Radio Magnetar 6930U
« on: September 09, 2010, 0121 UTC »
9/9/10
6930 USB
Since approx 0110z, spacey sound fx and music, Magnetar ID's (not sure if it's Radio Magnetar or Magnetar Radio, will have to check my mp3 later).
0146z: ID w/ gmail address.
0200z: Off after looonnnggg passage with very low nearly continuous bass note.

Good signal and thumping bass giving the Palstar SP30 speaker a workout through heavy local RFI.

60 second mp3 toward end of show, with ID midway.  Noise reduction used so there's some slight digitalish burbling sound:

Tuned in at 0107z, hearing spacey, electronic type music.  Heard the ID as "Pirate Station Magnetar, Radio Magnetar"  Another ID at 0137z.

Very strong signal, S9+20, very nice audio as well.

Off at 0200z.  Unusual show.  Thanks!
