTC 26 Nov 2016
« on: November 26, 2016, 0000 UTC »
Had some brief music here for about 30 seconds or so, then off
0002 UTC I have a carrier now, so maybe AM?
0003 UTC Brief fade up of audio...
0005 UTC "Paint It Black"-Rolling Stones
0009 UTC "Black Betty"-Ram Jam
(So far I'm getting some brief fade ups to S3 then deep fades into the noise)
0013 UTC OM said something but I couldn't copy due to a blast of OTHR  :( , into "Back In Black"-AC/DC
0017 UTC "Black Magic Woman"-Santana (Some nice S5 peaks during the song!)
0023 UTC "Black Friday"-Steely Dan
0030 UTC OM with a quick ID
(Signal is now completely buried in the noise  :()
0040 UTC OFF I think


Thanks for the ID myteaquinn and PirateSWL!

Thanks for the show Black Friday Radio! Now I think I'll dig myself a hole and lay down in it till I satisfy my soul!  :D
