Radio Ga-Ga comedy bits/Summertime Blues 6925U
« on: July 28, 2010, 0303 UTC »
7/28/10
6925 USB
0245-0303z: Intermittent signal, sounds like comedy bits, parody music, "I know you are but what am I?" looped (I'm guessing Pee Wee Herman?).  Not quite strong enough here to ID much.
0310z: Eddie Cochran "Summertime Blues"
0312z: Canned Heat "Going Up The Country", sounded like live version w/ intro.
0315z: Boz Scaggs "Breakdown Dead Ahead"
0319z: Radio Ga-Ga ID, something about a test? Sounds like a QSO too, no copy of other op here.

SINPO=34233, pretty good signal, lots of local t-storm crashes.

0314z Weak, readable here on an in-building 2' loop; QRN is getting a little worse though as that T-storm complex to the west is moving eastward ...

I should add; I've been hesitant the last couple days of connecting any outside antennas ... on account of the T-storms ...

0318z ID: "Radio GaGa"

Somebody was calling Radio GaGa ("How about it Radio GaGa") ... sounded like an attempt at a QSO ... didn't seem to pan out though (no ans by GaGa) ...
